Oh No, This thread is going be fun :/
Let’s be honest.
He moved to Cuba to help usher in Castro’s regime and then he had buyer’s remorse.
From Battista to Castro...from bad to bad. Cuba is 50 years behind the times.

Rafael Jr. remembers life in his native Canada
Ted’s dad being interviewed by the surviving Grateful Dead guitarist? Interesting ...
el Cubano Cruz is a liar extraordinaire.
Rafael Cruz’s timeline from Cuba has so many red flags they could line the street for a Communist May Day Parade.
His stories and timeline conflicts with the other Cuban exiles of his era.
There was no need for his momma to sew money into his underwear. What a joke! He stole that lil story from reading about Operation Pedro Pan which was implemented for children late 1960-1962. He was not an orphan and likely came much earlier than he claims and was planted with family.
At the time of ‘Op Pedro-Pan, Rafael had already had a Cuban wife, Julia Garza, and two daughters. He had also somehow supposedly graduated UT Austin with a dual degree in Mathematics and Chem. Engineering. All this after arriving speaking zero English, in a university that required English proficiency for admission.
And Cuba was soooo bad he returned and stayed a while and missed a month or more of his Freshman year?
“That dog don’t hunt” and the rest of the story is equally full of holes.
Which eventually explains how Ted got a hand-up all expense paid Ivy League education with law degree and entree’ to the GWB administration.
What was life like in New Orleans in early 63, Raffie?
