5. Doesn't matter who the kid is, or the parent, as long as anyone is Cuban,
the Cuban extremists in Miami (or in New Jersey, etc.) are going after him/her tooth and claw. They demand to win EVERY situation involving a Cuban national.

They even have stood in line outside concerts with Cuban bands, like Los Van Van, and hurled D-Cell batteries, rocks, bottles, eggs, and sacks of excrement at people trying to get into the auditoriums. They call in bomb threats to buildings where Cuban musicians are going to appear, just to keep them from performing.

The Latin Grammy tv program producer had to move the program to Los Angeles the year the WTC was attacked, when the Miami crowd refused to accept a court order not to crowd around the entrance to the auditorium where Cuban musicians were expected to arrive, and they could psysically attack them.

The Human Rights Commission said Miami has a problem with the First Amendment, as people who voice an opinion different from theirs will be persecuted. The HRC didn't mention they have even been bombed for their opinions.

Bad, BAD problem.
