The wave of abuse that many Cubans in a migratory trance have to endure follows the logic of international relations and the mafia that controls human trafficking, stratified into different segments that include authorities and civil servants.
Most Cubans are second-class citizens in their own country, deprived of their basic rights, trying as best they can to escape the communist paradise that previously impoverished them materially and spiritually; So it shouldn’t surprise us that Cubans are fourth-class citizens to foreign states.
Our emigrants are fresh and juicy meat for people smugglers, including Cuban coyotes and others, who take advantage of the plight of others to make a temporary profit by offering them mere subsistence jobs in exchange for shelter and food; as happens in Guyana, and to reinforce the adage that there is no worse wedge than the same suit.
Contrary to general criteria, international relations are not based on ethical principles, but on state interests, which limit the room for maneuver of governments of different political persuasions, subject to the rules of the game and their obligation to defend what is most convenient for them country, in case anyone doubts it that he will review the Biden administration’s deals with Nicolás Maduro over the oil crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine; another example of the rules that govern global geopolitics.
As a foreign official or Cuban employee of a foreign consulate in Havana mistreated a visa applicant; They do so, aided by the general immigration policy framework of the government they serve, including those with fluid political ties to the West’s oldest dictatorship, as in the case of Mexico, which actually serves as the immigration sheriff for the United States, in return for a hefty annual salary; an agreement that also includes Guatemala and that will soon be joined by the other Central American nations.

Until Cuba democratizes and develops economically, there will be prison, exile and exile, emigration and worms waving flags against the economic embargo, showing their lazy and opportunistic ignorance of the causes of the sanctions; Factors and mechanisms for levying them and the workings of real politics.
As in all political and economic processes, citizens also have responsibilities and only a minimal percentage of Cubans mistreated by foreign nations dare to denounce it, perhaps due to the totalitarian habit of remaining silent in the face of injustice; Do not confuse these silent people with the numerous protagonists of 11J, with whom they only share geographical origins and from whom they are increasingly distancing themselves, believing that if they only become hostages in the distance they will be safe with a visa the communist plague that sank Cuba and has caused the deaths of countless compatriots in the Florida Straits for five years. the Darién Jungle and other points of forced and extended island geography.
