CAPSULE COMMENTARY: “U.S. Repatriates Cuban Baseball Star”

by

Another proud day in the history of the United States. The U.S. government forcibly repatriated Cuban baseball star Andy Morales into Cuban communist tyranny after he and 30 other Cubans who had fled Cuba were captured at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard before they could set foot on American shores. Morales’s parents, who live in the Cuban town of San Nicolas, said that they had no objections to their son’s attempt to migrate to the United States. But maybe U.S. Attorney General and family-values champion Janet Reno believed that it was important that the 25-year-old Morales be reunited with his father and mother.
