Cuban orphans weigh in on Elian case and stay in U.S.
A cohort of Cuban refugees in Wichita who arrived unaccompanied in the 1960s oppose sending Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba. They frame parental rights and the dangers of Cuba’s regime, arguing the boy should stay in the United States to pursue the dream of opportunity. They contrast Cuba’s lack of freedom with America’s chance for a future.
