This week on the news two politicians attacked the immigrants as being “Castro-loving scofflaws.” There are probably many immigrants who are sympathetic to Cuba. And the goal is to change the law so that all immigrants can become fully legal.

Besides, under capitalism scoffing at unjust laws is the beginning of wisdom. Or as Martin Luther King said, “People have a duty to resist unjust laws.” Sí se puede!

Political discussions in Cuba
I was in Santiago de Cuba March 15-22 with a contingent from the National Lawyers Guild for research and exchange with the Central Organization of Cuban Workers, Cuban labor lawyers, and others.

In two instances the resources of the Militant and Pathfinder led to solid political discussions. I had with me recent copies of the Militant and had just read Our History is Still Being Written. I used the Militant English side as my Cuban friends used the Spanish side as we talked about working-class issues in the United States. This facilitated excellent exchanges far beyond the limits of my halting Spanish. We were able to speak a language we all understood.

My knowledge of the three generals of Chinese-Cuban descent and the monument to Chinese combatants shocked the Cubans and led to several discussions on the fight against imperialism and the class struggle. The Cubans were encouraged and fortified that there are people in the U.S. producing such materials. I could not have connected at such a level without your resources.
