Wait, so now it's our fault that his mother died at sea.

"They were very sad times for me, which marked me for my whole life. I was never given the chance to have a moment to think about my mother, who as a result of that (U.S.) Cuban Adjustment Act died at sea," the now-19-year-old Gonzalez said last weekend during a Union of Young Communists event.
Clearly his mother died because Castro turned Cuba into an island prison. No doubt Elian is being handed a script and forced to read it. This is what you get with collectivism. The Elian saga was one of the worst and saddest moments of the Clinton admin. Eric Holder was a key player.
"I suffered the consequences of that law. They also violated my basic rights gathered in the (U.N.) Convention on the Rights of the Child: the right to be together with my father, the right to keep my nationality and to remain in my cultural context," Gonzalez said.
YEAH. THE US NEEDS TO LET YOU GO HOME RIGHT NOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR FATHER IN CUBA!

He belonged with his father after his mother died in the ocean. The Miami relatives really did not have the right to keep him. His father was alive and well and wanted him back.
In this country, if parents are divorced, one parent cannot take the child out of the state of his/her residence without permission of the Court and the other parent.
