The story of Elián González, a small, shipwrecked
Cuban boy who was the center of an international
custody battle in 2000, should have taught that splitting
families makes for bad politics. Apparently, it seems not
to have done.
With his eye on holding Florida in this year's
presidential election, George Bush has tightened the
rules on contacts between Cuban-Americans and their
families back on the island. From June 30th, Cuban-
Americans can make only one two-week visit every
three years, instead of unrestricted annual visits. They
will not be able to send as much money to people on
the island, and none beyond their immediate families.
All humanitarian visits have been scrapped.
