2. 99.8% of Americans & US residents are still travel banned.
Edited on Fri Jan-14-11 09:22 PM by Mika
99.8% of Americans & US residents have to get permitted by OFAC to go, unless you belong to the .2% demographic that can go with no need for a permit (Cuban immigrants and Cuban-Americans).

8. All those lost opportunities for child prostitution.
I weep for the poor fat perverts denied their access to dusky underage sex. :eyes:

9. Pathetic.
And disgusting. Yet another of DU's Cuba "experts" I see, pushing the RW exile meme. :puke:

Miami's Calle Ocho (SW 8th St.) has more underage hookers than anywhere I've ever seen in Cuba. Sometimes, even the Miami-Dade cops are pimping them.

10. No difficulties for 3/4th of my family.
British passport. But my wife can't get one - yet.

So although we don't have the desire to go to Cuba, most of my family have the ability.

20. You can't go directly from the US but you can go indirectly
I'd love to go if I had the money. Cubans are wonderful people.

21. HuhWhat? Who told you that? You cant do that either.
You could go to mexico and then fly to cuba but that is not allowed under US laws as far as I know.

22. Exactly. No matter the routing, it is still illegal.
Astonishing that the DUers here posting alternate indirect routing schemes completely avoid the FACT that American travel to Cuba is illegal by US law.

Isn't posting methodologies to undertake illegal activities against DU's rules?

26. Is US law the only law in the universe?
Lots of people go to Cuba through other countries.
