Job requirements: English, a car, law enforcement

Among the things that Fidel Castro took away from Cuba’s old-fashioned (better translated as anticommunist) families were wedding rings, photos, diplomas, and memories running the gamut from irreplaceable baby rattles to property titles, from a genuine diamond ring to a doubtful picture of "abuela Lola" (grandma ditto). In short, leaving the valuables of a family, one way or the other, reduced to a chicken beak and a feather's broth.
    Many of these families — count us in — had less luggage than Tarzan, Jane and Chita. My father-in-law tried hard to send us copies of our high school, college and journalism diplomas, but since everything was already the worst quality in printing in Cuban history, they had to be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by one of the Castro brothers, none of which was legal. The families I'm referring to, including us, started a new American life in every possible way with new careers, jobs, neighbors, schools for the kids and — adding the most important of them all — citizenship, a national anthem and language. So, Cubans who decided to stay in Cuba were to be obedient communists and unhappy for ever after. Or they could put their lives on stake by trying to leave the island to be free Americans, including their duties.
    So far, for us free citizens of the world, life is worthwhile, every minute of it, and we enjoy every mile separating us from Cuba. Many people have asked me through the years, if I have ever gone back to the island or if it is in my plans. My answer is always the same: "I have nothing in Cuba to make me go back. My country is the United States, and even if we could get rid of both Castros and other garbage and pests, everything I care for is in here.”
    Now, I could add some other reasons. For instance, the never-ending talks between the USA and Cuba where the communists never did or will accept being members of any of our respected organizations of the decent, well-organized countries of the world — either OAS, NATO,  or any other combination of letters naming free countries of the world. However, Cuba would give anything to be a member but denies it to let people know that if they are not members, it’s because they don't want to. A ridiculous attitude that everybody recognizes by now.
    If Cuba is not ready to accept the American conditions, and Americans are not sincerely at the table of negotiations, why has Cuba already sent hundreds of thousands of Cubans with papers enabling them to work and stay here? I'm asking, just wondering...
    New Cubans have been sent without knowledge of the English language. Nor have they the slightest idea of American laws and their enforcement, besides how easy its to end up in jail in this great country for not following their legal procedures. Even driving without a license puts you in jail. Besides, how is anybody going to drive if they don't have a car?
    It is a difficult chain of events to be understood as soon as anyone sets foot in the USA. You are better off if you know the language to get a job. In order to get a job, a car is a necessity, and to be able to drive, a license is a must.
    The United States of America has good opportunities, but obstacles are in the way.
