Here we are, trying to save an innocent little boy from the evil clutches of Communism because we know how utterly miserable his life will be when he returns to Cuba. What good intentions we have, philanthropically attempting to rescue a child from poverty and oppression. Even if it means separating the child from his father, it is perfectly acceptable because his father lives in a Communist country and has little material goods. It's far, far better if the child lives here, where he can live in gluttony and be saturated with overzealous materialism. After all, Americans have discovered that the means to happiness is more and more stuff, and more and more money to buy more stuff with. And Americans are always right. We know the answer to everything.
Nevermind that in our own rich capitalist nation, children live in wretched poverty. Tell me, is it not hypocritical to keep a child from his parents because we don't like the government of his country when we allow our own children to go hungry on the poisonous inner-city streets of Chicago and New York?
