I was fortunate enough to meet an actually refugee who made his way to Lansing
from Cuba. He came up here with his son to escape from the economic insecurity.
He claimed that working as a mechanic he made merely 30 cents for a full day
of work. This was not enough money to buy food for him and his son. He also
explained that every day his human right were violated. He said, “They
are (Cubans) constantly humiliated. A Cuban in Cuba is basically a fly.”
