1)Cuban society is not monolithic, there are some attracted to our bling society, no doubt encouraged in this by radio and TV from the US. Cuba would happily let these people emigrate, but the US policy obstructs this in order to reap the propaganda benefits.

2)Then there is US policy once these people reach our shores. No people on earth receive such preferential treatment, it's like hitting the fucking lottery. Guess some find the risk worthwhile, given the reward, it's not as though people don't do crazy/stupid shit in this country for money. If the US had that sort of policy towards Mexican folks crossing the Sonoran Desert the dead would be piling up eyeball high.
