25. Elian would be in a Miami gang right now
if that criminal family had been allowed to raise him. Lazaro had no visible means of support and their twin sons had been convicted to robbing tourists.

What happened to all the dire predictions that if Elian were returned to Cuba he'd be deprived of milk and forced to work in sugar cane fields? His dad always had special perks because he worked at a resort and had access to American dollars. Now he's a member of parliament, his house has been refurbished, and Elian has a comfortable, relatively normal life. He's brought forward on occasion, but if he'd remained here, don't you suppose he might be sitting next to Laura Bush at the SOTU?
