Meanwhile, a little bit of news that came out yesterday, Cuba finalized a massive reform of its immigration system, a huge loosening of it.
Previously,
They didn't allow dual citizenship for the most part.
And if you were gone for a certain amount of time, that was kind of a de facto renunciation of your citizenship.
Immigration law is always complex, so we might have the details slightly off here.
But the loosening is going to allow dual citizenship.
And it's going to allow Cubans who have gone to not just the US, but Brazil, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, you name it, to go back and forth.
It will also allow them to spend money
that they have earned in Central or South America or the North America back in Cuba, and then to go again.
So it's a huge liberalization of their immigration policy, which is interesting.
And it comes at a time as hundreds of thousands of people, as Trump and then Biden,
really ratcheted up the boot on the neck of the Cuban economy, hundreds of thousands of Cubans have, and millions at this point over maybe five, six years, have fled Cuba.
And so what this is saying is that if they want to come back, the way I read it, if they want to come back,
They can do so.
And they don't have to stay either.
They can come back and visit and go back.
So anyway, that's... And bring, I guess, potentially bring stuff for people suffering.
Bring stuff and bring money.
Yeah.
Because, and to... It's a flight from Miami to Havana.
