[Marxism] The latest visa denial

["Eli Stephens" <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Only some Cubans are welcome in the U.S.

Cuban terrorists who have killed dozens of people? Welcomed with open arms.
Baseball players? Welcomed with open wallets. Scientists who are being given
awards for developing a synthetic vaccine which might save millions of
children? Not welcome:

"The San Jose, California Technical [sic] Museum has awarded one of its
annual prizes in the health category to the team of specialists who worked
on obtaining the Cuban vaccine against Haemophilus infuenzae Type B, the
bacteria that causes meningitis, pneumonia and other infections in
under-fives.

"The award ceremony is scheduled for November 9 at the museum itself, but
Dr. Vicente Verez Bencomo, the principal author of this important
achievement, cannot attend it because the U.S. government has refused him a
visa, arguing that his presence would be prejudicial to that country?s
interests."
