Gonna see if I can find this again, and link it here if I can, but a while back I saw a reddit thread about conditions in Cuba. An actual immigrant showed up and stated that he was in the US purely for economic reasons – working and sending money back to feed his family – and that he would return to Cuba again if he could. He ended up saying that yes, Cuba has problems with hunger and poverty, but it’s the fault of the United States, not the Cuban government. “Who do I blame? Not the man who broke the power of the mob in Havana, and who singlehandedly built my country into a medical research powerhouse. It’s not Castro. It’s not the communists. It’s the pigs across the water.”
I have definitely met some from very poor countries who have drank the Kool Aid, hard. American propaganda is indeed the most powerful in all of human history. People come here and some experience “Paris Syndrome” and are shocked at what a shithole this place is.
My guess is that if its real, they are people from the intelligentsia, people with higher education (teachers, scientists, doctors, nurses). They wanna go to the west because they get paid more. Ofc thats very egoistic considering they got their higher education for free while if they had been born in the west they probably couldnt have afforded to study in university. Its good ol brain drain.
Is this fake or those people are that pathetic to backstabb their own country and make propaganda to the US?

There are several Cuban emigrants who send back money to their families and even encourage some of them to open small businesses in Cuba.
