> With 1m people leaving in a year, it clearly has its issues - but lots of the comments here are a good example of how your country's media and propaganda can significantly colour your opinions.
What? 10% of a country leaving in one year tells you what Cubans think of Cuba. That's not propaganda, that's fact. On the contrary, it seems like you have some kind of preconceived notion of that life in Cuba is in fact not that bad (poor but laid back perhaps?), but if that were true people would not leave would they?
Fact is populations will leave if they see chance at a better life elsewhere, even if they aren't living in an active warzone or under some some government the US doesn't like.
> moving to a different country with a different language.
The US doesn't have an official language, there are areas that speak almost exclusively spanish. All government shit is available in spanish. Puerto Rico speaks spanish. Over a fifth of Floridians speak spanish at home.
Things are not so simple as Cuba bad, USA good. Wage differentials easily explain why so many come to the USA. Maybe they like Cuba but cannot come for better wages. Cuba has its problems, but definitely the USA/cia is targeting the regime with negative publicity. Who knows maybe you work at a cia troll farm.
