Raul Castro Is Letting Cubans Travel

Fidel Castro's little brother Raul is continuing to loosen restrictions in Cuba, now letting his people take a vacation.
According to the Daily Mail, the Communist party paper Granma announced Cubans would no longer need an exit visa. As of January 14, citizens of the country can go abroad with only a passport, and stay wherever they like for up to 24 months without risk of losing property.
For the past 51 years, even if someone got the required documents, which could cost up to $350, they weren't always allowed to actually leave the country.

Florida is full of illegal Cubans. It's just going to get worse now. They will let all the prisoners out as Mexico did . Good ole U.S. will absorb these butt heads.
