Elian Gonzalez Should Stay In The U.S. Essay, Research Paper


Dear Rosa Delauro,


After reading many articles in the newspapers


and magazines that all state, 6 year old Elian Gonzalez has been in the


middle of an international tug-of-war since he was found on Thanksgiving


Day. Clinging to an inner tube at sea for two days drifting after his family


and him were trying to escape from Cuba for freedom. I have decided that


it is the right thing for little Elian to stay in the United States.


The phone rings: “Your 6-year old son has


just been found in the ocean, shipwrecked, clinging to an inner tube. His


mother drowned. He is now in Miami hospital.” Do you respond? “I?ll be


there as soon as I possibly can.” or “Send him back to me. I demand it.”


Elian?s biological father Juan Gonzalez was asked again and again. Why


he didn?t go to Miami to see his son. He didn?t answer the question all


he demanded was that his son be returned to him, finally threatening the


Miami relatives with whom Elian is staying with. Juan says his son is the


subject of not only kidnapping but also child abuse. If your son was kidnapped


and abused, and the U.S. attorney general publicly said you were able to


come see him. Would you stay home? Well Juan Gonzalez is staying home.


Why does he lack true affection for the his son? Is he one of those political


simpletons so colored with Fidelism that he would rather let his abused


son fail than give the slightest political advance to the U.S. to see him.


Should Elian be trusted to such a man like his father? Juan lacks the abilities


to provide even the basics for Elian. That is, food, security, justice,


freedom and the right to be happy. I think that Elian?s father should not


be trusted with his son because he can?t even come to the U.S. to see how


his son is. If any man in there right mind were able to leave Cuba to come


see their child they would drop ever thing for them. Elian shouldn?t be


trusted with a man who demands his son be brought back to Cuba and can?t


give him food, security, justice, freedom and the right to be happy. When


Elian was asked if he wanted to be with his father he said “He cares for


his father but he would like his father to be here with him.”


The Miami cousins said they are doing more


than giving life to the dying wishes of Elian?s mother. She risked, and


gave, her l

ife to bring him to freedom. They insisted they could give Elian


a better life than his father could in Cuba. “I was suprized because I


always thought this was a place of liberty and they are not letting him


keep the liberty,” said the cousin. They have brought Elian to Disney World,


celebrated Christmas in the U.S. and enrolled him is school. They are giving


the boy a life better than his father can. If Elian is raised here in the


U.S. he would he free to go. If he were raised in Cuba he wouldn?t even


be allowed to intend leaving. He would be a child of the state. Congress


has it right, grant the poor little poster boy citizenship. “American citizenship


is a badge of freedom, a license to liberty, an imposition” said the cousin.


There is hunger in Cuba. “It?s a crime


to send him back, there is food here.” Said Melba. There is not enough


medicine. What about the little boys education? “If we send him back to


Cuba, we are letting Castro have what he wants, and Castro is a very evil


man” said Melba. Juan Gonzalez should want his boy to grow up in the United


States were his mother died for him. Elian?s mother gave her life for the


freedom of her son. “Today?s decision violates her desires for Elian and


instead delivers him to a country where an oppressive director does not


allow hope and where people lack the most basic human rights” said John.


Awaiting for Clinton?s arrival, a group of people yelled through bullhorns,


“Elian, we are with you. The people are with you.” They waved signs that


said “We want Elian in the USA,” “Freedom from Cuba,” and “Down with Tyranny.”


Elian is still a baby he should be allowed to live in the United States


and have freedom that is what his mother wanted him to have.


Migual Gonzalez said that the boy is not


going back to a dreary island prison. Elian?s mother died for the boy to


enjoy freedom and justice; so he could be able to pursue happiness, to


grow as an individual and to be respected as such. His mother died for


his future.


There using Elian as a toy and Fidel Castro


is saying “He?s mine not yours.” To them this is about fighting Castro


not about the well being of the boy. Elian will grow up to risk his life


at the Florida Strait or to rot in a political prison. That?s enough reason


to keep him in the United States. Thank you for taking your time to read


this letter.
