14ymedio, Havana, 18 November 2015 — The Cuban singer Silvio Rodriguez
believes that "we must do something" for the close to 2,000 Cubans who
are waiting at the border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua in hopes of
continuing their journey to the United States. "Having seen these
countrymen carrying their children (the innocents of this bitter
adventure), moves me deeply and mobilizes me," the artist wrote this
Wednesday in his blog.

Rodriguez denounced a "manipulation by the media and interests against
Cuba, just at the time when the headlines are filled with terrorism and
forced migration towards Europe."

"Now the Costa Rican Foreign Minister launches the not at all
providential 'solution' of building a bridge so that these two thousand
Cubans will arrive at their destination. What a great man this gentleman
is, doing this for Cubans, knowing full well that in the United States
there is a law especially favoring the arrival of our people with dry
feet," added the singer.

"I haven't seen news of a some pronouncement in favor of another group
of Latin Americans. I only see the foreign minister making an
international call in a resounding attempt for the moral legalization of
the Cuban Adjustment Act (and incidentally ridding himself of a
problem). Right now with the rapprochement between Washington and Havana
that 'law' is on shaky ground. What a load of crap!" he writes.
