Havana, Cuba

Wants Western liberty

Carlos Mendoza

Mechanic · Age 41

“I can keep a 1958 engine alive. I am not allowed to own the garage.”

Carlos has rebuilt the same Chevrolet more times than the state has rebuilt a promise. He wants to hang a sign with his name on it, buy parts without a cousin in the ministry, and feed his sons without a ration book. He is not asking for a yacht. He is asking for a lock that he holds the key to.

Stated wants

  • A business in his name
  • A full grocery aisle
  • Wages he can keep
  • A boat trip that is legal

Seeking a seat in

the United States

Leaving Republic of Cuba. The Program is looking for an American who would prefer Cuba.

Freedom Exchange Program

They want your Constitution. You want their committee. We arrange the swap.

Registry

Notice

This is satire. No passports are processed, no ministries are on the phone, and no one is being sent anywhere. The joke is the idea. The values are not.
