    How about they take it out of the 1.3 billion they kept, when ruled against over the illegal softwood tariffs?

    And I thought it was only third world countries that charge passenger departure tax...oh wait, I guess they are becoming such so its understandable. Coming soon to America, chicken buses and raw sewage in the streets.

    We have one south of the boarder, but they keep hoping over and dropping off kids and claiming food stamps, welfare checks, etc.

    Meh, it's another tax... Before you leave Cuba, you have to pay 25 Cuc (about $27) before you can go through customs... You don't pay, you don't go home...

    Not a big deal IMO, if you don't like it, don't go to the states I suppose

    The difference is Cuba is a ghetto mfk'ing country compared to the US... right?
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
    —Cicero, Roman statesman and lawyer

    If I'm going to have to pay $5.50 to get in, I expect to be able to choose which TSA agent that will grope me.

    The $5.50 fee would not apply to visitors arriving in private vehicles.

    I guess going to certain parts of the US is kind of like visiting a zoo, so why not charge ticket prices?

    With how much debt the US has, are they REALLY that far ahead of Cuba? I mean, the US is that fake baller on roids. He doesn't own shit but you kinda don't want to piss him off because he'll rage on your ass.

    Well they already collect this tax on people visiting from other countries. I suppose no one is going to notice $5.50 on their plane ticket but still...
