Can you explain why so many Cubans have left for or attempted to leave for the US?
It's not nearly as rosy a life as you make it out to be.
Communism, as it has been implemented on this planet, is inherently oppressive. Oppression could very easily be considered evil.

Problem with the first argument is that a tremendous number of Mexicans have attempted to leave for the US as well. The illegal immigration in cuba has much more to do with general economic disparity between the US and latin america, as opposed to political differences. Are there a large number of Cubans attempting to leave their country for Mexico or other latin-american democracies or dictatorships? I don't know, but I suspect there aren't a lot.
