Switch backfires...

HAVANA - Bernardo Heredia fled communist Cuba a decade ago, and this year loaned his lookalike younger brother his U.S. residency documents to help him do the same.

But what started in March as an act of familial love became a full-blown sacrifice when Cuban authorities got wise to the ploy and refused to let the elder Heredia leave the island, effectively switching the lives of two brothers.

Must be hell for the older brother...although IF I had escaped I dont think you would have caught me back in Cuba again.

So the younger brother leaves his wife and child in Cuba for Freedom and does not tell her.. whats up with that.

How was he planning on bringing them over?? or was he... I must say that kind of an important decision to make without talking to your Spouse. considering she would have been left to fend for herself...
