Immigration Fraud: Litmus Test

U S Federal Court Dept: To many in Florida's Cuban exile community, however, Posada remains in the defiant words of one of the banners his supporters carried this week outside a Texas courtroom "a soldier, a patriot, a fighter for liberty and democracy.", according to CBC. Although the formal allegations against him seem almost pedestrian he is charged with lying to immigration officials in his 2005 application to enter the U.S. his case has become a litmus test of Washington's resolve to fight international terrorism whatever its face and also to put some of its own dark past on the stand and to the Cuban government , Luis Posada Carriles is the Osama bin Laden of Latin America, a coldly calculating, unapologetic Cold Warrior who is responsible for the murder of at least 74 innocents. It is hard to reconcile either of those polar-opposite views with the courtly, no-longer-larger-than-life 82-year-old currently on trial for immigration fraud. Luis Posada Carriles, in Miami's Little Havana neighbourhood in March 2010. A man with a long history of violent opposition to the Castro government, Posada currently faces 11 counts of perjury, obstruction and naturalization fraud in U.S. federal court in El Paso.
