  For the money, primarily.  Also, for a higher overall standard of
living or because they do not support the government there or they
have relatives inthe U.S.

  Cuba has some of the best baseball teams and players as well, but
just because they are some of the best does not mean that they will
not try to leave for the United States where they can make a lot of
money and live far higher on the hog, so to speak.

  Please do not attempt to make the case that because some Cuban
doctors want to leave that island that it somehow implies that the
Cuban medical system is some giant dysfunctional mess and a failure.
Wealthy Americans routinely seek to move their assets offshore, out of
the country, but that does not mean that the financial system of the
United States is some abysmal failure.
