Despite allegations that Democratic New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez
had sex with underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic on several
occasions in recent years, he has been a persistent critic of the Cuban
regime for economic conditions that have led to widespread prostitution
among young people.
“The average Cuban worker lives on an income of less than $1 a day,” Menendez said during a March 2, 2009 Senate floor speech, arguing that the communist Cuban dictatorship’s policies caused nationwide poverty.
“This poverty has an enormous cost,” the son of Cuban emigres to the
U.S. explained. “The widespread desperation of families has forced far
too many young girls and boys into becoming sex workers, even though
defenders of the Revolution constantly cite the elimination of
prostitution as one of its supposed accomplishments.”
