1) If this were a relevant comparison, why does Cuba have a negative immigration rate? The answer is simple. People will risk their lives to leave Cuba/People risk their lives to come to the U.S. Obviously our "rate" isn't bad enough to warrant moving to another country.
2) The most current information regarding infant mortality:
U.S.: 6.63/1000 births
Cuba: 6.41/1000 births
A difference of 0.22 is hardly worth pointing out.
You could also compare the U.S. to the eighteen countries that have an infant mortality rate of 10% or higher which would make our rate, of less than 0.663%, look really good.
