Baseball player smuggler gets five years

Baseball agent Gustavo "Gus" Dominguez received a minimum five-year sentence from a Federal judge today in Los Angeles after being convicted in April of 12 diffferent crimes involving the smuggling of Cuban refugees to the United States.

In the AP article (empasis mine):

More than a dozen family members, friends and members of the sports industry wrote to the judge on behalf of Dominguez, including Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax, Washington Nationals pitcher Jason Simontacchi and Chicago Cubs catcher Henry Blanco.

I hope they saved Koufax's letter for the end, or else the rest is anticlimax.

So, the Cuban Adjustment Act makes coming to America (so long as they make it) legal for Cubans, but it's a federal crime to help them?
