Why is America Allowed To Have Guantanamo Bay prison for terrorist's and prisoners of war in Cuba if Cuba Does not Even allow Americans Into Cuba? I Know That Americans can fly from Mexico or Canada to Cuba, but not straight from America. My husband says icts Because Cuba Does not Like Americans, So Why Do They Let Us Have A prison there?

The US has kept a military base at Guantanamo since the Spanish were defeated 110 years ago. Cuba hasn't really had much choice in that matter.
When Castro took over Cuba, in 1959, he couldn't really do much about the base (though it is said he stopped cashing the rental cheques).
The US prohibits its citizens from travelling to Cuba without permission - this is widely seen as a cold war leftover, which won't go away because of the influence of Cuban expats in Florida politics.
The Cuban authorities love to receive visitors from the US and is looking forward to the day that the travel ban is relaxed.
