Cuban-Americans don't reflect a random sample of Cubans. A lot of the capital-owning class left Cuba for obvious reasons and came to the US. The political interests of Cuban-Americans today reflects this historical animosity toward the Cuban-government.

- lolinder 3y agoBut Cuban-Americans' money won't go poof if Cuba is let free of the embargo either, nor will they magically get more money if the embargo continues. What do second- and third-generation Americans with Cuban ancestry get out of a continued embargo?

- TheCleric 3y agoYes, and the kind of folks leaving Cuba now, tend to be the most desperate to be free from the government, so would only reinforce the animosity. You simply don't have people who are fans of the Cuban government coming here, so it's all negatively reinforcing.
