“Once the backbone of a strident and galvanized exile community, the Cuban-American old guard has shrunk in size and influence. They have aged, and their Americanized grandchildren, tuned-in to hip-hop music and hooked on pod casts, do not long for Cuba as they do. Two mass exoduses, during the 1980 Mariel boatlift and the 1994 balsero crisis, have injected younger members who grew up under Castro. Still more recently, South Florida’s Cuban community has absorbed a small but constant stream of new arrivals, many more concerned about sending food money to their families in Cuba than lobbying Congress.”
