So, is 90% of Miami going to go back to Cuba?

It all depends on the definitions of refugee and immigrant.

A refugee, as defined by the UN, is someone fleeing possible torture and death. The first safe country they reach is supposed to offer them asylum.

The term immigrant is wider for anyone entering a country. If NOT a refugee the country they come to has no obligation to accept them.

Back to the thread title question: how many Florida Cubans dream of returning to Cuba? I suspect those who fled the island (for reasons good and bad) are now a dwindling, aging demographic. Most Floridians of Cuban heritage have never been there, know it only as a magic land in their elders' tales, and/or see it as a tropical dump. Entrepreneurs see it as ripe for exploitation. Will cash win?

I knew Cuban refugees. My long-ago college Spanish instructor was a Cubana who fled with her doctor husband after the revolution. He had specialized in diseases of the rich; with Castro, weren't no ricos left, so they ran for Palm Springs. (The accent she taught had Mexicans grin at me. But I digress.) They were part of the reason for Castro's revolution, the overthrow of the mafiya state. How many returnees see the future Cuba as another mob paradise?
