A stunning 10% of Cuba’s population — more than a million people — left the island between 2022 and 2023, the head of the country’s national statistics office said during a National Assembly session Friday, the largest migration wave in Cuban history.

Seems ripe for overthrow especially if and when Trump takes office. Happening in Argentina and El Salvador. We need to fan the flames and offer to bring the nation into the 21st century. Do it in a way that rubs their noses in the dirt along with the communist ideology. I'd be awesome.

And where did they go as if I need to ask? Curious that we hear no mention of a million Cubans invading the US.

Let me guess, 10% of Cuba came to America in 2 years.

Once overthrown the Cuban National baseball team can become the Miami Marlins. Current players on the roster can be drafted into other teams.

There all in the US now.

They are all in Martha’s Vineyard and being cared for all of their needs.

I have personal reports of many Cubans entering Mexico in attempts to get to the USA.

Not a statistical confirmation, but some evidence..

And you and I get to foot their bills.

I was under the impression it was quite difficult to flee Cuba.

Have they changed the official policy so that if you are fed up with communism you can just say adios?

It is my understanding that Biden allows the citizens of at least 8 countries to immigrate at will to the USA.

Opened the prisons?

Cubans are immigrants we probably want.

My area of Florida (15 miles south of Sarasota) now has the ‘diversity’ of Northern Virginia of the early 1990s.

The newer arrivals here in my part of Florida seem decent enough, but they are not of high quality as in the past.

Probably, but 90% WISH they could.

Yes, I thought the commies didn’t let people leave their countries.

I live in northern Va. the demographics of this area is radically different that than the demographics of the early 90’s.

Cubans have lived under communism and from what i can see they mostly oppose communism with the DemoNaziCommie party when they come here. they tend to vote conservative, R — they want liberty not oppression.

we have only met a few people tho, so this is anecdotal not a proper survey or anything like that

My neighbor, and best friend in Florida, is a Cuban immigrant. He’s a hard working, Christian guy with a great wife and very polite children.
He doesn’t have to ask twice, if he needs a hand, or a favor from me.

Two of them delivered a washer-dryer to my house last month from Lowe’s.

This is not a joke at all.

[FlingWingFlyer]

And they are bringing that Cuban Caribbeaner crap with them to America.

Prisons and mental hospitals.
