"...over 100,000 dead Cuban's at the bottom of the Florida Straits.."

Where did you get that figure? I'm not doubting you for an instant. It's believable, having gone on now for nearly a half century......but I'm just wondering where such a statistic comes from.

I lived in South Florida for 11 years, mostly in the Miami area which has a large Cuban population.

I just remember reading articles about how over a million Cubans have come to the US and it is estimated that at least 100,000 have drowned in the Florida Straits trying to get here.
