Related: Most [58%] Cuban American voters identify as Republican in 2020 ... - https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/10/02/most-cuban-american-voters-identify-as-republican-in-2020/

The Obama administration has ended the Clinton-era policy known as "wet foot, dry foot," which allows Cubans special immigration status just days before he leaves office.

The change in the policy would effectively mean Cubans are treated like other immigrants in that those who enter the United States illegally would be subject to return, according to the White House...

Cubans have been offered a "special visa" status that allows them, with a single "dry" foot on U.S. soil to claim a green card and get onto a pathway to citizenship, a policy developed in the mid-1990s by President Bill Clinton...

The "wet foot, dry foot" policy was continued under Presidents Bush and Obama.

"Effective immediately, Cuban nationals who attempt to enter the United States illegally and do not qualify for humanitarian relief will be subject to removal, consistent with U.S. law and enforcement priorities," the White House statement said. "By taking this step, we are treating Cuban migrants the same way we treat migrants from other countries." - https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obama-administration-ending-wet-foot-dry-foot-policy/story?id=44744274

The inconsistency btwn this "wall" and that of fostering immigration from South America (including my friendly, working, pro-family but overall Democrat-voting neighbors) may be best explained by how each group is likely to vote.

That’s an easy one. Because they (or their families) know what communism is, and came here to escape it.

and this is why the Biden administration won’t let them into the country, but all who want to come from the direction of Mexico are welcome

This is why the Biden Rats will never help Cuba. There is nothing there for the Rats. Cubans are basically Republican voters. IMOD

Hopefully, RINOs are the only reason it isn’t ALL.

I once worked with a Cuban who could sing Ave Maria that could bring you to tears. He would do it at work.

The answer to the question is in the first sentence of this piece.

To paraphrase,”In 1959 Castro introduced Communism...”

And ever since tjhe country went down the shitter (as all Commie Nations eventually do) and Castro & friends got rich and richer.

Why Do Many Cubans Vote Republican?

Because they or their predecessors lived under what the Democrats want to force upon them here, and they didn't like it much.

that society evolved into a dictatorship

The society didn't "evolve". That implies incremental, organic development. It was the subject of a violent Revolution, the opposite of "development".

“Cubans in the U.S. associate Hillary with communism, they make a parallel between her and the Cuban government.”

Gee, I wonder why?

The Elian Gonzales Raid directly resulted in Al Gore’s defeat in 2000. Pretty sure they all still remember.

Hard to vote for someone wearing a Che shirt when your brother was killed by his death squads.

All those words could have been replaced with one photo - the photo of Clinton's soldiers, pointing their machine gun at the child who was hiding in the closet in Florida.
