"Fuentes and his wife initially thought they would move to the U.S. somewhere out of Miami to “see and live the real American way and return to Cuba a few years later,” he said. Instead, they raised their two children in Kentucky and have successful careers without forsaking their roots."
I guess Miami isn't part of the real America.
But either way, Cubans have been moving out of Miami for a while. Formerly Cuban neighborhoods have given way to Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and Colombians. Miami is ever changing in demographically.
As a percentage, Louisville is very fast growing for Cubans. Lots of illegal (uncounted ones) too. There are very visible Cuban strips of retail, and one neighborhood is Cuban enough that it isn't Little Havana, but it definitely doesn't feel like Louisville, KY.
Interesting. I also want to know how Puerto Rican migrant patterns will change in the US, now that many more PRs will be coming to the mainland after the horrible damage the hurricane has done to the island of Puerto Rico.

Interesting point and I thought about that too! Wondering how they will choose cites, pretty sure it will be no where near the Coast.

They won't be choosing the coastal areas for sure. However, larger metros may be exempt due to the cultural and job opportunities there such as NYC. I think cities such as Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas etc. will see an uptick in these immigrants. The main factors will be jobs and cost of living.

I dont know much about Cuban immigration to Kentucky. But as for PRs, after the hurricane migration patterns may shift from Florida back to the Northeast (which is far less likely to get hurricanes compared to the coastal South, and when we do its no where near as damaging). Migration will likely shift back north to Pennsylvania, NJ, Virginia, Ohio, & Connecticut, even cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, DC, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, & Rochester will get some, but not Kentucky. I dont see PRs coming to Kentucky tho, no large pre-existing PR populations, average economy, cold weather, being that theres other places with similar conditions (cold weather, ok economy) with far larger PR populations.
With Cubans its different cuz there is no noticable Cuban communities anywhere outside of Florida (Miami/Tampa), so they either stick to Florida or take the chance of being a tiny minority in one of the other 49 states, while Ricans got plenty of options if they wana be around theyre own in large numbers Cubans dont.
