You are correct in saying that the drug business fueled the economy of Miami and built Miami. It actually continues to this very day, but it isn't just Columbians responsible for all of this. The drug business is made up of a lot of people from different nationalities, its a big web. There are Cubans, Mexicans, white and black Americans and so forth involved in this.

I only have to say that the topic of Cubans, Cuba or whatever word related to that cause me the same sensation like stepping on a cat poop with a naked foot. Makes me sick!

Yes, but my point is who started it? For the record I don't assume every Colombian is a drug dealer by any means. I'm just saying they built Miami to what it is now. I wish they could come over like Cubans freely. Miami would be a much better place IMO. They are less ignorant. Lets see if Obama keeps his word and lets them get the tourist visa like Chile. Funny thing is that Chileans can come over with that visa and it seems they decide not to. lol

Also, most Cuban-Americans vote Republican?

Also, any Cuban who gets to u.s. soil, gets u.s. citizenship?
Any Cuban that touches dry soil gets a green card, free college tuition , food stamps, and subsidized housing. Not even native born Americans get benefits like that. Then, they travel to Cuba to visit family and female friends.

Do you honestly believe this or are you just trolling?

Yes, it is insulting and ironic how they claim political asylum and the first chance they get they are back visiting Cuba. The system definitely has its flaws and is not equal for all immigrants. The Venezuelans should have the same rights of declaring political asylum but then again they will be back visiting Venezuela just like what the Cubans do.

They might not get it all but they sure do get a lot. A lot more than what the first Cubans that arrived got. But lets not forget that they pay taxes just like everyone else so they are contributing somewhat into the system.

They also get something to the tune of $8,000 in cash. They also get medicaid, whereas millions of Americans have to go without healthcare coverage. Sickening.

That's the BS that is disheartening. The USA knows nothing about taking care of home first. Just help other places out. smdh.
