[Trump] has repatriated more than 1,600 Cubans in 2025, according to the Cuban government. That is about double the number of Cubans who were repatriated in 2024. And in the years that Mr. Trump has been president, he has sent more Cubans back than his three predecessors.
Families, businesses and communities that once felt removed from or immune to immigration enforcement now must face it head-on. Some Floridians worry that these deportations could stain the state’s proud Cuban identity, turning older immigrants against newer ones.

Same thing I’d say about your side of the argument. But I am the one here with family still in Cuba and they can still tell me their hardships. You will never sway someone onto comunism when that very same word has been used to extract wealth from them for decades.
I know I can’t convince your family, yet the people in Cuba majorly support the system and are aware that it’s primarily the embargo’s fault that people experience hardship. It’s hard to get statistics about Cuba in particular, but all socialist countries experience booms in inequality if socialism ends, as it happened all over the eastern block in the 90s. The only thing separating Cuba from becoming a new Haiti is communism.
