We had new kids in school from Cuba, new neighbors with grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, moms, dad n the kids all living together..and working for their American Dream. I remember those days. Some people opened their arms, some did not with the same rhetoric still being spewed about migrants today. The old Cuban folks dreamed of going back and were here for just a little while. I still do not understand why they fled an authoritarian regime only to have some of their communities supporting TSF today.
