Cubans Introducing Other Cultures: A problem?

Tom Wolfe a best-selling American Author will be releasing a book that explores immigration to Miami. In an interview, Wolfe discussed why he chose to focus on Cuban Immigration. Miami is the only city in the U.S. to be comprised of 50 percent immigrants. "You have people from another country with a different language and a very different culture coming into Miami and dominating it politically through the voting machine," he said "Only in America could people from a foreign country with a foreign language and foreign culture establish themselves so quickly in 30 years."

However, many people see this establishment of culture as a threat to the “Anglo establishment.” Why is this? Well, not only have Cubans been extremely successful in the creation of what is Miami, but also they have created a large influx of other Latin immigrants. Miami is now becoming the place of destination for Nicaraguans, Hondurans, and educated Venezuelans whose leader idolizes Fidel Castro and has taken various approaches similar to Castro’s. Many have become upset that Miami is becoming the feeding ground for Latin immigrants, which could lead to an eventual Latin domination of all South Florida. Now why would this be bad? Well, because it would make it more difficult for native Floridians to be successful in this environment. This is why people have been pushing towards stricter immigration policies in the U.S. But then again, immigrants are doing no real harm, if anything they help stimulate the economy, politics, and they are taken out of unpleasant political situations in their native countries.
