As a Cuban American, I know for a fact how we as a group discourage public money. We literally tell anyone that comes that the first thing they need to do is to get a job, any job; no handouts here. If there is a lazy one we let them know it is unacceptable and push them to get a job asap.
We show them examples of earlier generations all worked hard and acheived and that is a pretty good motivator. Lets be honest, Miami was no big shakes in the 60s and 70s..;-)
"Gig?" Dude you have no clue of what you speak of......
Jim, Living in Florida, you should of at least met a few Cubans and asked them why they came. 99% of the freedoms we have here, including this BBS would not be possible. The off-topic would definitely put a few friends in prison.... ;-(

sorry but NO
Miami in the 60-70's was a good place to live and work
BUT the effects of the invasion of a million cubans PLUS the illegals from other countrys that hide among them has been a disaster
for those of us who were here BC
unions were killed , and building craft standards took a chit
remember ANDREW , it was easy to date the homes by the amounts of damage
older union built homes were intact
later nonunion cuban built junk flew apart
crime went out of control
real wages DROPPED
and most of the people I grew up with moved [RAN AWAY}
and almost NO Americans move here now
and I have never heard of a single older cuban not collecting their UNEARNED
SS payments
while many cubans have used SBA loans and other Gov programs
to start a biz very very few will ever employ an American in it
MEDICARE FRAUD is a many industry here , guess who runs it
in fact we now lead the nation in all kinds of medical FRAUDS
with fake DOCTORS another major industry
we are now the POOREST major American city as a direct result of unrestricted immigration both legal and illegal
