Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper examines the political implications for the changing demographics of the Cuban American community. We find substantial evidence that attitudes of Cuban Americans have undergone significant changes driven largely by the introduction of post Mariel immigrants, with more progressive attitudes, into the community. We also find, however, that these dramatic changes have not yet been reflected at the ballot box, nor are they likely to be soon, owing to the distinct sociological and institutional barriers post-Mariel immigrants face. Post-Mariel immigrants are of lower socioeconomic status and, consequently, can less well afford the costs of political participation. Moreover, owing to the US Government’s unique immigration policy for Cubans, they have fewer incentives to work toward citizenship, given that they enjoy many of its privileges without its attendant costs.
