Yep, that figures. You won't believe how many jobs down here are unavailable to English-only speakers. If Americans had realized what was going to happen 30 and 40 years after Castro took over they would have raised hell over the immigration policies and Cuban Readjustment Act back then. MIA ended up with a lot of displaced AA employees from Nashville and Raleigh-Durham who exercised their bumping rights. It kind of freaked them out when they got here and the majority of them moved to apartments and homes in Broward rather than live closer to MIA.
