It will be interesting to watch. A lot of Cubans have come to the US and made a lot of money - money they could use to fight for land that was their family's way back when. I know my friend and his brother are willing to get back what was taken away from their parents and grandparents.

As far as poor Cubans either in the US or still in Cuba, you're probably right, they wouldn't have the $$$ to fight.
