Cuba, Fidel, and the Bloc

I know it is a little off topic, but at first I wanted to talk about Fidel's resignation. Fidel Castro was the one that held together Cuba as a socialist/communist state and his brother does not have nearly enough charisma nor strength to 'keep up the fight.' So I see the U.S. moving in quickly to buy up companies and become a power in the Caribbean island once again. I think they should have been a part of Cuba a long time ago when they first opened their doors, but that is a different story. The main issue here is all the Cubanos in Florida that have simply been waiting to 'go back home.' I have never been in agreed with the rich landowners who ran here to simply wait to take their land back from all that have suffered these times. These Latino voters have been a huge group that has had a lot of influence over Washington D.C. and their legislation on the issue of Cuba. There are reports that private land has been being set out and bought under the nose of the government and that they are simply waiting for it to collapse to be official. It will obviously be chaos for Cuba, but I think that the Latino bloc here will lose a very powerful and influential force that has been a little separated but still a component of the nexus.
Well, I guess it actually is not that far off from my blog topic in the end...

The way I think is all over the board and my mind jumps around from topic to topic, which brings me to the other thing I wanted to talk about is: in trying to unite the entire Latino community, what is to be done about view of 'native-origin' or allegiance? Many Latinos, like the wealthy Cubans, simply are waiting for better times back home or confused about their allegiance. So how can you include these people who are citizens, but see it as a simple convenience?
