United States-Cuba policy has varied significantly during the five decades since the first waves of Cuban immigrants came to the United States. The disproportionate impact that the earliest immigrants had on US-Cuba relations has created a deep social, political and economic schism between this group and the later waves. Though these later migrants now constitute a "moderate majority' in South Florida, they nonetheless endure a double marginalization because of their alienation at both the state and community levels. I conclude that the 2008 transfer of power from Fidel Castro to Raúl Castro, combined with a reconfiguration of the power structure in south Florida to which President Obama seems poised to pander, signal that the much anticipated change in US-Cuba policy may not be forthcoming
