IN Key West, Florida, a sign facing Cuba reads: “When the last Cuban leaves Cuba, please turn off the light.” Things actually happen the other way around: as Cubans find themselves without light and other essentials, they leave the island in droves. So far the focus has been on the refugees intercepted at sea and detained at Guantanamo Bay. We rarely hear about the roughly 30,000 Cubans who have landed in the U.S. this year.
Their experience can teach us a lesson about how to address social problems.
