    The general Cuban-American attitude toward the embargo, especially among people who immigrated from the 80s onward and their children, are not as hard line as it's made out to be. Most Cuban immigrants after the 60s are better described as economic migrants than political exiles, but the public-facing leadership of the community that has the politician's ears is dominated by gusanos. Biden could lean on Cuban-Americans, especially in the business community (🤢), who desire more open relations with the island.
