This is an interesting paper
chronicling the ethnic cleansing of Miami, as seen from
the perspective of the black-run Miami Times from 1960 to 1985, as a million
immigrants poured into Miami-Dade County, which in 1960 had a population of
935,047. As the author notes:
Four
themes developed through the Times's editorials. The first was governmental
favoritism towards Hispanics. The second was alarm because of the sudden and
seemingly endless growth in population, with its attendant problems. The third
was acknowledgment of the Cubans' growing economic and political power and the
need to reckon with it. The fourth referred to underlying common interests
tempered by local political rivalry.
Hispanics now make up 65 percent of the population of the
county, with more than half of them being Cuban. 52% of the county
residents were born outside the United States, while 72% of the population
speaks a language other than English as their primary language.
