That's because many of the Hispanics in Miami are Cuban upper and upper middle class that fled Castro's Cuba. Most were already skilled, white Spaniards, and more importantly, possessed middle class values when they got here. Quite a contrast from many Mexicans and Central Americans who were campesinos and border town dwellers before moving here. Hence the disparity in socioeconomic levels.

A good example of this would be comparing 1959 Cuban Americans with the Marielitos of the early 80's. Quite a big difference.

Your comment might as well have asked us to compare apples with oranges.
WRONG!

If you do a study of the Hispanics in Miami, you would see that NOW ( 2000's ) Cubans are not the majority of hispanics.. its a nice blend of colombians, argentinians, CENTRAL AMERICANS, etc..

So again.. sorry but I disagree... Yes Cubans were the first big group but now they are not the majority.
