What Tony Wuersch ignores in trying to deny the unique significance
of emigration from Cuba is that 10% of Cuba's entire population
has left since Castro came to power, the highest proportion in
all of Latin America.

But statistics aren't the only indicator: it's fairly easy to
differentiate between large emigrations like Mexicans to the US
Southwest and Cubans to the US & Spain as to cause & motive,
& thus identify the unique character of flight from Cuba.
