Fidel does not allow his people to leave, with the threat of punishment

This is the big one. Many countries have restrictions on people coming, for various reasons, but any country/govt that prevents people leaving knows perfectly well that it's doing something that people want to flee.

How much does it cost to stop being an American citizen? How many poor American people can afford that cost?

How is that relevant?

Lots of people in Miami consider themselves Cuban and are just waiting for the opportunity to go home and reclaim their family's birthright. Leaving a particular regime doesn't mean abandoning your heritage.
