When Ernesto Rodriguez of La Crosse was 24 years old, he left the only home he’d ever known: Cuba. He, along with 125,000 of his fellow Cubans, hopped on boats bound for the United States in 1980. They were part of the mass exodus known as the Mariel Boatlift, a rare moment when President Fidel Castro allowed residents to leave the island. And after he was sent to Fort McCoy, he moved in the Brandstetter family in Sparta, Wisconsin. Erne’s story is featured on the podcast, “WPR Reports: Uprooted.”

We wade into the heated debate over immigrants' impact on the labor market. When the number of workers in a city increases, does that take away jobs from the people who already live and work there? Does a surge of immigration hurt their wages? The debate within the field of economics often centers on Nobel-prize winner David Card's ground-breaking paper, "The Impact of the Mariel Boatlift on the Miami Labor Market." Today on the show: the fight over that paper, and what it tells us about the debate over immigration.

For a period of time in the 1960s, the Central Intelligence Agency was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, employer in the city of Miami. The CIA had set up a base of operations there, aimed primarily at undermining the regime of Cuban leader Fidel Castro. From those early days, writes historian Vince Houghton, the Cold War battle against communism shaped the city, which he says should rank among the world's great capitals of espionage. Houghton and co-author Eric Driggs, both Miami natives, chronicle the city's spooky history in their rolicking new book Covert City: The Cold War and the Making of Miami. Houghton spoke to Shane Harris about some of the colorful characters that span this decades-long story, why Miami has played such a pivotal role in the history of U.S. spying, and how the the Cuban intelligence service became one of the best in the world.

The Mariel Boatlift exodus has been called one of the U.S.'s most complex waves of immigration. It was named for the Cuban Port of Mariel, where more than 125,000 people emigrated from in 1980. You've likely heard about the large Cuban community that flourished in Miami. But did you know that nearly 15,000 Cuban refugees were sent to Fort McCoy, the U.S. Army base between Tomah and Sparta in southwest Wisconsin? Many settled in Madison. And many didn't talk about their experience, until now.  Maureen McCollum and Omar Granados tell their stories – and more – in an eight-part podcast. It's called WPR Reports: Uprooted.  You can find it wherever you get your podcasts (NPR link). All eight episodes are also on YouTube.  Also mentioned on the show: Madison Film Festival is August 26 Sponsored Interview: Scrum Day is Sept 14 Wanna talk to us about an episode?

Today we talk about the Cuban migration event that happened in the 1980s

In today's episode of This Day in Miami History, we discuss the Peruvian Havana Embassy Crisis of 1980, which began on April 1 and eventually led to the Mariel Boatlift. Matthew talks with Andrew Beck Grace, a co-host of NPR's "White Lies" podcast. Season 2 of that podcast focuses on Mariel and its significant aftereffects.NPR's White Lies Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/white-lies/id1462650519Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/this-day-in-miami-history-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Nearly 43 years ago, a mass immigration of Cubans travelled from Mariel Harbor near Havana to the United States, known as the Mariel Boatlift. The exodus, which happened over several months, saw more than 125,000 Cubans make the journey across the Florida Straits. One of those people was a six-year-old girl, Janet Diaz-Bonilla, who travelled with her parents towards a new life. But it was a journey that would impact not only Janet's life, but also, the fabric of her adopted homeland. While many have looked back on these journeys to freedom through art writing, Janet, a writer herself, decided to tell her story through liquid, releasing La Marielita to rum at the end of last year. To find out more, we talked to Janet about perception, legacy, and how liquid can really tell stories in a very new way.

David and Rachel finally get to the heart of the matter to discuss the Mariel Boatlift and its decades-long ramifications.

David and Rachel inch closer to the actual topic of the Mariel Boatlift by providing further context of what immigration to the U.S. from Cuba was like between 1959 and 1973, including freedom flights and a the chaotic Camarioca boatlift.

The story of the men on the roof didn't start with that prison takeover in 1991. It didn't start when they were detained in federal prisons. And it didn't start when the government made a secret list of their names in 1984. Instead, it started in the spring of 1980, with one of the largest refugee crises in American history: the Mariel Boatlift. Want to hear the next episode of White Lies a week before everyone else?

David and Rachel cover the historical and sociopolitical background of Cuba and Cuban-American relations in light of immigration to the United States by hundreds of thousands of people from Cuba during the latter half of the 20th century.

In early 1980, a city bus crashed into the Peruvian embassy in Havanna Cuba. Somehow this incident would lead to the mass exodus of over 100,000 Cubans mostly via small boats from the communist  Island to the democratic United States. But there were a lot a lot of anticedents that brought the peoples of the two nations to that point. Here to helps fill in some of those gaps is historian Victor Triay, author of Mariel Boatlift: A Cuban American Journey. To hear on Stitcher, click here! To hear on iTunes, click here!

Episode 4 of Detention By Design looks at the 1980 event that came to be known as the Mariel Boatlift and the turning point it marked for the U.S. immigration detention system. As 125,000 Cuban refugees landed in Florida, most spent only a day or two in a processing center - while Haitians were held for much longer. The lessons learned by the federal government during this often chaotic time would shape the years that followed.

In this episode, Shai and Roderick are back in Miami to discuss historical events and U.S. Immigration principals that would have enabled cult character Tony Montana, from Scarface, to achieve Green Card status in the U.S. The Immigration principles they will explore include the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 and political events that led to the Mariel Boatlift of 1980. Plus, our co-hosts debate which Al Pacino character was the most successful gangster of all time: Tony Montana or Michael Corleone?

A dual-language episode. First narrated in English and then in Spanish. The Spanish portion starts midway in the recording. In this story, the Green Plantain brings you a four-generation family Christmas story which begins with a backstory set in Cuba and the arrival of Cruz and Eusebio Herrera and their four children to the U.S. through the Mariel Boatlift. What was Christmas like on the island? How did they celebrate? What traditions have changed or remained in the United States? We hope you like this episode as much as I enjoyed writing about this familión, and Marilyn Marrero, one of their granddaughters and author of Just Like Mima's with Cuban memories and fifty recipes we can all relate to and enjoy. For me, it was the Trigo milkshake that reminded me of my mom making the tasty snack in Miami. ------- En esta historia, el Green Plantain les trae una historia navideña familiar de cuatro generaciones que comienza con una historia de fondo ambientada en Cuba y la llegada de Cruz y Eusebio Herrera y sus cuatro hijos a los Estados Unidos a través del Mariel Boatlift. ¿Cómo fue la Navidad en la isla? ¿Cómo celebraron? ¿Qué tradiciones han cambiado o permanecido en los Estados Unidos? Esperamos que les guste este episodio tanto como yo disfruté escribiendo sobre esta familia y Marilyn Marrero, una de sus nietas y autora de Just Like Mima's, con recuerdos cubanos y medio centenar de recetas con las que todos podemos relacionarnos y disfrutar. Para mí, fue el batido de Trigo lo que me recordó a mi madre haciendo la sabrosa merienda en Miami. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/susana-mueller/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/susana-mueller/support

This is a special, unedited, bilingual bonus episode – and one wild ride of a story. We are releasing it just in time for the feast day of St. Lazaro, Dec. 17th!It's the story of Heriberto Canela, who left Cuba during the Mariel Boatlift. His arrival in the United States was epic, but to add to that, he promised to return for his parents. So, after arriving in the States, he threw himself to the sea again. The near-death odyssey that ensued is detailed here straight from Heriberto himself, joined by his wife, and his son, actor, Jason Canela, who carries his dad's legacy forward. Pirates, puking, shots fired, betrayal, illness, being lost at sea, promise, hope, family – you name it, this story has it. Tune in for more!

We discuss Cuban history from a counter racist perspective. We attempt to put the recent Cuban protests in Cuba and The United States under the Context of Racism White Supremacy. We also study the organized criminal, political and social consequences of the Mariel Boatlift. We play clips of Neely Fuller Jr., Miami News Radio and NPR to add context.

We're back in the 1980s talking summer camps and trips, dancing, the film Scarface and the Mariel Boatlift.   To hear on Stitcher, click here! To hear on Apple Podcasts click here! To hear on Spotify, click here!

This episode we attempt to bring clarity to the overwhelming stress systematically placed upon Foundational United States  Black Classifieds(FUSBC). Systematic AntiBlack Mistreatment, disenfranchisement, AntiBlack Law Enforcement, Job Discrimination, Gentrification, Racial Dislocation, Environmental Racism and Immigrants and Refugees from 3rd World countries being dumped into already marginalized FUSBC communities. 1980 Mcduffie Riots is a case study of all these elements being mixed with an unhealthy boom of drugs, immigrant drug wars and guns. The result was Crime Bills and legislation which targeted exclusively FUSBC's. We use interviews from Neely Fuller Jr and Michelle Alexander to bring context.

Is this the dawn of  Dad Jokes? Joe and George take a look at a film neither had seen before this and yet they still managed to know just about every line in it. Like literally... just... about... every... line... in... it.   Links The Making of Jive Talk from Airplane! This clip has Jim Abrams with David and Jerry Zucker, the writers/directors, and Al White with Normal Gibbs, talking about how they worked out the language in that scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fkZdz4Vz10   The script for Zero Hour! Zero Hour! was released in 1957, and was the inspiration for Airplane!. By “inspiration,” I mean it took so much from it that the producers had to officially acquire the rights. This is the dialog script, with bolded lines where the dialog is identical between the two movies. In particular, the line: “The life of everybody aboard depends on just one thing: Finding someone back there who not only can fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.” was what prompted Abrams and the Zuckers’ to make Airplane!. http://www.rogermwilcox.com/zero_hour.html Mariel Boatlift https://www.nytimes.com/1980/05/11/archives/retarded-people-and-criminals-are-included-in-cuban-exodus-200.html Cuban flight  https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1980/08/17/three-jetliners-hijacked-to-cuba/d099faa4-4dec-4776-908a-2651a65f30b5/

In part 4 of the 5 part series, I discuss topics and actions that span about 25 years. Some of these include immigration laws, the Mariel Boatlift, Radio Marti, the Special Period, Wet Foot/Dry Foot, and Cuba shooting down 2 humanitarian assistance planes. Part 5 coming soon. Enjoy.

The Refugee Act of 1980 feels like a huge success...for a short amount of time. The first test of the act comes when Fidel Castro opens Cuba's borders (and Cuba's prisons) and hundreds of refugees arrive on Florida shores. The Mariel Boatlift Crisis forced the U.S. government to realize that not all asylum processing can happen abroad. Unfortunately, it also left the public with the impression that "Open arms and open hearts" leads only to crisis. 

Ereka Howard comes on the podcast to discuss her adoption journey. Ereka discusses how her biological mother and grandmother came to the United States from Cuba on the Mariel Boatlift. At birth, Ereka was placed in foster care and then was later adopted from a local adoption agency in Dallas, Texas. Ereka was reunited with her birth grandmother in college when she reached out to her through social media.

Almost forty years ago, during the sweltering summer of 1980, Fidel Castro declared that any Cubans desiring to leave the island of Cuba could do so, as long as someone outside of Cuba would come to the island and claim them. Between April and September of 1980, 1,600 vessels, commissioned by previously exiled Cubans, crossed the Florida Straits to claim more than 125,000 Cubans. The boats returned to the United States overloaded with precious cargo: Cuban families exiled from their homeland, searching for freedom. This is the story of one of those families. A story from the exiled south. Mariel intro music: Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos - Aurora en Pekín El Lector intro music: The Spam All Stars - Fiesta de los Feos

EP36 - Whether you have or haven't seen the 1983 film Scarface, you'll agree it has its place in pop culture. It's referenced in film, TV, and music; you might know lines from the movie ("Say hello to my little friend!"), and may have seen the infamous movie poster on a college dorm wall or two. But let's talk about how the film, which premiered only three years after the 1980 Mariel Boatlift, showed all Cuban political refugees as criminals. Art by Jeremy Ferris. New episodes released the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month. www.burstyourbubblepodcast.com

We're back in Las Vegas this week, as we cover our own "Sin City Scarface". Jose Vigoa was a Cuban born, Soviet trained badass that jumped a shrimp boat to America during the Mariel Boatlift in 1980. He then made his way to Las Vegas, where he became a drug kingpin, and years later took the Las Vegas strip by storm, by taking down some of the most prestigious casinos Sin City has to offer in the form of brazen armoured truck robberies, and broad day casino hiests. This was hands down one of our favorites, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Happy Holidays, and as always, Keep Creepin'.     truecrimeguys.com Facebook Social Media: @TrueCrimeGuys Patreon.com/TrueCrimeGuys STICKERS CREEPER MERCH

Born into a musical family, Ignacio Berroa was a first call session musician in his native Havana, Cuba, before emigrating to the US during the Mariel Boatlift. Shortly after his arrival in NY, Ignacio began a twelve year association with Dizzy Gillespie, which led to gigs with a who's who of jazz and Latin luminaries. Ignacio tells Joe about the advantages of growing up in Cuba; losing his mother at an early age; the agonies of a perfectionist outlook; navigating through marriages and divorces; and his lifelong love of baseball.

Alex Daoud , a native of Miami Beach, became a city commissioner in 1979 and then served three terms as mayor from 1985 to 1991, during the height of Miami's cocaine trade and Fidel Castro's infamous Mariel boatlift. After a fall from grace, he penned his first book, a riveting best seller, titled Sins of South Beach, The True Story of Corruption, Violence, Murder and the Making of Miami Beach.  In Sins of South Beach, Daoud offers an honest and unabashed account of his life and career, and warns of the intoxicating nature of political power. The autobiography focuses on Daoud’s contributions that propelled South Beach’s transformation from crime-ridden, slum-infested neighborhood into one of the world’s premier playgrounds. Daoud is not bashful about the seedy underside that fueled his administration, falling into a self-destructive pattern of behavior that permeated his political and personal life.

This week, Liar City welcomes a very special guest to the show -- Jesse from I Doubt it With Dollemore.  Join Brian and Jesse as they discuss the two immigration crises the world is currently facing, then tag along as they get into the Mariel Boatlift -- the largest wave of U.S. immigration that can be definitively traced back to one person and the inspiration for the hit movie Scarface. Follow Liar City on Twitter, then check out Jesse's show.   

In 1980, more than 100,000 Cubans left the island in a boatlift from Mariel harbour. Witness speaks to the writer, Mirta Ojito, about how she fled from communism with her family. Photo: Mirta (left) with her father and sister.
