You realise that Most Cubans in the US hate Castro's guts with a vengeance right?
The very wealthy are who fled Cuba, and in later years many who supported him realized their errors and fled.
After Fidel Castro gained power in Cuba a large number of Cubans went to live in the United States. These people developed a variety of different organizations. These anti-Castro organizations received considerable funding from right-wing figures such as Henry Luce, Claire Booth Luce, William Pawley, Carlos Prio and Roland Masferrer. It is also believed that some crime bosses who had obtained great profits from Cuba also funded these groups. This included Santo Trafficante, Sam Giancana and Carlos Marcello.
In 1962 and 1963 Alpha 66 launched several raids on Cuba. This included attacks on port installations and foreign shipping. Tony Cuesta and Eddie Bayo were both prominent figures in these attacks. Cuesta carried out raids on Cuba and was involved in the sinking of the Russian merchantman Baku. His activities were reported in Life Magazine in the spring of 1963.
Some members of Alpha 66 were also active in the Student Revolutionary Directorate (DRE). It had originally been established to protest against the rule of Fulgencio Batista. The DRE was opposed to Castro's communist views and many of its leaders fled to the United States. In 1962 Manual Salvat became the leader of the DRE. Those living in Miami received financial support from the Central Intelligence Agency.
Another important anti-Castro group was the Movement for the Recovery of the Revolution (MRR). Its leaders included Manuel Artime and Tony Varona. The MRR gained support from those who held strong anti-communist views. So also did JDGE, an organization headed by Carlos Prio. Those with more liberal views tended to favour Manolo Rey and the JURE party.
