What do Cuban-Americans in Houston think about Biden’s new policies toward the island?

The party of 10 was served with a wide variety of typical Cuban dishes at a lunch gathering last week, but there was no variation on their take on the topic under discussion.
 
Cuban American members of the Casa Cuba Houston social organization discuss new U.S. government policies that lifted restrictions imposed by the Trump administration on the Caribbean island, at the Rincon Criollo Cuban restaurant in Houston on May 17, 2022.

“We are all — all! — against Biden policies about Cuba,” said Gustavo Juan, one of the members of the social organization Casa Cuba Houston seated at the table in the Rincón Criollo restaurant discussing new measures the administration announced last week that lift restrictive policies implemented by the Trump administration.
 
“What can you expect from Obama II?” said Juan, noting that every one of the diners at the table was a Republican. While many Cubans are against loosening restrictions, others support the new measures or have mixed feelings over the clash between their ideological views and the practical considerations of the policies they see as positives for their relatives in the Caribbean country.
