I don't think that Cubans will turn their backs on Miami relatives, no, and I'm sure that individual Cubans are grateful for financial support they get from family members in the US. That doesn't mean that they have "bought and paid for" the right to tell their relatives in Cuba what to do. We just saw what happened when a close family was torn apart because of irreconcilable points of view about where and how to live. The issues in the Elian Gonzalez case could become a microcosm of a future time if (hopefully when) Cuba is free enough to make choices about its future.
