FIU Cuba Poll, 2000 and 2007
*p < .05 All models control for survey year (period), gender, marital status, news language preference, relatives in Cuba, and household income. Model S2, with dummy variable for migration at age 12 or older, was not estimated for Mariels and New Cubans because of too few and zero cases of émigrés who uprooted when younger than 12, respectively
¹Early Exiles had been in the US on average for 42.4 years (SD: 3.7). The ages at migration ranged between less than1 and 42 years with a mean migration age of 20.4 years (SD: 11.1)
²Late Exiles had been in the US on average for 33.5 years (SD: 5.1). The ages at migration ranged between less than 1 and 54 years with a mean migration age of 27.9 years (SD: 12.8)
³Mariels had been in the US on average for 21.6 years (SD: 4.6). The ages at migration ranged between 10 and 66 years with a mean migration age of 35.6 (SD: 12.33)
⁴New Cubans had been in the US on average for 10 years (SD: 4.2). The ages at migration ranged between 21 and 74 years with a mean migration age of 41.6 (SD: 12.5)
