To a very large extent that is the fact. I can state it from my own knowledge only in a limited way. but I have personally talked with the Cuban elevator operators in the hotel where I customarily stay in Miami. all of whom were Cuban refugees. I know that before the refugee problem arose. our own people ran these elevators. certain shifts with white people and others with colored. I know also from my observation in the hotel that positions such as maids. which were formerly filled by Negro women are now filled by Cuban women. I have no complaint at all about the quality of the service being rendered. However. the fact remains that large numbers of our own people have been displaced from positions of modest employment by this problem. which is not a local problem at all but a national problem. because it is under a national policy that we have accepted between 150.000 and 200.000 of these refugees. I understand that now somewhere between 100.000 and 150.000 are still in the Greater Miami area alone.
