They're not exiles, lol, they fled the country.
Every country that's experienced a revolution has a small diaspora like this, a mish-mash of people who fled for various reasons. Perhaps they were aligned with the previous ruling regime. Perhaps they were rich and wanted to protect their wealth. Perhaps they were just afraid of what would happen.
There are Cubans and Venezuelans spread across the globe. China has Taiwan. My own family came to Canada as loyalists.
But when you go, you go. The problem with the Miami crowd is that some of them have never stopped meddling, with some of them going so far as to be funding or carrying out terror campaigns.
It's up to the people of a nation to determine their fate, not outsiders.

@zazzoo Hey! UEL here, too. One of my great (x6) grand uncles was executed by revolutionary forces. There's a picture of a box of his bones in the April 1975 National Geographic (his body was donated to a medical college after the execution and stayed there until the 1970s when he had a private family burial). His brother and their father came to Upper Canada with other Loyalists.
(If anyone can get their hands on a digital edition of that National Geographic for me, I'd appreciate it)
