A lot of Cubans in the U.S. are descendants from supporters of Fulgencio Batista who was right-wing, pro-American dictator. They were from the elite class that was persecuted by the Communists and had their wealth removed.
The Republicans were traditionally harder on Cuba's communist regime because a lot of wealthy Americans also lost their Cuban holdings, therefore many Cuban Americans were brought up to support the Republicans.
