The federal spending cuts are certain to make the situation even worse. Some 16,000 refugee children have flooded Dade County schools since the Mariel exodus, requiring a $32 million addition to the education budget. Welfare rolls have increased by a third. Yet as a consequence of the federal cuts, 139 of the 176 county welfare caseworkers now ministering to the Marielitos...
