The crap that came to the US in the Mariel boat lift, during the Carter administration, were the worst criminals in Castro's prisons and Jimmy Carter let them all in. I could see that ilk being Maytee's (and Johnny's) relatives.
How do you know all this and put it all together? I guess I have
known dribs and drabs but never the sequencing you share here. I
feel so stupid.

No reason to feel stupid. I just happen to be interested in politics and history. Anybody can learn
A little bit of that Cuban Mafia connection was part of the plot in The Godfather II. As for making a connection - Maytee is Cuban and proud of it. Given her history I would just guess that her people were the lower class of criminals who came over here.
