Default How much time needed in MIA for Customs & Immigration?

I am returning from the Caribbean on the President's Day holiday (Feb.
21), changing planes in the early evening (8 PM) at Miami International
Airport. Scheduled time between flights is 80 minutes. I will have to
go through Customs and immigration, and am a U.S. citizen.

Is this enough time to be relaxed about not missing my connection?
(It's the last flight of the day for my destination.)

If you were an EU Citizen arriving in the EU, then Immigration and
Customs would normally take milliseconds. I have noticed, however, that
even for American citizens, getting back into their own Country is
sometimes a major undertaking so, if I were you, I wouldn't be too
relaxed about making the connection.
