Wise move and Welcome. I think they will be voting Republican.
Let's hope they vote GOP but in any case I can't blame them for coming.
They should. They are running out of places to run to.
Well then they're apparently smarter then the Jews in New York then !!!
I doubt the majority who go on to get citizenship, and then go on to vote, will vote Republican.
IF so I wish they would move to Palm Beach county instead of Miami Dade!

I don't know how long it will be before they're able to vote at all since they're here legally and have to follow rules which don't apply to others. I hope they'll vote conservative, too, but I still welcome them who are fleeing a coming muslim-led holocaust against them in Europe.
None the less I see little need, in general, for more immigrants. The USA has enough people, and I'm personally more interested in having lots of empty space than living in an India style ant-farm. Sure we COULD easily accomodate 1 billion Americans, but on a purely selfish level I don't want them here. So I will try to influence our gutless sellout Representatives to stop letting everyone move here who has some issue with their homeland.
As for their voting preferences the RIGHTWING party in France is more like the Democrats. The LEFTWING are out-and-out Socialists and proud of it. Jewish Americans vote overwhelmingly Democratic.
So perhaps they will vote Republican because they percieve the Republicans as being stronger against Islamofascism, but at the same time they will have to overcome a lot of the "Bush is Hitler" "Republicans are Fascists" political noise that is epidemic in Europe and France.
don't bet on it.
That seems unlikely given that Chirac passes as a conservative in France.
I would say these newcomers will probably be voting Democrat according to the past history of their voting patterns. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Not a chance. Have you already forgotten the 2000 and 2004 elections?
In addition, since they won't be citizens, that, by definition, means democrat votes.
My bet would be they will join the rest of the Jewish liberals and vote for the liks of Hillary Clinton.
Not a chance. 88% of US Jews vote Democrat and anti-Israel. Keep in mind, they're French.
Don't hold your breath. Look at the liberal Yankees who screwed up their home states beyond repair, then moved to SE Florida to repeat the same liberal stupidity.
