Florida Dems Think Trump Deportations Will Earn Them Cuban Voters...Never Mind Those Pesky Details

While things have calmed somewhat regarding President Trump and immigration (I mean, his Sharpie pen on a hurricane map IS vastly important), Florida Democrats are trying to build the importance of that issue back up, and it's with an eye on the demographic map. Thinking they've found a wedge to finally strip away the dependable Cuban vote from the red team, Democratic pols and their pals in the press are loudly crowing about "the GOP deportations" to Cuba.

At issue is that President Trump has shown a willingness to send back some illegal residents to the island nation. Dems believe this is the very thing needed for 2020 traction within that voting block. Of course, The Miami Herald found an outraged voice to carry water on the Dems' behalf, an immigration lawyer. “South Florida should be up in arms,” bleated the barrister, who represents aliens in potential legal limbo.

Curiously, South Florida was not so enraged about it three years ago, when this deportation policy was drawn up. But as we have learned repeatedly in this entire immigration imbroglio, the actions of the prior administration, which never drew as much as an audible rebuke, have become moral outrages to shriek from the mountain tops -- or, given this is Florida, from the tops of the landfills. When President Obama separated families or placed minors in cages, I don't recall a single soul who declared it the end of our democracy. Today those same actions are proof of racism and declared concentration camps.

And these deportations of Cuban dissidents fall in line with that same practice in the media. The legislation that has altered the long-standing wet-foot/dry-foot immigration policy with Cuban migrants was put in place by President Barack Obama. .

Not one Cuban over 40 would consider switching their vote over this.

Now, younger Cubans? They are mostly liberal and hopeless like the rest of the youth in this nation.

oh, look, the Miami media is highly anti-Trump. If the Dems tell them to hype it, it’ll be hyped.

And they will fail.

Cubans, by and large, are law and order folks. They know Obama loved Castro. And they know Castro is evil.

Of course, there are some Cubans who drink the Demon Rat Kool-Aid. Gloria Estefan and her husband (can’t remember his name) even held a fundraiser for Obama at their home in Miami. Of course, they’re millionaires who will NEVER have to endure the socialist policies the Democrats promote.

Florida Cubanos are NOT who Democrats think they should be and therefore are. Reality ís a mental construct and is necessarily what the "thinker" wants it to be. There is a lot of disappointment in that world.
