Not all Florida Latinos think and vote alike. The various groups do not even necessarily like each other.

Supposedly, the Cubans are up in arms about Hillary and are making a big move towards Trump. What’s amzaing about the Cuban vote is that they get the word out in hours about anything they are doing and then go all out.They know what communism is and the want no part of it.

Watch how the Puerto Ricans in Florida vote. There have been a couple hundred thousand that have moved there since 2012 and they are registering to vote the day they arrive.

Should we be worried? Jennifer Griffin waas reporting that Democrats were pretty excited by the HUGE turnout of Hispanics in FL & NV??

Watch how the Puerto Ricans in Florida vote.
Interesting. This morning Whorealdo was on Kilmeade and friends, he said Florida will be close because of the influx of Puerto Ricans along the I-4 corridor. They're overwhelmingly Democrat, but he said that being most of them came from NY they do have some fondness for Trump. (Whorealdo in CYA mode?)

Am I to surmise that “other” includes Haitians? Who hate Cankles?

[Az Joe]

The island’s economy is in shambles. They either go with the one who builds the economy or the one who builds the government.

I fear they’ve been raised on government handouts, for generations, for too long to back away from the teat now.

[Az Joe]

Haitians and Cubans don’t like her. I’m afraid Puerto Ricans will go for her.

[ought-six]

PRs will vote overwhelmingly for Cankles, as she promises free stuff.

That's sort of what the son of Cuban immigrants told me used to be the case.

His dad and mom came here in the 1950's-60's and started a furniture making/upholstery business. Son is doing some amazing job building reproduction beautiful pieces.

The family has hired mostly Cubans looking to build a "better life for themselves and their families," however, more recent immigrants are big problems when it comes to working - they aren't fond of it, don't turn up on time or even turn up at all.

They let it be known, they come for the "great benefits they get from the government," whether or not they bother working!

Son who is now in charge, says he doesn't bother looking for immigrants, just people who are looking to learn a trade and make beautiful creations - sad he said but "that's not new immigrants."

You are absolutely correct.It's got to the point where some of the local politicians all the way up to the dc House are ready to stop the wet foot dry foot policy since the only one's coming our way these days are economic refugees not political which was the original intent of the policy. I know reps who are not only ready but actively trying to kill this off.

Good to hear this news.
