How A Surge In Puerto Rican Voters Is Changing Florida Politics
They may lean Democratic, but many —especially the newcomers —are 'up for grabs'
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa
A Puerto Rican flag is held by Miami residents at the Calle Ocho Festival in Miami. The road to political victory in Florida is not just a metaphor, it's a place: Interstate 4, the busy highway that cuts across the vote-heavy heart of the state from Tampa to Daytona Beach. And the I-4 corridor, as it's called, now runs through a swing-vote region undergoing significant demographic change. Puerto Ricans have been migrating by the thousands to the area — part of the largest exodus from their island territory to the mainland since World War II. They currently make up about 10 percent of Central Florida's population, and their numbers continue to grow.

Mas welfare ratones.
So transplants from a Socialist failure expect to start over here?
It is yahoo, so its most likely wild propaganda
As an I-4 corridor resident, I can say that there are more “Ricans” in Orlando than ever, and most of them are Dems because their families have always been Dems, but those who are here to work are becoming GOP, and there really isn’t any reason to leave the island if you don’t want to work, since the welfare there is just as good as the welfare here, and the weather isn’t any better.

No, they are waiting to know who will pay them the most to vote.
I have talked with one person who says their son can not get a teachers position in Okla. May be another reason, but I still don't think Okla. has a shortage.
Destroyed Virginia, might as well take out another RED state.

They are not coming here bot be Americans.
Cinco dinero and a chorizo sandwich!
Ricans’ are our version of Palestinians. Almost all are Dems, almost all are America hating leftists who want their “Isla” back.
Nothing good has come out for Americans by allowing the citizenship and voting rights....See the “wise a$$” Latina and Carlos Rangel as prime examples.
I like to be in America! O.K. by me in America! Ev’rything free in America....
The third-worldization is well underway.
They can vote on the mainland... they’re US citizens.
Florida has not been red for a long time. When they vote for a Republican it’s a big fat Rino who out liberals the liberal in the race.
