Puerto Rico’s economic crisis meant Jeffrey Rondon, 25, struggled to find even part-time work, so he recently joined the growing exodus from his Caribbean island to Florida. Now he holds a full-time restaurant job and something that could upend the 2016 presidential election — the right to vote in Florida, the biggest of all swing states.
“It’s important to vote and be heard — it’s a privilege,” said Rondon, who is one of thousands of Puerto Ricans who have moved to Florida in the past year.

Rondon will be a registered Democrat by 2016. So I say let the Puerto Ricans stay whee they are.

one fifth of the population of some central American country.... in NOW in the USA
the invasion is nearly complete”
“One-Fifth of El Salvador, Estimated One-Quarter of Mexico Now Living Inside USA”
as per my ORIGINAL REFERENCE!
Again nothing to do with Puerto Rico, which is neither Central American or a country.
Puerto Rico isn’t in Central America.
who says I wasn’t supposed to make comment about anything not strictly included in the article referenced in this thread???
OY!
one fifth of the population of some central American country.... in NOW in the USA

And what does have that to do with an article about U.S. citizens moving from Puerto Rico to Florida? A bunch of New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians move to North Carolina every year, but that has nothing to do with our illegal-alien problem, either.
U.S. citizens from anywhere in America that move to Florida could “upend the Florida vote in 2016.” Why did an article about Puerto Ricans moving to Central Florida make you think of how 25%+ of Salvadorans and Mexicans (both of whom are foreigners) now live in the U.S.?
The problem is all the Liberals moving to Florida from New York.
Florida and .....California
theyre still streaming into California for New York And New Joisey
the very real likelihood that THEY TOO will somehow.. manage...to VOTE.... in the upcoming elections.
So when you read about Wisconsinites or New Jerseyans moving to the Sunbelt and, naturally, registering to vote in their new home state, you immediately think of illegal aliens from Mexico or El Salvador sneaking past our southern border and maybe registering to vote? Okay then ....
For the record, I'm against illegal immigration. But for the Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, etc let's embrace them to USA and welcome them to GOP. By the way I love Mexican food.
