Hurricane Irma leaves these residents stranded. And many are elderly Hispanics.
Miami Herald ^ | September 12, 2017 | SYDNEY PEREIRA

Has the Miami Herald blamed Trump for this?

Where are the strong families that Latinos are supposed to have that would take care of their elderly? Why did they return to their government provided housing before it had been cleared for habitation? Why haven’t these long-time residents bothered to learn some English so they would be able to get the information they need to live in this country?

As the hurricane approached Florida, some liberals mocked the situation since the state voted for Trump. I wouldn’t put anything past the left.

Oh mfor God’s sake. I am so tired of whining hispanics.

i DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THEM

Call your family and ask them to help.

I will also mention that people of all stripes are helping each other in these hurricanes. So quit yer griping with MSM egging you on.

They’ve been programmed to blame their problems on “anglos.” Damn the people who split Americans into warring groups.

Plus, if they came from Cuba, power outages are considered normal.

Hispanics should file a class action lawsuit against Irma.

This is ridiculous. It is utter stupidity. They left the shelter on their own, police told them to wait until the building was inspected and the idiots thought they had to wait THERE. You can’t do much about stupidity

Give me a friggin' break.

This reads like a parody. Oh the humanity! They should go back to Cuba if you think it's any better there.

Seems we pay a lot for them to learn English. I don’t believe we’re getting a very good return on public education.

Articles like this conform why many newspapers are considered dinosaurs.

I got the gut feeling we aren’t talking about Cuban Hispanics....or even Mexican Hispanics.
