Adios, senorita!
You really come across as a fool with that statement.
I think ICE should pay that insolent little piece of trash a visit REAL soon. If she’s illegal, throw her out of the country.
Are you justifying this?
I was in Miami a few months ago, it felt like a foreign country. Seemed like everybody had an accent.
minorities will never treat majorities the way majorities treat minorities when majorities become the minority. Just ask Maxine.
my speakers may be off but it didn’t sound like a Cuban accent to me. a little further south - Puerto maybe?
Taco He’ll...as Mexican as McDonald’s is hamburgers...
Yup.
Oops He’ll is supposed to be Hell...
My daughter and son-in-law lived in Miami until a year ago. On my last visit I went to the Walmart in Miami just before you drove into the keys. Everyone was speaking Spanish, even the announcements over the loud speakers were in Spanish. I didn’t think I was in the US anymore.
These people are only hurting themselves not learning English. They are keeping themselves captive to the Miami area.
I gotta tell ya this is nothing new. Miami is like a foreign country. I lived there for 11 years. If you don’t speak Spanish you are screwed. Years and years ago myself and some friends went in a restaurant down on SW 8th street and we were ignored by the wait staff until I finally got ticked off and yelled at a waitress in Spanish to come to our table. I had to order for everybody.
