Palm Beach County, thought of as the winter playground for retired New Yorkers, is home to an estimated 190,000 Hispanics, up from about 140,000 in 2000, according to the U.S. Census. That is about 15 percent of the county's population.

Most of the Hispanics in Palm Beach County are Guatamalan (mainly Mayan, ie don't even speak Spanish) or Mexicans from the far south of that country. There are also plenty of Haitians, legal and illegal.

Most Palm Beach County "residents"/voters don't care as long as their yard work is done and their bed pans are cleaned. As my transplanted from New York/Open Borders father told me over Thanksgiving, "who else is going to push my wheelchair?"

And they would never even think of getting into their Cadillacs or Town Cars and driving from Palm Beach or Boca Raton over to places like Pahokee and Belle Glade - those towns may as well be in the Andromeda Galaxy as far as the retired NY'ers are concerned. These are people who consider driving up Florida's Turnpike to take the grandkids to Disney World as the equivalent of traveling through Indian Country in a covered wagon.
