The Hispanic influx in FL is completely different from the Hispanic influx in CA.
The Hispanics in FL aren’t Mexican.
Remember that when Miami was a run-down decaying beach resort in the 1960s, Cuban refugees came and built it up.
That is not so much the case now....Florida’s Hispanic immigrants/illegals are mostly non-Cuban...coming from South America and Domincan Rep. In agricultural areas, there are now a lot of Mexicans and Central Americans.
And, this is not including the US citizen Puerto Ricans, which have large populations in Central Florida
Yeah, I can see that.
The Hispanics in FL aren’t Mexican.
Uh...so what is causing all your crime in Miami?
