Leftists have yelled for years that President Trump was "anti-immigrant."
Well, with early voting in Florida, the immigrants have weighed in in Miami and are telling a different story.
According to Breitbart News:
Blue Miami-Dade county in Florida flipped from Democrat to Republican in early and mail-in voting combined Thursday afternoon, according to the latest election results.
The live update at 2:32 p.m. Eastern showed Republicans across the state of Florida leading Democrats in terms of early and mail-in voting combined, seeing 44.20 percent for Republicans — or 1,382,165 votes — to the Democrats’ 35.54 percent, or 1,111,890 votes.
Across the state, Republicans have the clear lead in early in-person voting, 54.14 percent to the Democrat’s 26.99 percent — a difference of roughly 374,00[0] votes. Democrats have the edge on mail-in votes, 42.29 percent to the GOP’s 36.35 percent — a difference of about 103,000 votes.
Perhaps what is most surprising is the development in traditionally blue Miami-Dade, which flipped to red Thursday afternoon, counting both early votes and mail-ins. The 2:32 p.m. ET results showed Republicans with 114,195 total votes in the county compared to 114,113 for Democrats. Republicans have the +17.1 percent advantage on early in-person voting, while Democrats have a 13.2 percent edge on mail-in votes.
That should baffle the left for years. After all, isn't Trump the bad guy who hates all immigrants? Didn't our fearless pope in Rome claim that Trump was "anti-life" for opposing illegal immigration?
Funny how the city of immigrants votes for Trump.
According to a study from George Mason University, citing 2018 data, Miami is 53% foreign born, compared to the rest of the country as a whole, which si 13% foreign born.

Oh, is it Nov 5th already? 😊👍
If you’ve lost Miami.....I guess Florida isn’t in play.
Not all are of Cuban descent, but they are the reason for the distinction. It’s more than problematic to lump everyone with lineage from Central/South America and carribbean is “hispanic”.
People who know personally what communism does to people are prone to distrust “democrats”. Even though the media wants to paint the right as “alt right nationalists”, people from former communist states know it’s the left who are not “liberals” or “progressives” but are a platform for socialism and Marxism.
I spend about 50% of my time there (not by choice). I can confidently say the city feels the closest of any I’ve been to in the USA like Mexico. That being said most of the inhabitants are from central and south america or the Caribbean. Majority of Uber drivers don’t speak English.
It’s a crazy place. Happy to hear they’re with Daddy Trump.
Democrats will be building the wall in no time.
I have several Cuban neighbors. They are patriotic as hell. And was stories to tell.
Under Trump, I bet Cuba will be free again! Via Cuba Libre!
The population and economy are dominated by the 1960 Cubans, and their USA born children and grandchildren.
In 1960, Cuba was the wealthiest country in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The 1960 Cuban Refugees were the professional class and the business owners of Cuba.
Many of those families trace their ancestors to Europe, and they have voted heavily Republican for three generations.
The 1980 to 2024 Cuban Refugees are mostly working class, and most of their ancestors are African or Caribbean.
They are heavily concentrated in metro New York City and other areas outside Miami-Dade County, and they vote heavily Democrat.
