Thanks for the ping. Rubio has my vote and if he took paypal, he would have a few dollars from me. But seriously, Crist has not said word one about Haitian refugees.

No one begrudges the orphans or seriously injured folks coming here. But he has not said one word about hundreds of thousands granted green cards while 11+% Floridians are out of work. “America first” is about as much a part of his vocabulary as it is obama’s.

I used to work with farmworkers, and I can state this for a fact: low-skilled workers' wages plunge every time a new wave of immigrants comes in: I'm talking about farmwork, day labor, dishwasher, unskilled contruction, motel housekeeper and the like. US-born low-skill workers get pushed down by immigrants; older immigrants get pushed down by newer (and younger) immigrants. The injustice to the poor is severe.
