Gore asked for infinite recounts in Miami-Dade county because he won it by such an OVERWHEMING margin (and bear in mind that Miami is 70% hispanic, according to census data) To pretend that all the Cubans in Florida voted Republican is simply a fantasy.

You are mixing up quite a lot of geographic areas and groups in one post.

"Miami-Dade" also includes Miami Beach which is almost totally New York-Jewish-Liberal and Gay-South Beach-Liberal.

The meaningless catch-all name "Hispanic" includes everyone from Central Americans to Puerto Ricans who vote Democrat.

The Cuban American vote for Bush was 78%.

If it were not for a 78% Cuban American vote for Bush in Florida, Al Gore would be President of the United States today.

They turned out for Bush because of Elian, not because they generally vote Republican. And there in lies the problem, you just stated it perfectly when you said "the Cuban community".

I am totally against illegal immigration, and for now I'm against the amount of legal immigration we have. Legal immigration should be reduced to a trickle, until we stop using liberal/socialist phrases like, the "cuban community", the "hispanic community", the "asian community", the "black community", the "anglo community", the "arab community".

Liberals yap, yap, yap, about the commonality of man, then drive racial wedges as deeply as they can for their own political benefit. I watched C-Span2 the other day, La Raza was having a meeting discussing what politicans are expected to do for the "hispanic community". The "black community" is full swing into it's "Reparations" scam, all the while the crime statistics of both these "communities" are a disgrace. Ten acres and a mule has already been done. It's all a load, we are Balkanized, I don't like it, no argument put forth about ancient American history, involving mostly law abiding European immigrants that didn't get along with each other at a time when the economy was growing, or tripe about St. Patties Day, and German almost being our native language means beans about the problem at hand.

The problem at hand being that the more immigration we have, the more socialist we become, the more America is destroyed, the more the liberal/communist/socialist win. As long as the Democratic party can make gains using racial division, then immigration should be reduced to a bare trickle, and NOW, not next year. Europeans usually showed up on these shores knowing a trade, knowing how to read, and with the ability to add. The idea that we can have a massive influx of third world people some of whom have never seen a light switch or indoor plumbing, people who are expecting to GET theirs, which really means get YOURS, is ludicrous. Our hosipitals and schools are already failing, the system, the taxes are reaching the point they can't carry the load.

The rest of the world is in a twist over the amount of resources America requires to exist yet they don't stop to consider that we take in the largest number of immigrants of any other nation, and many nations combined. Every new immigrant manages to buy a clunker, needs air conditioning, electricity, water, etc. A "No Vacancy" sign should be put up until this mess is under control.
