Actually Cubans are the only hispanic group that votes mostly conservative. And LA and San Diego have more illegals per capita.

I live in Miami and the poorest areas of the county are not hispanic. They consist mostly of African Americans or Haitians. Some parts of the Little Havana area are poor with recently arrived immigrants but this area will soon be replaced by high priced condos. The poor of Miami will need to move elsewhere. If you've been here you would know many hispanics and Americans in Miami live well. This includes legal and illegal immigrants. It's comon to arrive in Miami on a tourist visa and not leave. We have a few Canadians and Europeans here that do this and many of the illegals from Latin America arrived this way. They didn't run across the TX border. The majority of hispanics in Miami are Cubans because the country is only 90 miles across the ocean (duh!). The Cuban community has lots of political clout because they vote and contribute lots of $$$ to both parties. They become US Citizens as soon as they are able to not to get gov assistance but to have the right to vote. By the way, to bring a Cuban relative to the US legally the sponsoring relative must prove they can afford to support this person and not make them a burden of the state. I believe this is the same for other legal immigrants. My gradmother came from Cuba and received social security benefits when she retired because she worked in this country. You can't get security benefits if you don't work legally. Also, please don't say all hispanics in Miami are Cuban because it's not true. It's the same way when people say all hispanics are Mexican. Hispanics are very diverse with different backgrounds and we don't all look the same. Don't generalize. Many immigrants in Miami have college degrees from their country or are here as legal international students attending our universities. Like many immigrants in the US, those hispanics who do not speak fluent English will work in the service industry (restaurants, hotels, retail, etc.). All the others will end up in an office job or open their own business. There are many successful hispanic owned businesses here. Also, it is a fact that in South Florida a majority of hispanic students continue on to college. Many will get a full or partial scholarship because they have the GPA and education to deserve it. In the southern part of the county you find the agricultural area which is mostly Mexican or Central American. Many of these immigrants are illegal and work in agriculture and landscaping (some might do construction). Many are transient and leave because Miami is too expensive. Of course, in that industry it's easy to find another one to quickly replace you. So, come to Miami and find out for yourself how we live, work and play before making such ignorant comments.

1) Cubans, after the Bay of Pigs, are almost all Republican.
2) You must not spend much time in either Poway or Compton
3) What does either have to do with free speech?

Miami poor??? Where did you get that? There is more money there per square foot than any other place I have been in my life.
It's a dangerous place though. To many maids flying around in Lamborghinis, Rolls and other million dollar cars. Never seen anything like it.

All three of those cities are full of illegals. Actually, I challenge you to find a major city in this country that isn't.

Well, LA and SD also have large, very poor enclaves of mexicans, so its not all so great.
