[Trump] has repatriated more than 1,600 Cubans in 2025, according to the Cuban government. That is about double the number of Cubans who were repatriated in 2024. And in the years that Mr. Trump has been president, he has sent more Cubans back than his three predecessors.

Families, businesses and communities that once felt removed from or immune to immigration enforcement now must face it head-on. Some Floridians worry that these deportations could stain the state’s proud Cuban identity, turning older immigrants against newer ones.

Good. They whole heatedly supported him.

I think the static is ~70% of Latinos voted for him. But I can guarantee it was closer to 99% of Cubans after listening to the radio in Miami.

    It was more like 50+ for latinos.
    But the gusanos specifically voted 68% for Trump

    origin. In particular, the electoral preferences of the Cuban community are often juxtaposed with those of other Hispanic groups, especially Puerto Ricans. With respect to nationality of place of origin, Cubans and Puerto Ricans represent the two largest subgroups within the state’s Hispanic population. Cubans in Florida number over 1.6 million (7.2% of the state’s population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and constitute a key voting bloc for the Republican Party. Puerto Ricans, meanwhile, number over 1.2 million (5.4% of the population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and represent the traditional voting base of the Democrats, although the 2024 election results suggest that the party is facing more competition with respect to this group of voters

    You do know someone posted a source that showed Latinos voted 68% for trump, right? So I wasn't puking those numbers "out my ass" as you so eloquently put it.

    as you so eloquently put it.

    That was the other guy, I posted the 68%comment from A REAL AND REPUTABLE SOURCE: Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University:*

    Use that and not "someone posted", that's not very convincing in an argument.
