I remember when Republicans did everything in their power to hep Hispanic refugees settle in America

[Tom Rinaldo]

They came to escape oppression. They came for a better life for their children. They came from Cuba. And Republicans could not be anymore welcoming than they were. And the children of those refugees prospered here in the land of the free...


"Rubio's maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959.[7] When he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. in 1962 without a visa,[8] he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported.[7][9] Immigration officials had a change of heart later that day, the deportation order was not enforced, and Garcia was given a legal status of "parolee" that allowed him to stay in the U.S.[10][11][12] Garcia re-applied for permanent resident status in 1966 following passage of the Cuban Adjustment Act, at which point his residency was approved.[10] Rubio enjoyed a close relationship with his grandfather during his childhood."

"Cruz's father was born and raised in Cuba. He left in 1957 to attend the University of Texas at Austin and obtained political asylum in the U.S. after his four-year student visa expired.[10] He earned Canadian citizenship in 1973[3] and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2005.[7][11][12]"

1. Rubio and Cruz made it in. They are in, so it's okay, actually better, to close the door.

Just another form of capitalism’s fundamental threat to democracy and goodwill: “I’ve got mine. That’s all that’s important. I got it because I worked hard and deserve it.”

2. When the Rethugs thought they could exploit Hispanic labor,...

... they were gung-ho to let them sneak through the border crossings.

Rethugs put them to work as housekeepers, maids, farm laborers, construction laborers, meat cutters and exploited them because they did not gain legal entry so they were ripe for all sorts of abuse and exploitation.

Then the Rethugs realized the ill treatment they dished out to Hispanics was about to backfire. Once they became legalized and naturalized US citizens the Hispanics then became a huge Demo voting block.

Now the Rethugs had to take action because the white vote was becoming marginalized at the ballot box the voting demographics of people of color were not favorable to the white supremacist Rethug Party so they outlawed entry of any Hispanics coming to America.

The white man Nazi Fascists are afraid people of color will dish out the same mean, restrictive, and horrific policies against the white man - as the white man dished out to people of color for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Social blow-back,.. your bomb you intended for others,.. detonates and explodes in your own lap when you least expect it.

There is a buy-bull saying,.. Treat others as you would like them to treat you. These Fascist Racist Theocratic Capitalists ignored and failed to subscribe to this simple and elementary creed. Demographics indicates they may soon suffer the consequences of their past actions against folks of color.

Don't piss in your neighbors well/drinking water,... and he likely won't piss or defecate in yours.

Rethugs can't get that through their thick racist,.. Fascist,.. faux Jesus loving Christian cement filled heads.

So they lie,.. cheat,.. and wantonly commit treason and treachery at the ballot box to grab at via a political Coup and Fascist Junta to retain their grip on power with the intentions and design to dismantle American Democracy,.. dismantle and destroy the middle class,.. and install a Banana Fascist Hyper-Capitalist Theocratic Oligarchic Republic.

3. Hispanics in general, or just Cubans?

4. Gee, now that you mention it, maybe it was just Cubans....

...who were FULLY welcomed.

I think the rest were only welcome as Nanny's and Golf Course employees
