Violent confrontations in Miami over Diaz-Balart's proposal to tighten travel + remittances

[flamingdem]

Cubans in Miami are not taking Diaz Balart's latest maneuver lying down. This video shows a group trying to deliver a protest letter to Diaz Balart's office meanwhile they are set upon by gusanos calling them Castro mules - the m m claims that all they want to do is carry TV sets to Cuba every week to make a buck but the women answer that they want to see their families. The proposal goes back to the Bush era ending family visits except for every 3 years, no exceptions for emergencies or humanitarian reasons.

1. Locusts, all.

Hopefully when the oldest die off there will be little desire from the offspring to continue the evil that they perpetuate.

2. It's already like that. In a survey 70% in the Miami area wanted to end restrictions

but the mafia has a vice grip on congress and the friendship of Debbie Wasserman Schultz :puke: too.

3. It's very bad news that the "exiles" have owned a Congressional Democrat.

They more or less own Kendrick Meeks, too, due to the fact they supported his mother, Carrie, when she was in Congress, and they appeared to sometimes give her help with Haiti issues. He seems loyal to the "exile" politicians now, like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, regardless of what the Democratic majority supports.

I read Debbie say once that she was loyal to Mario Diaz-Balart due to the fact they've been close friends since they both worked in the Florida House of Representitives together. It's Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, however, who seems to own her ass.

4. Those images are hysterical

... pretty soon we'll be seeing Rubio popping up and I wonder if Debbie will resist the Photo-Op? I sure hope she considers the "optics" with a better known pol..

5. Thanks for pointing that out / correcting me. I truly forgot. True that they're a loud minority...

...whose time cannot come soon enough.
