Metro Orlando has a 33% Hispanic population, which includes Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, etc. Hardly what I'd call "ALL here."
Fact check before posting.
Also, why would you set up refugee camps for American citizens? And in Lake County???

It also becomes a grand opportunity if that human capital can be utilized. Orlando is used to very high growth rates and it can handle more people moving here for a better life.

Well, no skills, no money, no plan for when they get here, no English. That's refugee. And in Lake County because Orange is full. We can't take anymore.

I'm not getting the part where they're leaving their country.

I feel so bad for those people who moved from Miami to Orlando trying to get away from immigrants. Now they have to move to Ocala until the next immigrant wave takes over that town also.

I have a feeling Joey Falcon is the one that is gonna have to relocate to Lake County. I heard they speak English there. I'm not sure though how educated people are there. Maybe they know a lot of stuff about the Bible.

I've heard them themselves on WESH 2 refer to it as "their country" (PR). And how hard it is to leave their country to move to Orlando.

We're talking about 3 million+ people, many of whom want to re-locate because of economic conditions, to two areas of the country, one of which is the Orlando area. A large, at-risk and needy population. Anyone who was in Miami during the time of the Mariel boatlift knows what the impact can be.

It would be wise for Tallahassee to prepare to accommodate this in as orderly a fashion as possible, but I doubt that will happen. These are people who will need housing, jobs, assistance, etc.

When Haiti had its earthquake everybody freaked out here in Miami that we were gonna get flooded with Haitians. We didn't. Mariel was a very different thing because the Cuban government was sending criminals on purpose. Most criminals are not smart enough to relocate by themselves.

I don't think not gonna get worse than what it already is, economically speaking. You will get a good amount of hardworking people and then those who don't want to work most likely will go back to the island when they figure out that they can't milk the system.

Of course socially this could have an impact. Those who don't like hearing Spanish might be annoyed like many non-hispanic whites are when they visit Miami. If those immigrants grew up speaking Spanish they will probably not speak English in public. I don't. I speak Spanish all day long in Miami, Orlando, Ocala, Brooksville and I'm not gonna stop because it's just not natural for me to speak English among friends and family. In that case those people who don't agree with those cultural changes they might wanna move further North if you cannot afford the English speaking areas of Orlando.

Here read this, they are not refugees:

I thought you said the Puerto Ricans were the ignorant ones without education but it seems that maybe our education needs some reforms too, perhaps maps for everyone?

Well it's basically a third world country inside the US. We all know that.
