Despite your obvious issues with Hispanic immigrants, they're not a majority in South Florida which makes your comments even more ridiculous.

The racial makeup of population of the Miami area [5,334,685] as of 2012:[27]

White: 70.3% [3,914,239]
White Non-Hispanic: 34.8% [1,937,939]
White Hispanic: 35.2% [1,976,300]
Black or African American (many from the Caribbean): 21% [1,075,174]
Native American: 0.3% [16,108]
Asian: 2.3% [125,564]; (0.7% Indian, 0.5% Chinese, 0.3% Filipino, 0.2% Vietnamese, 0.1% Korean, 0.1% Japanese, 0.4% Other Asian)
Pacific Islander: 0.0% [2,356]
Other races: 3.5% [197,183]
Two or more races: 2.5% [140,000]
Hispanic or Latino of any race were 41.6% [2,312,929] of the population

Ignore it, many people are nutz on the subject of race and ethnicity these days.

With that said, I don't wanna be part of South Florida, so I guess I'll have to move northward a tad.
