Cuba and Batista are like a special case...Cuba has strategic value to the US..the Mob was heavily tied to Cuba and then the us sanctions them and wonders why their economy falters...
Castro seized the assets of anybody connected with Batista i believe
at the time the CIA worked with the mob a lot and needed to please the mob more than the Cuban people
Democrats Have Unfavorable View of Immigrants – If They Vote Republican
despite all the political rhetoric, neither major political party in America can be reasonably described as “anti-immigration.”
Republicans tend to favor a more controlled immigration, while Democrats increasingly favor open borders type policies. The debate in America is always over “how much” – not whether there should be immigration at all. This is unique to America. According to polling from the Pew Research Center, U.S. conservatives have a more favorable view of immigrants and diversity than the European left.
Republicans aren't all that great either, because if they were, they would have enforced laws that make it illegal to hire a non citizen for jobs. Want this to stop, then you need to go to the source of why they are coming here, and it's because companies are able to hire them under the table. It doesn't help matters that they also tend to get welfare so they can keep wages artificially low.
Shame, the IRS has no problem with making sure people pay their taxes, but they don't do a good job making sure those tax dollars are being used responsibly. It's all too easy to put some unchecked woman in charge at the local welfare office where she can use her connections to get welfare for undocumented immigrants. And no one seems to want to investigate to see if she has ties to some apartment where the property manager is getting nice kickbacks from all the section 8 rent vouchers coming in.
You are misinformed. It has been the Republicans who have presented e-verify bills and the democrats have voted them down.
Under Trump several employers were caught hiring illegal aliens. I would be glad to provide the links for you if you need them. One of the problems is that many employers pay their illegal workers in cash and e-verify won't stop that.
By the way, they aren't undocumented immigrants they are illegal aliens.
What I find fascinating about immigration is these stories about people who “came here with a dime in their pockets and the shirt on their backs.”
Then somehow opened a restaurant or something and became a huge success story.
Like...where did they get the hundreds of thousands dollars it would take to open a business on LA or NYC, or pretty much any other big city in America? Most people born in America wouldn’t have the money to open a business of any kind.
I’m not anti-immigrant or anything, but I just always wondered about this. Where does all this money come from?
Yes. Because Cuba is an extremely poor country with a corrupt communist government. It's no surprise its expatriates in the US vote Republican.
The vast majority of Canadians, Europeans, and Australians, on the other hand, don't feel compelled to flee their wealthy, peaceful, well-functioning social democratic countries in the first place. And I'm willing to bet that a tiny fraction of immigrants from those countries (all liberal) vote Republican.
Democrats must be stupid, if they think people fleeing democrat socialism, are going to jump right on their bandwagon of democrat socialism.
They come here to be free. Not to be the property of government again.
