 Clinton’s Florida Secret Weapon: New Puerto Rican Arrivals

The debt crisis has driven many Puerto Ricans to Central Florida—and changed the landscape of the archetypal battleground state.

Last Wednesday morning contained an unusual landmark in the endgame of the 2016 election season: the first time in months that Central Floridians could confidently buy a plantain without being hassled about their level of civic engagement.

Throughout the year, their region has been overrun with clipboard-grasping canvassers listening for the distinctively accented Spanish of native Puerto Ricans. While in most states registration drives focus on college campuses and African-American neighborhoods—the standard marketplaces where canvassers find non-registrants who skew Democratic—Florida has presented a distinct demographic opportunity. The center of the state, across several counties sprawling outward from Orlando, has been a destination for one of the most significant domestic diasporas in recent American history. The debt crisis that has been roiling Puerto Rico for the last two years has forced residents to flee the island in droves, with many settling in Florida’s Orange and Osceola counties.

“From senior citizens to 22-year-old college students, anybody who’s anybody is moving here from Puerto Rico,” Clyde Fasick, a student from the Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico working on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign in Osceola.

So basically they've come to foul another nest.

Or just continuing to foul the same nest.

Let's not forget that when Eric Holder was Deputy AG for Billy Jeff...he worked to get FALN tarrorists released from jail in order to help boost the vote for Hillary when she was running for Senate.

Despite the Clintons' repeated denials, there is evidence that the pardons were offered to the terrorists with Hillary Clinton's full knowledge. In the Oct. 4, 1999, issue of the New Republic, Jose Rivera, then a New York City Councilman, is quoted as saying that he personally approached Hillary on Aug. 9, 1999. He said he gave her a packet of information about the FALN members along with a personal letter asking her to "speak to the president and ask him to consider granting clemency" to them.

Two days later, on Aug. 11, President Clinton would offer pardons to the terrorists.

Yet there are those that still claim that the-more-the-merrier immigration helps the economy. When clearly, CLEARLY it is facilitating the socialist takeover of the country because most of the current crop of entrants support statist authoritarian political candidates as soon as they are able.

And if you think these folks would have voted for Rubio,  I've got some swampland there to sell you.
