From the leopard ate my face files - trump supporting Miami rep wants protection for Cuban migrants

How it started:
Rep. Maria Salazar on why Trump’s message resonated with so many Hispanic voters:

continue to live under that protection they’ve enjoyed for decades? My suspicion is that they’ll learn that Orange Julius will treat them as just another bunch of (Hispanics) and they’ll find that they’ll get the same short shrift that Donald John gives to those unfortunate Latinos who come from the Dominican Republic or the Central American or South American.
