[Trump] has repatriated more than 1,600 Cubans in 2025, according to the Cuban government. That is about double the number of Cubans who were repatriated in 2024. And in the years that Mr. Trump has been president, he has sent more Cubans back than his three predecessors.
Families, businesses and communities that once felt removed from or immune to immigration enforcement now must face it head-on. Some Floridians worry that these deportations could stain the state’s proud Cuban identity, turning older immigrants against newer ones.
____________________________
I feel nothing for these assholes plight. Their demographic have overwhelmingly voted for this. The problem is that ASS/ICE is not concentrating on floriduh.
They have always voted for this, Trump is not even the first one. It boggles the mind how many immigrants were pro Trump, I’m an immigrant and I had to listen to these shit stains argue against their own best interest, my reply was always why haven’t they self deported yet.
WATCH IT I WILL SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT TO SPITE THOSE OTHER IMMIGRANTS
OU OU OU, MY FOOT HURTS, PLEASE FEEL BAD FOR ME
Many of these Cubans and Cuban Americans voted Trump because they hate Cuba and communism. Their reward from the Trump administration is to be forcibly brought back to the place they hate.
Can the people who are deported actually vote?
As far as I know only US citizens can vote and they aren’t (yet) deported in significant numbers.
So it’s the old immigrants who are voting for newer one’s to be deported.
Many of these Cubans and Cuban Americans voted Trump because they hate Cuba and communism.
It’s always blown my mind that this crowd doesn’t understand what communism is. They just know they hate it.
Many of these folks are people that lost their plantation or were no longer allowed to be landlords because of communism. I feel like they have an inkling what communism is about. If all you are is a parasite, and communism weeds you out, you’re right to dislike communism, and the rest of the world is right to dislike you.
My mother was never a landlord in Cuba and she hates Comunism regardless. She blames the hardships of her youth and current family on the castros, which I agree with, as they let corruption run rampart and imprison/kill their own citizenry. Hell I can’t even post a picture of my cousin after he got out of forced military training (2 years ago) due to fears that the goberment may pay my family a visit.
She blames the hardships of her youth and current family on the castros, which I agree with, as they let corruption run rampart
You do not have any metrics of corruption in Cuba that can be reasonably believed, and neither does your mother, so you’re just handwaving the word “corruption” around without anything to back it up.
Same thing I’d say about your side of the argument. But I am the one here with family still in Cuba and they can still tell me their hardships. You will never sway someone onto comunism when that very same word has been used to extract wealth from them for decades.
I know I can’t convince your family, yet the people in Cuba majorly support the system and are aware that it’s primarily the embargo’s fault that people experience hardship. It’s hard to get statistics about Cuba in particular, but all socialist countries experience booms in inequality if socialism ends, as it happened all over the eastern block in the 90s. The only thing separating Cuba from becoming a new Haiti is communism.
Are you suggesting that corruption wasn’t an issue under Batista? Why do you blame communism but not the embargo thats designed to cripple an economy and force “hardships” for your mothers “hardships?”
No. I don’t blame comunism, it’s just another lie they got told to be exploited. The US embargo also has fault yes but in the end of the day one Cuban has to make the choice of how what they have gets distributed and I assure you none of the castros are skipping a meal. It’s not all black or white bloody hell.
thanks for elaborating.
I assure you none of the castros are skipping a meal.
No US president has ever missed a meal either. I guess the two systems have a lot in common.

Who you gonna believe? Theory, or your own lyin’ eyes?
Or and hear me out here, he is presending them so they can be there to receive more freedom when we invade Cuba.
Americans need liberating you say?
Please.
the kicker is that the immigrants were also plantation owners, landlords, the BOURGEOIS that the communists hate they just got mad because thier exploitations got removed.
And face persecution when they return. Their stupidity is boggling.
Mmmm, faces with guacamole saus!
Just a reminder that the orange shitstain’s Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, is Cuban American.
I’ll save you a click, but when it comes to pulling up the ladder behind himself, there may be none finer than Rubio:
Marco Antonio Rubio was born in 1971 in Miami, Florida. … His parents were Cubans who immigrated to the United States in 1956 during the regime of Fulgencio Batista, two and a half years before Fidel Castro ascended to power after the Cuban Revolution. … Rubio’s parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of Rubio’s birth. They were naturalized in 1975. Some relatives of Rubio’s were admitted to the U.S. as refugees.
Rubio’s maternal grandfather, Pedro Victor Garcia, immigrated to the U.S. legally in 1956, but returned to Cuba to find work in 1959. When in 1962 he fled communist Cuba and returned to the U.S. without a visa, he was detained as an undocumented immigrant and an immigration judge ordered him to be deported. But immigration officials reversed their decision later that day, and the deportation order was not enforced. Instead, Garcia was reclassified to the legal status of “parolee” that allowed him to stay in the U.S. He reapplied for permanent resident status in 1966 after the Cuban Adjustment Act passed, and his residency was approved.
And this is why I cringe whenever Rubio boasts about knowing Spanish or awkwardly hints at being bilingual. Care to tell the cameras why the fuck you’re bilingual in the first place, asshole??
You know, I realized after I wrote all that about Rubio that, under the new policies, Desi Arnaz would have been in line for deportation. No lie. Desi Arnaz (of I Love Lucy fame) was a Cuban-American who came from wealth, emigrated to the US with nothing, then made it big.
I don’t know if he ever got citizenship but he was uber-patriotic about his adopted home, and worked throughout WWII and a while afterward for the USO entertaining troops and getting starlets to visit wounded GIs in the hospital.
Unfortunately, later he was also arrested a couple of times for drunk and disorderly back in the 60s, at the height of his fame.
Desi fucking Arnaz. Everyone my age (I’m old) and plenty of others remember when he was literally iconic. There was never a bigger flag waver, never a better illustration of the now-long-gone “American Dream,” and he’d be the first to preach it.
But now they’d just deport him, without even letting him grab his ID to prove his legal status. Blows my goddamn mind.
Modern conservative would hate him for marrying a white woman.
MSM will never trying to out him as a foreigner, much like miss LINDSEY isnt getting outed, the gop needs him.
im actually surprised he dint change his name a little like the zodiac killer, ted cruz(from rafael cruz)
Holy shit, yeah, you’re right. He’s Cuban-(Canadian-)American too. Forgot about him entirely, which is always a happy moment.
it regularly flees to cancun to shed his skin when TEXAS gets extremely cold weather.
But then you have the tragedy of remembering he exists on occasion.
Good. They whole heatedly supported him.
I think the static is ~70% of Latinos voted for him. But I can guarantee it was closer to 99% of Cubans after listening to the radio in Miami.
They are getting what they voted for. I won’t shed a tear for those who supported the bastard. Those who didn’t be safe.
It was more like 50+ for latinos.
But the gusanos specifically voted 68% for Trump- Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University:*
origin. In particular, the electoral preferences of the Cuban community are often juxtaposed with those of other Hispanic groups, especially Puerto Ricans. With respect to nationality of place of origin, Cubans and Puerto Ricans represent the two largest subgroups within the state’s Hispanic population. Cubans in Florida number over 1.6 million (7.2% of the state’s population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and constitute a key voting bloc for the Republican Party. Puerto Ricans, meanwhile, number over 1.2 million (5.4% of the population) (U.S. Census Bureau & U.S. Department of Commerce, 2023a) and represent the traditional voting base of the Democrats, although the 2024 election results suggest that the party is facing more competition with respect to this group of voters
You do know someone posted a source that showed Latinos voted 68% for trump, right? So I wasn’t puking those numbers “out my ass” as you so eloquently put it.
Looks like you pulled those numbers out of your ass, and you also misspelled “statistic.”
Shocker I missed a single letter, not once but twice. And didn’t edit it.
Well, well, well. If it isn’t the ol’ leopard? Same order as last time my friend?
Fuck them.
Polls suggest that most Cuban American registered voters, who tend to be Republican, continue to support Mr. Trump…
Stupid hurts, no matter where you’re from.
This meme is so dishonest, at least in the context of immigration.
The promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants. What is happening is state-sponsored domestic terrorism, targeting of legal immigrants, and the wholesale disruption of communities.
What’s happening is not what people voted for, and they have every right to be pissed. (Which, judging by the 2025 elections, they very much are.)
And those of you who are ignoring these distinctions really need to STFU.
Hard disagree.
Anyone who believed (or believes) that they were going to focus only on “the bad ones” (a racist, xenophobic, and factually inaccurate trope in and of itself) is at best willfully ignorant, and at worst an overt racist, as well as an abject idiot to boot.
It was extremely obvious what the regime’s predilections were during orangeboi’s first stint. They used the federal government as an instrument of retribution the first time around too, only there were people around to stop it at that time, and they didn’t understand the levers of power enough to effectively use them to achieve their aims. Now they do, and they are. None of this is a mystery. Every fucking bit of this was eminently predictable. You are not allowed to be surprised by this.
And yes: the Cuban population of Florida absolutely fell for this idiocy hook, line, and sinker. It’s horrible that they’re being targeted, but it’s horrible that any immigrant population is being targeted. The Cuban diaspora gets absolutely zero additional sympathy from me past the baseline of humanistic dignity, specifically because they wanted this, and they categorically ignored what “this” is. This is 10/10 leopards eating faces.
Here here!
You have completely lost the plot here.
They may have thought they were voting for something other than this shit show but it was extremely obvious that nothing good could come from voting for Trump if you aren’t one of his friends.
This IS what people voted for, because they voted for this sack of shit and the project 2025 was written out well ahead of the elections.
They were lied to about many things, but they still voted for a lying liar and fucking should have known better.
This is everyone’s fault who voted for this orange shit sack
It was not particularly veiled. The level of hysteria around immigrants “eating the cats and the dogs” and other insane statements made very, very clear trump thought every nonwhite immigrant was an illegal criminal. He constantly accused legal immigrants of being illegals. He said asylum seekers were illegals.
The thing that should be surprising is that actual criminals seem to be targeted at a lower rate than ever before.
Gotta let the drug crisis keep going as a pretext for every other crack down. As well I bet he’s getting some kick backs from some of the cartels.
While I’m sure there’s some degree of corruption/collusion I think its also just the realities of quotas: if you get the same quota points for an armed human trafficker as you do a peaceful grandma, who are you going to pick next to deport? Who is going to take less time to pick up?
The quotas are actually one of the reasons protests are so effective as well. The more time they waste the worse the ICE agent’s numbers look.
The promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants.
Anyone who says this is fucking lying and anyone who believes it is a fucking idiot.
promise made was the mass deportation of criminal immigrants
Yes. That’s what is happening. Anyone brown is a criminal to these folks.
What is happening is state-sponsored domestic terrorism
Well, also yes. How else were they going to hit the numbers they promised.
Nothing they’re doing now is different than what was promised then. It’s just that people failed to understand what context the words were being spoken in. They ASSUMED the context wasn’t white nationalism. They were wrong.
They set a goal of 100m deportations. They said this before the elections. They did not hide it.
This idiot is deporting the people who got him elected. If we ever have elections again, that’s going to sting the Republican party.
Donald Trump just casually creating more American leftists than an entire generation of Democrats could ever hope to create.
Well that’s because Democrats (at the party level, anyways) would never want to create leftists.
the old guard DNC are gop-lite, and alot of moderates are of center right or “gop-lite themselves”
Precisely
If we ever have elections again, that’s going to sting the Republican party…
Yeah, about that.
“I love you, Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.” - Donald Trump
Funnily enough this is the second time he’s doing this to his own voters. Though, the first time was deportation to the afterlife via COVID.
hmm. People thought the same thing about the covid antivaxxers dying in record numbers. It didn’t seem to matter much 4 years later.
Because a ton of idiots were happy enough to stay home. Hope it works out for the protest non voters too. How’s this admin been on Palestine? Not what you wanted? Fucking weird!
People will always be happy to stay home. you might as well get mad at the sky for being blue, and Palestine is going about how i’d expect regardless of who’s in office. You think harris was suddenly gonna change face, put on a cape, and swoop in to protect all of the orphans from colonizers? I’d actually expect her and Europe to be on board with the colonizations plans had she won.
Yup, private entities (trump family) owning large swaths of land is clearly better.
Sincerely, fuck you.
You are describing colonialism which as i said is the same as i’d expect to go for a Harris administration
So fuck you too, you angry basement rat.
Sincerely.
Bich I’m outside! Lol. Love that i upset your sensibilities though. Projection is a good look on you.
You opened your argument with a misspelled insult. You’re definitely a 15yo basement rat.
venezuelans are next, and then Vietnamese and the rest of the south american republicans in florida, texas. of all the countries vietnam is doing better than the s american ones economically.
I think this one is a appropriate time for the use of Nelson ha haa 10 hours
You didn’t think they were going to vote for a woman did you?
Especially a black woman.
This is a sad but unfortunate truth in the Latin culture as a whole. When I lived in South Florida I met one from every single South and mid American country (except Peru) and the dudes are 100% tieing their masculinity to voting for a guy. And maybe about 50% of their wives just agree.
