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.
Or and hear me out here, he is presending them so they can be there to receive more freedom when we invade Cuba.

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.

And face persecution when they return. Their stupidity is boggling.
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.

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 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.

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
hmm. People thought the same thing about the covid antivaxxers dying in record numbers. It didn't seem to matter much 4 years later.

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.

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.

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.

You didn't think they were going to vote for a woman did you?
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.

Fuck 'em. Deport every last Trump-voting immigrant out. It's what they wanted, right? I only wish ICE would stop there.

Cubans loved Trump in South Florida....I was shocked to find that out
It's because the single issue that a lot of Cuban-Americans vote on is "fuck the Castros". Make the appropriate noises about fucking the Castros, and they'll ignore everything else. El Taco was pretty open about fucking everyone who wasn't Russia or a billionaire, so they heard "fuck the Castros" and ignored the "and you too".
Don't forget the Bay if Pigs fiasco was under a Democratic administration. Spanish language talk radio in Florida brings this up often....
It is also machismo. I would argue more so. Empathy is seen as a weakness by and large by the community.
I'm from the area and would occasionally listen to the talk radio. It was wild how hard they were trying to suck his dick universally. I never met a Cuban yet that wasn't 100% Republican no matter who.
