She Helped Elect Trump. Now She’s Speaking Out

Latinas for Trump co-founder, Cuban-American Senator Ileana Garcia of Florida, is speaking out against Trump immigration policies.

She took to X to say: “I'm afraid of someone stopping my son. This is not what we voted for.” She also warns that Trump immigration policies will cost the GOP the midterms. - Senator Ileana Garcia told The New York Times in an interview published today.

The Responses Are Coming Fast and Furious:

- Who did you think he'd be rounding up, Pendeja? You just thought it would be other people’s sons!

- Cupcake, you voted for this! You only regret it now because the racism and hate affecting you! Sit in your own racism and bigotry and roll around in the bed of hate you made.

- People are being brutalized, kidnapped, and murdered and her biggest concern is the midterms? GTFOH.

- She wanted Trump to deport Mexicans, Venezuelans and Haitians, not Cubans. Tough shit. No te hagas la pendeja, si no te diste cuenta eres una idiota. It is exactly what you voted for.

The Common Denominator

In 1989 I visited my best friend from high school who lives in Florida with his family. We traveled all over the state, including Key West and the Everglades.

In the Florida Everglades on our way to Tampa from Miami, there is a section called Alligator Alley. You can see alligators sunbathing on the side of the road. As they bask in the sun, if you take precautions, you can stop the car and take pictures of them. Which I did; I knew better than to get close to the banks of the Everglade waters.

This past Monday, I read a news report from Florida, where an 85-year-old woman who was walking her small dog near a pond by her house was killed when a 10-foot alligator dragged her into the water, after the alligator first attempted to take her dog.

The common denominator in most of these alligator attacks in Florida is that the victim was too close to the water, before being attacked. I feel sorry for the victim, but these incidents occur so often that I sometimes wonder if these Floridians don’t read the news about alligator attacks?

The Sea Has No Mercy

I just finished watching video footage of the Florida devastation, including homes toppled into the ocean after tropical storm Nicole landed in Florida yesterday.

I don't understand why, as is always the case, home owners are surprised when something like one of these catastrophic events happen, and their property is completely destroyed even though they have a beachfront property.

Don't they realize this is the one of the consequences of building a home next to the ocean? People need to get into their heads that global warming and climate change is real.
