Cubans are as likely to be republicans as democrats. And the other large group, Puerto Rican’s have a whole different set of issues and arrive here as citizens. The ones I know do not see themselves as immigrants more like Americans moving between states. Of course, that is small sample of the ones I work with. They are often very familiar with the party and it’s history.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
