Republicans in Florida ignoring the new majority - less Cuban and Republican

1. Tampa Cubans been here since 1880...

Tampa's population soared from 1000 to 16,000 in about a decade due to Cuban immigration to work in cigar factories. Some Spanish and Italians also. So, not only were Tampa's Cubans not fleeing Castro, its now the 3rd or 4th generation. And Tampa's Cuban population isn't seeing massive growth. The increase in Hispanic demographics is due to other Latinos, primarily Puerto Ricans and Colombians.

Miami wasn't even founded until the 20s, and didn't see a mass influx of Cubans until the early 60s... not that there weren't any, just not in big numbers.

Seriously, I have no idea where people get all their misinformation about Florida's Hispanic demographics. It seems most of it is pulled out of the ass of someone who has never been here, let alone met a Cuban-American or any other Latino.
And, I'll add that the Cuban Sandwich was a Tampa invention, not from Miami.
