I also read that these Cubans are taking all the jobs in Florida that should go to our own young people. I hope you investigate this. why should we bring all these young men to America, while our young men are going over seas to fight and die. Let them stay in Cuba and fight for their country It really bothers me, so I hope you can do something about it. Good luck. (Closing Signature: J.M. Douglas)
