12 Dec 2020 A Republican endorsement of the draft giveaway of green cards to Silicon Valley employers will sideline many Latino legal immigrants in GOP-led Florida, according to a report in the Miami Herald. “If you’re a Colombian who is one of the leading authorities in the world on climate change and you want to apply today to get a visa, [you’re] going to wait 10, 20 or even 30 years,” Ira Kurzban, a Miami immigration attorney, told the Miami Herald. The December 11 article is headlined “Latin American immigrants could face visa backlog under proposed changes in Congress.” President Donald Trump won Florida in November, partly because of a spike in support among Latinos.
