...muestra de independencia ha sido bien recibida por muchos en la comunidad latina como se?al de que Mart?nez promover? intereses m?s all? de su compromiso con los cubanos de Miami. La Florida, a pesar de ser considerada la base de la conservadora comunidad Cubana, tiene quiz?s la comunidad latina m?s diversa de la naci?n, incluso mejicanos, puertorrique?os, centro y sur americanos que a menudo se encuentran en desacuerdo con las pol?ticas de inmigraci?n y educaci?n del presidente.
