Why This Cuban American Billionaire Is Raising Millions for Undocumented Immigrants

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Mike Fernandez is no stranger to crossing party lines. A major Republican donor and influencer, he joined forces with the Obama administration on their new Cuba policy. But when the GOP nominated Donald Trump as their presidential candidate, the Cuban American billionaire officially changed his affiliation to Independent.

Fernandez could not abide by then-candidate Trump's immigration rhetoric, and now he won't play nice with the president's immigration policies. So he's made it his mission to help as many undocumented families as he can.

Fernandez recently put $1 million of his own funds, and has pledged $4 million more, to spearhead the Immigration Partnership & Coalition Fund. IMPAC Fund "will be focused towards fundraising for the defense of non-felon undocumented residents to protect families," states the organization's mission statement. "We recognize the importance that immigrants represent to the fiber of our community and its economic well-being."

The fund will give money to organizations that provide legal services to immigrants. He's enlisted some powerful support, including Miami Heat player Alonzo Mourning, renowned Miami Dade College president Eduardo Padrón and Emilio and Gloria Estefan.

We recently sat down with Fernandez at his palatial estate to ask what drives his work for immigrants and immigration reform. Before a helicopter landed to whisk him away to his next meeting, we spoke about why he's created a space for political and civic activism by putting his money behind his convictions. Below is a condensed version of our interview.

You're an extremely successful businessman by every metric. Why have you made immigration your cause?

When I'm asked what's my magic formula for building successful companies, I tell them, 'I live in a city where we have a crystal ball to see where the country is going.' So I focus on the Hispanic population and I build my businesses looking to where America is going to be.

Cuban Americans often get accused of not caring about immigration because they have benefited from an easy path to citizenship in this country. What fuels your advocacy?

Part of the reason is that we live in a bubble in Miami. But I feel obligated in a sense because of something that bothers me: Most Cuban Americans, who are here as immigrants, have very little empathy, and if they do, they don't show it towards others that have less than they do.

I don't get the point of this post.

Do you want to forum to comment on their theories for why a wealthy Latino wants more Latino immigration?

It's kind of self-evident. Cheap labor and increased power and political influence for people like him, same as always.

It should be clear to anyone paying attention that there is no real difference between Democrats and the GOP.

There are globalists, who occupy 90% + of both parties.

And there are nationalists, which many, maybe most, Roosh forum members are.

The nationalists can see that any "Republican" or "Democrat" will instantly sell out their party and voters if it gets them what they really want--open borders that enrich them and keep their power intact, with the vast majority of the population as their serfs.

I'd love to pretend that I'm illegal, gain access to the funds, and book an all-expense paid flesh tour into Southeast Asia. That would be pretty frickin sweet.

...

You're an extremely successful businessman by every metric. Why have you made immigration your cause?
.

Billionaire:
"Glad that you ask Nancy. You see supporting one of the globalist-approved causes like mass immigration, global warming, multiculturalism or vaccination of impoverished underfed third world babies - all of those gets you business. This is a logical approach. You invest some of your money and time, to get later rewarded with even more money by the big trillionaire families. I also like the cheap labor and pressure on the wage structure, which adds even more profits to my fast fortune."

Nancy shitlib reporter working for another billionaire:
"But why immigration of all causes?"

Billionaire:
"Because I had to pick something, that is believable. Other globalist causes are occupied by other vultures. I chose immigration, because I am Cuban and the moronic masses and you idiotic media would lap it."

Nancy:
"Oh - we lapped it up."

Billionaire:
"I am sure you would lap it all up Nancy, wouldn't you... Have you seen my art collection in my palatial estate?"





....

Ah - if only folk told the truth occasionally....

He makes it sound like an inevitability, that its a natural law to be that way.

To me, its a change of direction, averting where the country is heading

And in a way he is right - USA must look like Cuba in terms of ethnic makeup - that is the goal and the future.
