Jemele Hill leads mockery of Cuban musicians for supporting Trump

March 24, 2025 | | Print Article

Jemele Hill’s race-baiting post on the Trump administration’s latest move in restoring national sovereignty brought out the worst in the like-minded despite inconvenient facts about Hispanic voters.

As President Donald Trump’s White House return tamped down on the border crisis and saw to the yeoman’s work of mass deportations, leftists came out of the woodworks to conflate Hispanic communities with illegal aliens and lament the loss of cheap labor. This included journalist and former ESPN host Hill who sought to slight a Cuban music group’s MAGA support as the Biden administration’s “parole” program was revoked.

“Somebody check in with this Cuban singing group to see if they plan on doing a remix,” she posted Saturday with a clip of Los 3 de La Habana performing at a Trump rally in response to a report that the legal status of over 530,000 foreign nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela was being revoked.

The CHNV Parole program began under President Joe Biden in 2022 and was proven an “unmitigated disaster” by the House Judiciary Committee in Nov. 2024 as rampant fraud was discovered. Now, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has given CHNV “parolees” until April 24 to self-deport.

Much like Hill, a considerable number of responses showed a lack of understanding of the opinions of Hispanic voters when it came to issues of immigration as well as the rampant presumption that being Hispanic also meant being in the country illegally.

Meanwhile, based on data from their AP VoteCast, the Associated Press detailed, “In the November election, 7 in 10 Hispanic voters in Florida said they favored reducing the number of immigrants who were allowed to seek asylum in the U.S. when they arrived at the U.S. border…in line with Florida voters overall.”

“In 2024, Trump won not just Miami-Dade County but the central Florida counties of Seminole and Osceola, where many Venezuelans have immigrated and made inroads in heavily Puerto Rican areas of Pennsylvania,” continued the report. “He also flipped several South Texas border counties that were Democratic bastions for decades.”

Even a Wisconsin Trump supporter whose wife was being detained by ICE for overstaying her visa made clear, “I don’t regret the vote,” as he instead called on the president to clean up the inefficiencies in the immigration system as he and his spouse had already begun the process for a green card.

As for Los 3 de La Habana, they performed on the campaign trail and at the administration’s official Hispanic Inaugural Ball on Jan. 18 in Washington, D.C.

Other supporters of the president took to social media to slam Hill as the post reached around 2 million views, decrying the journalist and others for making a monolith out of the Hispanic community and lumping illegal aliens with legal citizens.
