特朗普的移民政策相关争议性广告引发了佛罗里达州众议员选举的波澜。共和党众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉萨尔发布了一则批评特朗普政府的广告，这一举动可能触动了其他共和党人的神经，同时也让她的民主党竞争对手获得了更多关注。
How a Provocative Ad on Trump and Immigration Stirred a Florida House Race Representative María Elvira Salazar, a Republican, ran an ad criticizing the Trump administration. It may have jolted other Republicans — and drawn attention to her Democratic opponent.
据萨拉萨尔本人解释，她在电视广告中站在白宫前，指责特朗普政府的移民管控措施“做得太过头”，还称一些曾投票给特朗普的西班牙裔选民如今感到“被背叛”，这样的举动其实并不出人意料。这位来自佛罗里达州的连任三届的共和党众议员此前数月也一直在表达类似观点。广告发布两周以来，萨拉萨尔坚称自己并未与总统决裂，只是在向总统发出预警，提醒他后续可能会出现麻烦。
To hear Representative María Elvira Salazar explain it, few should have been surprised to see her in a television ad standing in front of the White House, telling President Trump that his immigration crackdown had “gone too far” and that some Hispanics who had voted for him now felt “betrayed.”The three-term Republican congresswoman from Florida had been saying much of the same for months. Since releasing the ad two weeks ago, Ms. Salazar has insisted that she didn’t break with the president. She was simply warning him, she said, that trouble was on the horizon.
不过，萨拉萨尔的这则广告引发了强烈反响：它既激怒了特朗普及其盟友，或许也鼓舞了全美其他希望与政府严苛的移民管控政策保持距离的共和党候选人。
But Ms. Salazar’s ad struck a nerve, both angering Mr. Trump and his allies and perhaps emboldening other Republican candidates around the country hoping to distance themselves from the government’s crackdown on immigrants.
这则广告也凸显出：在得克萨斯州南部以外的地区，特朗普在西班牙裔选民中的支持率也大幅下滑。长期以来，南佛罗里达州的古巴裔保守派选民一直是共和党的坚实支持者，迈阿密-戴德县在近年来的全国性选举中也呈现出向右倾斜的趋势。
The ad underscored just how much Mr. Trump’s support has plummeted among Hispanic voters beyond places like South Texas. South Florida’s conservative Cuban Americans have long made the region Republican friendly, and Miami-Dade County swung to the political right in recent national elections.
然而特朗普政府实施的驱逐行动规模创下了历史纪录：数十年来一直定居美国的古巴老年男性被遣返回墨西哥后生计艰难，部分古巴人甚至被遣返回非洲。近期，西弗吉尼亚州和堪萨斯州的参议员也纷纷对驱逐无犯罪记录移民的行为以及美国移民和海关执法局的突击搜查行动提出批评。
But the Trump administration has deported a record number of Cubans. Older Cuban men who had lived in the United States for decades have been deported to Mexico, where they have struggled to get by. Some Cubans have been deported to Africa. Senators in West Virginia and Kansas have recently criticized the deportations of immigrants without a criminal record and Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.
