At Don Cafe Restaurant in suburban West Palm Beach, Latinos are reacting Wednesday to the election of Donald Trump as president.
Visitors stopping by for breakfast said they have serious concerns about Trump’s promise to build a wall on the Mexican border and potential for massive deportations.

Some local Cubans said Wednesday morning they believe there will be a reversal in the renewed relations with the Communist country.
“What I am most afraid of is a racism war because now things are going to be like Latinos versus North Americans. It’s going to be like the 1950s and 1960s where the KKK lived and thrived,” said Alberto Triana, an immigrant from Cuba. “I am very disappointed, I am disappointed in the support given to Donald Trump. Because the Cuba negotiations that Obama worked out, all that will be gone."
In Miami, Cafe Versailles was packed with people celebrating Trump's victory. People popped champagne bottles and rang bells when the results were announced early Wednesday morning.
“He’s my president and I’m very very happy for him,” said one woman. “Very, very proud to be an American today.”
“Everybody is so very happy,” said another Trump supporter.
Unlike his fellow Cubans, Triana was not celebrating and is most concerned for the renewed relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
"As a Cuban, don’t you think I feel for what’s going to happen on the island. because the negotiations Obama worked out, all that will be gone," Triana said.
Junior Hernandez of West Palm Beach disagrees, he think Trump will establish and enforce a better agreement that benefits Cubans on and off the island.
"I think that he wants to do business with Cuba and so he is going to put them where he needs to put them," Hernandez said.
Trump has argued against the current agreement, saying the deal President Barack Obama "signed is a very weak agreement. We get nothing. The people of Cuba get nothing, and I would do whatever is necessary to get a good agreement."
