Hundreds of Migrants Are Turning Up in the Florida Keys
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2024
- Hundreds of Cuban migrants have been landing on the Florida shores by boat. These rafters are part of the largest mass exodus from the Island since Fidel Castro’s Revolution, a sign of Cuba’s deteriorating state. Although Cubans have historically received preferential treatment in the American immigration system, President Biden's new immigration rules threaten their chances to seek asylum in the U.S.

Those Cuban migrants you interviewed are what you would call hypocrites. As a Cuban American born and raised in Miami, I can tell you that the Cubans who actually made it here pretend to say they got here "legally" when many of them in fact came in the same way as the ones you see in the video. They just had the benefit of a different era of Cuban immigration policy.
I'm half Cuban true
One big difference is that the Cubans who came here illegal many years ago now align themselves with Republicans.
I was just thinking of that .
Thanks for being honest cause those same Cubans are the ones who are anti immigrant now.
Did the panima rangers kill in secret? Did the spics pretend to be soviet gorrilas to help the us anex latin america what do you mean we gotta migrate legal? If the us empire kills in secret?
I grew up in South Florida and have witnessed many times how Cubans demonstrate disdain towards other illegal immigrants even though they came to the US illegally. I find it to be irony that they are now receiving the same treatment as other illegal immigrants.
You don't find in funny Pres. Obama end the Wet foot. Dry foot policy stopping Cubans from coming to America legally?
Gusanos
America was founded on coming to ‘ America’ illegally! Who is right and who is wrong? This is why it hasn’t changed! This was how it was founded! Coming to it illegally and fighting and claiming what they can! This supposedly is what makes everyone free! Lol
HYPICRITES- = REBPUBLICANS
Deport, deport, deport!!!!
I will never understand the hypocrisy and lack of empathy that many older Cubans hold when it comes to other Cubans migrating to Florida the same way they did. Is like the moment they get a foot in they turn around and make it difficult for other Cubans. Shame.
That's humanity for you. People who become successful usually try to kick the ladder they came up with so others won't follow them to the same success they achieved.
Most try to assimilate white and pretend to be…. Damn shame.
There's generally a difference between the ones who left back then and the ones leaving now. The ones that left back then were wealthy and generally white in Cuba until the government started singling them out and they left, the ones arriving are more of mixed race. Probably has something to do with it
Immigrating & Migrating are two completely different things. Never conflate them.
@@lanefair2950 Nope, people who did emigrate back then you don't recognise any more and there was always migration. They are just afraid that the new one would work cheaper and harder as they do. And they know how hard and cheap they did work when they did arrive
I’m glad Cubans are being treated like ALL illegal immigrants that come here. They voted for it. They shouldn’t complain.
Cuba doesn't have elections.
US election. They voted for GOP. GOP hates immigration
No, they didnt

The good old, "close the door behind me" Cubans, it's gross how well they fit into half of America
They disgust me.
@@bellanoche6116 well most of america is pretty disgusting.
Isn’t it weird that the most conservative Hispanic immigrants benefited from the most lenient immigration laws?
Thats why i dont like the majority of cubans from florida theyre all like that. 😪
@@izziestevens5835 Yes, and no. There is on one side the fear that the new immigrants will take jobs but main reason Cubans in exile vote for Republicans is the politic against communist government in Cuba which they think make more pressure as Democrats
One time on a trip to cuba, was playing baseball on the beach, ended up talking to a dude about Cuban baseball players in the MLB, he ended up telling me that during baseball season, almost on a weekly basis there will be a player or two MIA, then later they find out that he boated over in the middle of the night to America. He ended off with more people have drowned than actually making it over, crazy to think about.
Cubans have been enjoying amnesty for decades, eventually its was going to end.
Any communist country is giving priority, Cuba was the only communist country for decades till Venezuela went crazy and adopted communist government, I had to wait ten years and come in legally, not all of us got here easy or illegal....
@@423alonso And somehow that makes it acceptable for them to come here illegally? What nation on the planet wants to accept immigrants who's very first act in the country is a crime? None.
When the soviet union fell apart and aid to cuba stopped . thats when it got bad and they started coming in large numbers ..
@@nobodyspecial4702 we don’t believe it’s a crime to flee tyranny, though you seem to want to create tyranny in the United States
@@ch19777 It is fine to flee tyranny, but it is a separate question that whether it is our obligation to accept them.
Cuban who made it in and want to lock the door for other really puzzle me.
That is common of immigrants. I've worked with hundreds and within a couple of years they typically say too many are coming in after them.
Ron DeSantis
If their Patriots who want freedom, I wish we could trade them for the woke loons!
Have mercy, sharks are living beings created by god. They need humanitarian aid!
You'd think Republicans would finance Cubans immigration statuses since Cuban Floridians vote and love trump and desantis
He says you apply to come here and go through the process, but what if your government is controlling the mail? Then you get arrested and thrown in jail. What options do they have?
Not our problems and we have way too many other larger domestic issues to take care of
@@MasterBlaster-nz3uv I’m agree with this guy! We have too many issues getting along as is to be taking on others problems. But our government see dollars signs with immigrants so they won’t do anything to change that.
That's what I INSTANTLY thought of. You are talking about a communist regime!!! One that, on your immigration forms, so what are you going to do, talk horrible about the Cuban gov!!?? That's as big of a risk as the shotty boats and WHY THEY chose the boats!!!!
Stay and fight to make your country a better place instead of running away like a coward maybe...
What a journey.. both sad and scary to think about how many of those little boats just disappear..
Not enough of them disappear.
No because you're still here 😂
@@ClarkKent-tg6ls That happens when you are born here.
You can't just go live in another country. Laws exist for a reason

Suddenly a Florida politician cares about the environment???????? SMFH!!
This guy in the video isn't the same as the goons you've been defaming.
LYING STUPID REPUBLICANS
Agreed - coral protection is a good thing, but she really had to prompt him before he addressed the human suffering aspect of all of this.
Environment called “migrant free?”.
It's important for tourism and thus brings in money. He doesn't care about the environment, he cares about the money his district gets from having said environment. Those boats do a lot of destruction because those are boat free zones. I get why you said it, you're right, but he still wants to preserve it for the money brought in.
That trip is brutal in a capable vessel. Can't imagine drifting at sea for days in a home built raft/boat.
Speaks of desperation.
I've seen a video on Instagram where some boaters encounter a vessel with about 10 of them and they said they had been out there for 12 days...12 days not knowing where your going is scary as hell.
That trip is brutal in a capable vessel? It’s a few hours in a regular new age boat. Are you just talking for the sake of talking ? Yes for sure the trip has to be horrible for one of those hand made boats , but the trip isn’t long at all on a capable boat.
@@justincraig398 hahaha!!! Right!! WTH?! I’ve sailed it a few times. Never taken more than 24hrs, typically 16hrs. The Gulf Stream pushes you straight to the Keys. 🙄
Actually, people do it with Jetskis
I’m PR and live in Florida. It’s heartbreaking sometimes how horrible Cubans who come to Florida act after a while here, regardless of how they came. I have never met a group of people more rude, pretentious and just outright hateful. No humility at all. And obviously not all so it doesn’t have to be said but here in Florida, its most of them. I wish we could be more united as Caribbeans, but the Florida Cubans make it impossible, especially with how they’re voting. And this isn’t even including how they talk about OTHER latino immigrants like Mexicans.
Communist/dictatorship country's seem to create very cold hearted cultures where there is very little good will to one another regardless of ethnicity or culture. Here in Australia our political leaders are all members of communist parties and have been for a long time. The road to communism is long, slow and steady, it relies on the culture to be unaware of it's presence as it gains fruition.
It's a shame to see Puerto Ricans travel to Havana, participate in communist marches with Diaz-Canel while Cubans in Cuba suffer under that communist dictatorship. Dos alas de la misma paloma? Q va...
@@climber222 The heat has fried your brain Aussie. Coal and oil Barron's run your government.
American Cubans are the right wingers of Cuba in exile.
I mean yeah. The Cubans who came to America as the right wingers of Cuba in exile. Of course they have all the nasty right wing views. Contempt for the poor, immigrants, literally anyone who isn't them.
Yes!! And they think they’re more superior than anyone else. Government need to stop giving them money and deport as well. Remove their benefits. You’ll see how quickly they will humble themselves
Funny how there's little mention of Haitians that are going through the same thing except hardly any get a chance to stay in America while waiting on their case.
They aren’t helping the republican vote of course
how is it funny? Haitians never had the privilege that Cubans had.
@@AC-kf2ky because they are blacks
Who would YOU rather let into Miami? A Cuban with friends and family and a culture to thrive in, or an illiterate, violent Haitian who wants to sell drugs, rob people and leave voodoo fetishes in your graveyards and cast spells on people? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
@@misterwhipple2870 the DNA of haitian is so violent , their grant parents killed so much whites with savage manner, the haitian in general is impulsive
My brother-in law migrated from Great Britain about 10 years ago. Cost him thousands to do so and took him years. Kind of funny to ask a poor person to get a lifetimes worth of wages to try and get here legally.
The Feds don't charge for Visas. What did he spend all that on besides plane tickets?
@@samsonsoturian6013 Anyone who isn't lying knows you need a substantial amount of capital to immigrate and stay in America legally.
@@spikespiegel4928 There are no fees to getting a US Visa. Plane tickets are expensive. Coyotes are expensive. But you're in danger of getting doxxed and having your tongue ripped out if you say immigrating legally is expense.
@@samsonsoturian6013 hmm you're either lying or grossly misinformed to put it lightly. There are many fees you have to pay to apply for a immigrant visa to the US. It's $300+ just to file the immigration petition/application, outside of lawyer fees (you def need one), biometric fees, postage, travel for interviews at an embassy.
@@samsonsoturian6013 you are VERY misinformed. I have a fees just to renew my work permit munder DACA. Doing it the "legal" way is very costly and time comsuming. Something people in those countries DON'T have.
They are coming to a country to is also a the brink of collapse
What makes you think america is collapsing?
Cubans aren’t the only one showing up at the keys, just saying.
Just what America needs, we can't even take care of our own.
that's a feature, not a bug.
You could easily take care of your own, but you're programmed to reject any efforts to do so as communism. Quite stupid really.
Exactly!
Y’all never have and y’all just gave billions to Ukraine like a sugar daddy that gets no sugar
America’s sanctions and foreign policies meddling across Latin America and other countries for decades have played a role in the chaos and civil unrest these countries are facing. Blame your elected officials for the decisions that they make that impact these people fleeing untenable situations.
@@amimi92 BS
keeping digging into the story, there was a policy change in Cuba that accelerated the immigration. That part of the story needs to be included
vice never reports the whole story
At 9:00 the Cuban man says because Obama removed the wet foot dry foot policy
You can trust me, i always report the whole....
what’s the policy change? don’t just say things to sound smart
That’s emigration, not immigration, short bus... please know the difference, and how it applies.
Honestly, I feel so grateful for being born in Canada. First generation Canadian. I did nothing to secure my own safety. Nothing.
I don't live in Canada, but I live in a border town across from Sarnia, Ontario. A few friends I have over the River have been saying that the Canadian Government is becoming Tyrannical
I guess your parents moved there legally.
@@davidz3879 It doesn't matter, they still infect our culture
I'm grateful to be of puerto rican descent. The fact that my family had the privilege of coming here legally with no issues is something I will never stop appreciating.

As long as it keeps the communist Cuban government in a state of isolated embargo. Worth it.
-American state
😂😂😂
@@Praisethesunsonthere is no real embargo. Most of the food Cubans eat comes from trading with the USA.
It’s funny how As a republican, he’s all the sudden really concerned with the environment. He’s so worried about the environment once migrants are showing up but I don’t remember anything about migraines destroying coral. I think they’re terrible arguments.
A argument because they're an immigrant they can break laws and trash the ocean makes much more sense 🙄
You're obviously not from Florida. You should do you're research on Gov. DeSantis he gave 3.5 billion on environmental projects in Florida this year Everglades restoration, Biscayne Bay restoration, mosquitoe lagoon restoration and he's been addressing water quality problems here in Florida. This is not his first time his administration has given money for environmental projects here in Florida. Also these abandoned migrant boats become navigation hazards especially for boats traveling at night. Also these boats litter the South Florida coast which cost Florida tax payers a lot of money to salvage and remove them. These migrant boats also leak oil and gas damaging the coral and environment.
@@twinbee13monsterhunter yea but does nothing about the way the cannals from nasa fucked our ecosystem and continue to do so.
@@twinbee13monsterhunter ...Except for the cruise ship industry. Key West voted away the industry because sediment was burying the reef. DeSantis overturned our democratic process
@J Miller The key west port was never redredged the key west port was already a deep water port. So their was no sediment destroying the reef. The locals we're concerned about the swarm of tourists from these cruise ships with multiple ships docking causing grid lock in the community. The locals wanted to limit the amount of cruise ships also they wanted enforcement on environmental guidelines for any clean up for any pollution. For possible oil, gas or sewage discharges.Yes, I did not agree with this decision because the locals voted against it and the Gov.overruled them. But all the Cruise ships we're doing was resuming normal operations in key west after covid restrictions.
i read a novel years ago called, Cataclysm. It was about migration. Since a hand full of nations control and hoard the world's resources, huge masses of humans from poor and lawless countries begin to crowd their borders in a bid to establish residency in the wealthier countries. It becomes a full blown crises that results in a horrible war. This is definitely where we are headed. And like with the national debt we continue to kick the can down the road hoping that the next generation will have to bare the brunt of the inevitable disaster.
Might makes right, why should Africa have kept their natural resources? they did not have the means to control their own land, and they didn't even know how to use their vast natural resources, if the Africans had progressed beyond the Europeans and came out on top, let me tell you, they would have subjugated Europe and stolen their natural resources just the same. If not the Europeans, then the Asians or anybody else in need of scarce natural resources and have more power than the Africans would have taken it.
Africa does not have much excuse for it's condition today, we've sent a ridiculous amount of foreign aid to that continent and yet still it is arguably the worst place to live in the world, Africa under European Imperialism is something I'd bet most Africans today would be fine with, because it'd atleast ensure that they won't get macheted on their way to work at slave wages while starving all the time, at least it'd ensure some semblance of law and order.
@@yesyes-om1po all of that is quite obvious, sir. humans are, above all, consumers. Europe paid a very high price in order to satisfy its bottomless appetites in the form of war and mass destruction as they began to consumer one another in a bid for ultimate Empire in their own personal Game of Thrones. I am no fan of morality. We are what we are. Nevertheless there is, as Sting said, one world not three....., as for the hardships abroad..., 'it may seem a million miles away, but it gets a little closer everyday....,'
@@paradoxward2533 Europe's wars had some meaning, some sort of goal and something to look forward to in the end irrespective of the outcome. Africa's wars have been results of petty infighting, or religious disputes, corruption. They have more civil wars than the late Roman Empire did, and that is a pretty impressive feat to beat.
In spite of the mass destruction seen in WW2, Europe rebuilt itself rather quickly and surprisingly cost effectively, atp we've given Africa enough foreign aid to rebuild war torn Europe 10x over.
Africa's situation is mostly of culture and lack of trust, and of course the ridiculous amount of corruption.
More like a handful of nations have a system of government that is efficient and people-driven, and have a culture of justice, freedom, curiosity, and discipline and the people have the perseverance enough to put in the hard work in studying and mastering the sciences and mathematics and other crafts. Which then allows these countries to invent new technologies that give them an insane competitive advantage in all types of industries. This competitive advantage makes them super rich. To win in life, you do not need to be 100 times better than your competitor, you only need to be 10% better and you will win. And the winner usually takes majority of the customers/money/opportunities.
Poor countries need to take ownership and responsibility for their condition. It's about the software of a people/country; their culture, governance systems, justice system, freedoms and rights, economics systems, values etc. Stop blaming the rich countries.
@@gabiesanchez8943 thank you! So sad to see so many comments on here acting like these people should just be let in without question, like would you let random people in your home? Stupidity is staggering these days thanks to mainstream media & college.
No mention of a 60 year economic embargo on an island nation. WTF
It no true economic embargo going on with Cuba. It just the United States not trading with them all the other countries in the world can free trade and travel with Cuba.
@@tombanks8012 you must have an embargo on facts.
Cuba socialism has fail it people. You want blame America for that. I am saying Cuba is free to trade with any other countries in the world and people from all over the world is free to travel to Cuba.
@@tombanks8012 do some research you parrot.
I find it peculiar how differently Haitian migrants are treated, i.e. chased on horseback with bullwhips, manhandled, etc.
Saw one of these boats washed up on the beach in Cancun. The side of the boat was made with sheet metal. Pretty impressive that it floated tbh
It's what you get when skilled workers have zero money but still got to get stuff done.
Good they can stay there
Many Cubans are very innovative people. They are forced to be.
If you get the opportunity to see any videos touring Cuba this is obvious. Many citizens are
driving vintage cars from the 50s and 60s.
They have no access to parts for these older cars. Tariffs on parts and on new cars is the reason.
These facts should prove how innovative they are. These cars are still running.
The sad part of all this is all the people dangerously coming here and taking chances on their lives will soon find out they are migrating to a country if Baden has his way, will soon be as bad and as dangerous as what they are fleeing from. Fortunately they have the U.S. to migrate to. The $60,000.dollar question is where do you go from here?
I had a Cuban working with me in South Florida say to me, You are not American, you are Cuban. You make many things by hand.
@@CorbinAce they can do it the right way....idont think they would like haitians and dominicans coming to their spot dont even let me get started is mexico was next to them
Ive built simple boats like this on smaller skills, didnt take much to learn how either. Once you have the material, tool and time.
Takes determinmation and strength to cross the sea, which is respectable.
End the Cuban embargo.
To end the embargo, you first have to pay for the businesses and properties that you confiscated during the regime.
We'll do that after we hang Castro
Yeah, that were ruled in a right-wing, white Fascist elites dictatorship. That only favored white Cubans above black, Mestizo’s, and other dark Cubans. White cuban exiles expecting reparations now.
Give seized property back and embargo is lifted, problem solved...
@@superatendedordeb0lud0s34 what about the pillaging who’s paying for that?
Few, if any, of those people qualify for asylum.
As someone who was married to a Nicaraguan and shares a child with them, I always wondered why only the Cubans got special treatment. Good to see that change made. My ex wifes family spent a decent amount of money to get here. The same rules should apply to everyone.
My exact same thoughts ! Florida is full of Cubans so it makes sense but still bs compared to the Texas border
It was meant to spit in Castros face.
The thing is, immigration is a lot TIGHTER than it used to be. Petitioning for your spouse was about a done deal in six months decades ago. I married in 2017 and applied half a year later and the petition will still take another 3 years. Thousands of dollars paid to an attorney and thousands of dollars paid to USCIS. Why are we paying more and the wait time is only getting worse? Back then it wasn’t too expensive and some people got their residencies in a year or less.
Find out what asylum means.
Had to due with Fidel Castro's murderous, violent revolution, and allowing the Soviets to put a nuclear missile in their country aimed right at the US.
Wait I thought republicans told me Biden has a open border
no, biden has even kept title 42.

@@godfathaofyo But the wall was built? Haha Wtf geez. They are getting sent back because Trumps Covid title 42 law still effective. It’s explaining to you in the video about the asylum process. They have a right to come here to seek asylum and become citizens

Vital fact: Immigrant, Migrant & Refugee are three completely different things. Never conflate them.
Complaints about release dates are clearly a matter of backlogs. Just because number of arrests goes up doesn't mean they can be booked and tried faster.
Why don't they flee to Mexico?
They do. They end up everywhere. I met a college professor who lived in mexico many years. Mexico ain't exactly the worst place in the world, not all immigrants are 'mexicans'. I also heard a story of a guy who was in a desert riding a camel on vacation and he said something to his friend in spanish and the camel guy turned out to be some cuban dude lol You don't think they end up in europe with all the other immigrants? I know personally everyone ends up in a different place first before coming here, most of em anyway. The have whats called a 'brain drain' problem where their doctors are offered gigs in other places and then they never come bacl. And that's a problem because putting resources into specializing someone in a profession like that and then losing them is costly to society, but cuba underpays their doctors so they bring it upon themselves? They don't exactly still think they're part of the ussr but they're not doing too well regardless. China has free enterprise and cuba has allowed people to make money, i don't know how it is these days though. Legit doctor makes a dollar a day... At least with castro people respected him and largely just didnt talk about him. They feel underminded by this new leader they have. Any person can be subject to harsh sentences etc for any kind of conspiracy. They can easily flee to mexico but the opportunity to have the same standard of living isn't there, in the united states there is a second community of cubans which is the largest and provides the most work and integration. A city that is not all white majority, though it was designed to seperate races and classes admitedly. I didn';t design it that way though., Imagine telling someone from there that their dreams won't come true. Harsh... they enjoy travelling the world and then settling down and buying a little house in florida and a car. I can't hate on that. Noone can. They ain't gonna do anything about it, so why all the negativity. It always some ridiculous person who has to come out of the woodwork to regurgitate what they heard on fox news. "We have to stop this It's a crisis and we cant deal with it" If you risk your life to come here that's all I need ot hear. And to work to have something from nothing even if that means spoiling your kids later, then I won't even discourage you. I;ve had people (in cuba) tlel me their dreams and they were so far removed from mine I could only say I wish you the best of luck. What I don't like is emotional manipulation. But these people are quieter than a mouse ... they wjust ant to make it. And they usually do. By working harder than you maybe but nothing to be insecure about. They are always legal and usually don't cause too much trouble. My family used fake names and ended up in a womens prison in lousiana with some other women from haiti where the guards spit tobacco in a bucket all day. Then, they were free...
“The wet feet, dry feet policy or wet foot, dry foot policy was the name given to a former interpretation of the 1995 revision of the application of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 that essentially says that anyone who emigrated from Cuba and entered the United States would be allowed to pursue residency a year later. Prior to 1995, the U.S. government allowed all Cubans who reached U.S. territorial waters to remain in the U.S. After talks with the Cuban government, the Clinton administration came to an agreement with Cuba that it would stop admitting people intercepted in U.S. waters. For two decades thereafter, any Cuban caught on the waters between the two nations (with "wet feet") would summarily be returned to Cuba or sent to a third country, while one who made it to shore ("dry feet") got a chance to remain in the United States, and later would qualify for expedited "legal permanent resident" status in accordance with the 1966 Act and eventually U.S. citizenship. On January 12, 2017, Barack Obama announced the immediate end of the policy.” -wikipedia
Wow.. this report can fluently talk multiple language , Spanish - Portuguese
What blows my mind: Cubans in Florida, who fled an authoritarian regime, who vote for the modern republicans ... who have become an authoritarian regime.
no, they vote for the republicans because they know that the policies of the democrats lead to be similar to those of the Cuban regime, anything that is close to the left wing they will escape from it
Bro, it was not the republicans who literally made the ministry of truth
Different types of authoritarianism. The trauma from life in a communist country is naturally going to result in a lot of refugees leaning hard right just as a preventative measure.
If cubas politics were like nazi Germany, then we'd have a bunch of Marxist leninists and anarcho-syndicalists touching down on Florida soil lol
What is the definition of authoritatian regime.

Why can’t everything be done legally? Why are we rewarding criminal behaviors? At some point, the empire will fall when rules of laws are being ignored.
Send them back! Job market already limited. I have a degree and I don’t want to be competing with more people than what I have to
These people have heard about the Great American Welfare Gravy Train and believe me it's living high on the hog compared to where they come from. Just think sit on your ass and get everything free. That's the ticket.
I think they should be deported or given a job to work right away to earn their keep. Their family here should have to give them housing to be able to stay. I don't know the answers but I don't think it's fair that some people have been applying to get in and never do while others just show up. I don't think that's very fair. We have to have a fair system and if people just show up their US families need to financially support them and they need to work to stay. I think that would be a win win and could actually help the economy. Otherwise, the only choice is to deport them.
I live in the Miami metro area and I know too many Cubans who do not work and instead prefer to wait for handouts. Then they go on the local news here and complain about the US government and how we are all going to become evil socialists like Cuba. They literally just come to the US to complain about the US. It’s bizarre.
If they came in the legal way, their sponsors would be responsible for them. Now it's on the taxpayers.
How come they get past coastguard this a national security problem all should be sent back
Meanwhile, the governor is focused on sexual identity, banning African American AP classes, his new hobby engaging in human trafficking and non existent CRT…😂😂
as he should be, obviously you have no idea what is in the material that they wanted to ram down peoples throats. see your another dumb liberal who has no clue and doesn't do any research and actually see the amount of damage that is being caused by those policies. you just think its all made up and its all fairy tales.
Damn, I wish I could of come this way. It cost me over 10k to migrate legally into the USA.
Would think they may incentivize u to come legally. The ones coming legally should want to stop the ones screwing it up for their future possiblities
Those coming illegally don't really have a lot of opportunities. You can't get a high paying job without proper identification. They fill a lot of spots that would be empty without them. Line cooks, cleaners, construction,landscaping. It's not really competition, America is divided amongst class and those who can afford 10k+ to migrate will have better opportunities than those who came illegally.@@theboringchan

What I don’t understand is there are thousands upon thousands upon thousands and I’m sure millions of these ppl who want better quality of life, so why not organize and force your own leaders to do better, why are they so afraid of their own government??

They lower the uber fares in Florida its crazy. They work for nothing
Finite amout of those jobs. And rent is expensive in Florida, you can expect both migrants and long time residents to start moving north.
Isn't that good?!
In Oregon all them do it too. They got all delivery drivers working slave wages after gas and car fees. They expect Door dash workers to stare at a screen for hours sitting in a parking lot with ten others. The second an order comes in they have to take it without even seeing the wage offered. They're lucky to get five bucks an hour after so many hours sitting and waiting like crack fiends.
@@superelectric8834 No, if the Jobs were getting cheaper as a service because of advances in efficiency or some new technique it'd be good, but its just because of oversaturation of the job market, those people getting paid garbage are still going to have to live there, with you, and they can't afford the same quality of life so it will create slums, and slums breed crime and a toxic culture.

This isn't American citizens responsibility to pay for them. Send them BACK!
Clamping down on Cuban arrivals because they generally support GOP candidates... Pretty transparent. Meanwhile, the land border is wide open.
Solution: End the cuban blockade
Curious about the effect on local grocery stores?
More rice sold
When my girlfriend worked at Wynn-Dixie grocery in the Keys they had to put those little anti-theft strips under the pad that soaks up the blood/juices in a pack of steak/chicken and pork because the cubans would steal so much of it.
The capitalist embargo on Cuba has done immeasurable damage. Let's hope the illegal blockage ends soon.
I was on a cruise over the new years and January. We intercepted 2 of these rafts in 1 day and we weren't even the only cruise ship to pick up migrants that day. I've never seen anything like it.
Republican Mayor said he understands what the Cubans are going through. Unless he personally traveled from Cuba to key west in a home made boat, he doesnt understand.
Also I've been to key west 4 times, and I dont think I've ever seen a cuban. Miami, yes literally everywhere.
There’s Cuban everywhere buddy 🤣🤣🤣 not just Miami
Coming from a key west local: You obviously weren’t looking
He’s not even the mayor
Been there once and seen them and Haitians at the Caribbean festival there
Nobody has time for your sob stories.Apply for asylum .
I live in the Florida Keys and I see boats like this on the shore all the time. I’ve also seen boats coming to shore many times. I usually try to avoid them if possible (I don’t know if there are consequences if you help them) I did give a boat a bunch of water and snacks one time.
Can't believe u helped them drug smuggling gang infested criminal family who would rather run from their problems instead of fix their issues at home. Just saying

Joining the military is another way of becoming a citizen. I don’t think many even consider this option.
You can’t Join it without a green card buddy
Same with people trying to get to Europe and the UK. Your life where you came from must have been really bad if you're willing to risk drowning to get away from that place. We've got to start with treating these people as humans and looking at what we can do collectively to help those in need.
And it's only going to get worse with climate change... people will migrate to where the food, and water, and jobs are. I totally expect that US citizens will be begging to get into Canada in 50 years when all of our land is arid and we can't grow food anymore... or sustain our lifestyles in big cities. We are all human and we really need to find a way.
@@EricaGamet totally. It's a shame all the billionaires don't want to help out at all. And that they're very good at keeping us all fighting amongst ourselves so we don't turn on them. We should.
Well, if the gringos don't want Cubans to immigrate to their country, they should pressure their government to lift the economic blockade.
There's an economic blockade when Cuba is now dollarized? Explain MLC to me?

I live in the UK and more and more people are crossing the English channel from France .
its because you voluntarily have the worlds largest Pakistani and Indian diasporas.
and you have been importing Asians since the 1950s, as part of that British empire crap.
you made L0n-do0 -nistan and now they all want to go there.
Bad European policy. Asylum claims must be claimed in the first safe country. That's international law. Those people crossed many safe countries. But let's assume they didn't and crossed from France, the UK could easily send them back because France is definitely a safe country, but your government doesn't. You have it easier, way clearer and defined laws, BUT your gov needs to do it's job.
@@djm2189 I often ask the British a question. When I see them complain about migrants coming from France, or blaming France, or the EU, for the African and Asian migrants appearing on British beaches.
I'm Irish, so I ask Brits the following; if Ireland was offering better care and money to these economic migrants, and these migrants started camping out in Cardiff, and building makeshift boats which could cross the Irish sea.
Would you stop them?
Exactly, and neither do the French when they see the issue paddling away.
(incidentally we do have a more generous social welfare system, so we probably do offer more money. but don't tell them that).
Good bye UK. prepare yourselves for Sharia law
A very similar strategy was followed by the Cuban government during the Mariel boatlift of the 1980s, namely, to openly allow a mass exodus from the impoverished island of what it already considers to be dissidents and then waiting for these dissidents to settle in the US in order to eventually have them send a considerable portion of their income earned here in the US to their needy family members still stuck in Cuba, thereby positively stimulating Cuba's joke of an economy or at least, indirectly keeping it afloat.
It's gonna be sad to know that these cubans, who think that they'll find a better life here, might end up being subjugated into our cut and dry work environment, ridiculous medical bills, the massive recession, and landlords who could care less about their needs and more about their money. Their problems will now be like our problems but worse.
Even with all that, it’s mile better than living in Cuba. People really underestimate how worse it really is in developing countries.
Plus their life expectancy just went down, murder rate here is crazy.
@@carlosnino6476 seriously😂 no point was made here….just unaware..
You act like they come here blindly. In Cuba there's two groups of people the ones with family in the US who send money back and then there's the group that doesn't. The one with family in the US enjoys a significantly higher quality of Life. $50 is the pension monthly in Cuba. Not to mention what are you even talking about "recession" the US economy grew by almost $600 Billon in 2022 more than Cubas entire economy.
@@smartandstreet Carlos point still stands
Born and raised in miami and the key's I've found many home made boats even rescued some you look at things differently when you find a raft with children's toy's in it and it's empty
This is so sad... this has to be scary, because you do not know if your going to make it and if you do its a possibility that your family may be split up.. Praying for them
If you want to enter any country you need to do it legally. My wife is a immigrant and she went through all the channels legally. She does not come from money and would be considered poor in America. I have immigrated as well and did it by the book. I have no issue with immigrants but there are rules in life and we need to respect the laws of the country we want to live in. God bless all these people and i hope they find what they are looking for in life

It's not that your wrong, but there is a finite amount resources. If America had open border policy pass tomorrow. Our population will double in a month. And the poorer working class in America would be driven even further into poverty because they would have to compete with these migrants. The traffic alone would be a nightmare.
I'm saying this cause my family alone would quadruple in a month.

Unlike the Southern border, all arrivals by boats are immediately turn back to the shores they sailed from. No opportunity to lodge any asylum. So their entire trip is pointless.
