They think money grows on trees and the roads are paved in gold in the USA.
What?? Bro what??
End the US Blockade of the Island!!!
The regime is crumbling especially after that fire in mantanzas , this already took a critical situation into the level of unresolvable
Go from Cuba to US is too easy. For Vietnamese boat poeple (in 198x) It was 100x harder, 50% of them lost their life at sea.
That's what happens when a country play with communism.
Communism? You mean a one-party military state. The reality is Cuban Armed Forces runs almost every piece of the government, especially the economy. Obviously, I don’t agree with most if not all that the government has done for decades.
Lol what? The US and West put economic sanctions and embargoes on them? 🤔😂
@@DonaldTrunk23 The cuban communist party did not use the equivalent to many times the credit donated to reconstruct Europe, an amount received by the Castro horror mafia years ago from many countries. Was it because of the embargo? Not at all. The Cuban communists are rich. And they are currently imprisoning dissidents just for calling names Canel, but the cuban people never elected him. For exemple, 30 years of prison given to people for saying: Díaz Canel Singao! There is an embargo, yes. But the reference to it doesn't aloud many people to see the big corruption of Canel and company and the suppression of liberties of the Cuban people. One do not help the Cubans asking for the end of the embargo at all, that regime takes any amount they receive and use it in their private business, people actually help cubans asking the communist government to resign. There are 3 things that will end the embargo automatically and one can easily check that law to verify what will end it : freedom for cuban political prisoners, free elections and liberty for Cubans. By the way, the embargo does not restrict food or medicine to Cuba, all the chicken Cubans eat are from the US, and Cuba entertains comercial relations with more than 100 countries. The Cuban communist party have had more that 60 years to prove what they really are : only thiefs. Cubans do not want any more communism. Once that regime is well gone, so will the embargo be.
Is the rest of Latin America communist too?
There's so many Cubans from Florida that are racist towards Haitian 🇭🇹 immigrants arriving by boats and rubber dinghies to the United States...but they're okay with their people (cubans) coming illegally 🙄🙄
“Send them back” they say
How about we send all the amigos (Cubans) back to Cuba 🇨🇺
That's what black people get for not making more noise.
Since Cuba is a small island I get how they are fleeing by sea but how are they fleeing by land? That one stumped me a little.
They board planes. Planes is the highest form of illegal immigration
I am Cuban and I am very familiar with the Cuban situation. Cubans are no migrating to USA due to the US embargo on the island, but due to repression of the Cuban dictatorial government on the Cuban people for thinking differently. The economy plays a roll, but it is not the main reason. The main reason for Cubans to flee the island is the lack of freedom. Among the Cuban migrants to USA you can find mainly those who want to be free from the Cuban dictatorship. The Cuban government is imprisoning or killing anyone who dissent from the government and is infiltrating Cuban spies, within this massive exodus to USA, who are trained to intimidate other Cubans in US soil who dissent from the Cuban dictatorship and had already been victims of the Cuban dictatorial government, among many other strategies to subdue the Cuban dissenting. Also, among Cuban migrants, you can find those who have worked for the dictatorship for several years so far; but are waiting for the chance to flee the island because they know the Cuban government is wrong. Moreover, the Cuban dictatorship is doing anything possible to empower companies anywhere in the world with close ties to the Cuban dictatorship. These companies would not succeed if Cubans had basic needs such as food and medicine covered. The owner of these companies is always someone with close ties to the Cuban dictatorship. In other words, the Cuban government blames the US embargo for any basic product shortage, but the truth is that Cuba was able to produce its own food before de Cuban revolution. Trust me, the goal of the dictatorship is to continue to cause these shortages to force those Cubans, who live out of the island and earn the hard currency, to buy those basic needs products through these Cuban government companies. Cuba is not seeking peace with the US, but to control those Cubans in USA who dissent from the Cuban dictatorship. There is more to this than just what I just said. If you have any other question, I will be please to answer it.
Lies told in service to Imperialism.
@@kimobrien. Sadly, if you are in denial about accepting the cuban reality, there is nothing I can do. However, trust me when I say I know what happens in my country. To understand Cuba one has to go by like a cuban who live in the island with no family abroad. Thank you for your insight in this matter :-)))
@@ursusalincardososuarez4286 May 1st in Havana another another show of mass support for the Cuban government by the Cuban workers and farmers and a defeat for the US Imperialists and their lackeys.
@@kimobrien. I am familiar with that show. I remember every year most of cuban showing up to May 1st afraid of loosing their jobs. Mostly those who had access to foreign currency or any other kind of means (food, clothes, etc.) at their jobs would not want to loose their jobs due to being absent to the May 1st job. Also, during the May 1st show everyone around me just wanted to be home, not at this show. The cuban dictatorship made sure to cause trouble to anyone absent to the May 1st show. People would show up this day smiling, like you have to job-smile in a bad day at work in USA, if that applies. In other words, that smile does not come from the heart and the whole show is completely fake. It is hard to believe, but it is what it is. I understand the imperialism and all that, but the revolution did not bring sacrifice for everyone, but just to those most vulnerable; like in USA. Just, in Cuba, the most vulnerable is everyone, but the dictatorship-government. Surely, the revolution did not sacrifice many until 1959 to get to what we have today. Many cuban government official relatives traveling the world with the cuban people's money. Even buying properties in foreign countries under SA corporations. None of the government official earn a salary in foreign currency that allows any of their relatives to travel anywhere or to own any Nightclub or any other bussiness in Cuba. But, that is happening. Many were imprisoned before for trying to do the same. After all, the revolution was fought to bring balance to the cuban society, not to bring this overwhelming difference we are seing today. Cuba was not that critical before 1959. Back then, we had almost one cow per cuban and we were able to produce as much food as we needed on our own. It is true, there were have nots and have's, like you have here in USA, but the have nots were able to meet their basic needs. Before 1959, cubans were paid in cuban pesos and the goods were sold to then in cuban pesos. Cubans could travel anywere, if they had the money to do it. The list could go on and on, but I think you are already familiar with it. Cubans fought and died in 1959 to overthrow the dictator Fulgencio Batista (got to power on march 10th 1952 came to power through a coup). Following Fidel, cubans also fought to bring parity to our society. However, all we have today is the opposite. Is it the imperialism's fault that we are not self-sufficient food producers or that we don't have one cow per cuban habitant like before 1959, becasuse Fidel sold every cow in the island to foreign countries? No, the answer is not. Our leader, back then, made huge mistakes that impacted meeting our basic needs. These are just a few examples that one can google. After making such mistakes; afraid of retaliation, none around him would dare to bring any of this up to him. Those retaliations would go from being demoted and loose all priviledges (monthly basic needs met and brought home by any government entity, vacations at resorts twice a year for a month, travels representing Cuba anywhere and the most important: the priviledge to be trusted large sums of foregin currency) to go prison to be killed. A good example of this is Huber Matos who fought next to Fidel, but did not want to follow him anymore after the revolution success when Fidel decided to shift to Marxist principles. The imperialism is not responsible for any of this.
@@ursusalincardososuarez4286 Sure everyone goes because the Imperialist say a gun is pointed at their backs. Huber Matos is both a traitor and liar just like you. "Cuban's could travel anywhere if they had the money." LMAO what's new? You have the Yankee dollar and you can buy whatever the Yankee Imperialists have. "Fidel sold every cow on the island to foreign countries." You don't really expect anyone to believe something as stupid as that? Marco Rubio has job for you filling a balloon with hot air. He promises to out do the Communists with free internet from a balloon. No free internet in the US but Rubio said he's going to bring free internet to Cuba. The Imperialist make promises they have no intention of keeping. They take a fool like you make a few promises and then your hooked on their nonsense. Everyone knows the poor do not get their needs meet in Cuba before the revolution. Their children had distended bellies full of parasites. The land owners beat the peasants like dogs. Blacks faced discrimination and segregation just like in the US. Women sold their bodies outside casinos. It was a capitalist paradise for the rich. Yankee sailors pissed on Jose Marti statues. The revolution changed all that.
Cubans everywhere in South Miami now more than ever clogging up the buses.
Interesting
Have u ridden the busses (public transport) in Cuba?
Lift the damn embargo already.
the embargo stays until there are free democratic elections

@@isubtothebest6020 Hello ISubToTheBest. God bless you for your frank response. I am not fitted into regular shapes that is for sure.
Why is it that no news channel can bother to point out that Cuba is economically screwed because of specifically the US embargo over 60 freaking years? America is the cause of this. If you have ever been to Cuba, the majority of people are very happy and the country is safer than anywhere in the US. If only one real news channel could address this irony. It’s like making fun of the poor kid for not having money after you stole their money.
Communism sucks, bro. Deal with it, loser.

I have met numerous people from Cuba. They are so nice, kind, and respectful people. They hate what has become of the country and admitted that they felt the country was in better shape when Castro was in power. So that says something.
Many have no idea what communism Cuba was under Castro. Cuban souls that suffered so much and exiles deserve respect.
@@ififif2022 they are all some of the kindest people I have met. I show them plenty of respect, gratitude, and always want to learn more about Cuba and it’s culture.
That means communism destroyed everything but they can't comprehend! Same with my country , people are so disoriented and think demokraci is worst than communism. The only one that are doing well are those that were against communism , because they know better what was taken away . Communism controlls everything and people don't want responsibility , for them is better a little everyday until no little anymore !
@@Chatterbox-94 yeah Castro what difference do you mean in the 90 there was a protest ont the capital like the 11 of july protest happen the reason it did not spread it was because people were afraid of Fidel so no we did worse with him now they loose the fear because he is no more.
@@AlejandroMartinez-it4qq I just hope that there is peace in Cuba in the near future and that the people of Cuba no longer have to worry about corruption or communism within the Cuban government. Just peace and prosperity.

Lol
What doesn’t make sense to me is that some of these Cubans who are just getting here will want to vote for trump in the next election LMAO somebody please explain to me why ???
@Kim O'Brien, I know that a Cuba with no social differences was possible after 1959; however, the power clouded the Cuban government official’s judgement and, little by little, they gave in to the little privileges and luxury, only reachable by few. In fact, I witnessed part of that change. I am very naïve. You are right. In fact, I notice this Cuba had also social differences when we couldn’t enjoy some of our beaches and none of our hotels anymore in the 90’s, when people were imprisoned for telling the truth, when the tourism arrived at our country, and we couldn’t walk on the streets without being harassed by the Cuban police -the Cuban government informally criminalized befriending those foreigners-. However, this time, these differences were horrifically worse than those before 1959 as Cubans would not have the ability to, at least, own their own business and the government would take over everything. Thus, the differences between have’s (government officials and their relatives) and have nots were very likely to be greater than those before 1959. As far as myself, I am not naïve or idealist for asking the Cuban government to really abide by the principles they preach and taught us in the schools -“a better country with no social difference, where its president is as hungry as the poorest Cuban or where the poorest Cuban can enjoy anything as much as the Cuban president”. In the end, what was the greater good the Cuban rebel army was fighting for? Was it a better country for all; or a better country for THEM (those in power with the guns)? Blaming the embargo for all our shortages are only fallacies aiming to cloud everyone’s judgement. INEPTITUDE, INEFFICACY and CORRUPTION inside the Cuban revolutionary government is the least I can think of to make excuses for the Cuban demise. Not to mention INSOLVENT TOURISM INDUSTRY and EXPORTING CUBAN FOOD that Cubans need to eat to survive. Please, let’s think, how much money could the Cuban government have made by exporting or selling food to hotels or in a market other than Cuban pesos? The numbers show not enough to justify such outrageous call. Wake up, I am not talking about exporting cobalt, nickel, gold, silver, iron, aluminum or any non-edible good. What I am talking about now is the Cuban government exporting or selling our food in a currency that we are not paid in. Cubans are hungry and they need that food. The Cuban government elite eats well every day. They government even forecast on TV events illustrating the catering for such events while the Cubans are starving and spending days in lines to be sold in foreign currency or Cuban pesos a rationed amount of chicken, for instance. Do you really think that the embargo is responsible for that? I am not citing here any numbers for you to see the inconsistencies of the Cuban government between what they preach and what they are really doing. I know you are knowledgeable enough to do your own math. Sadly, the reality is that the Cuban government is not socialist or communist nor any of the like that people want to buy in their dreams of achieving a better world, but a highly repressive dictatorship that keeps their citizen indigents, exports or sells in foreign currency (currency Cubans does not earn in Cuba) even the food the Cuban people produce and that they need to eat because they are starving. Does this seem right to you just to achieve a greater good that has not been accomplished in 63 years? If the answer is yes, maybe you need to live like an average Cuban citizen making a living in Cuban pesos (who knows with certainty the name of the next term president of Cuba, even before de elections); not knowing what to eat or what to provide to his/her family and knowing that dissenting from the system that starve him/her would causing to end imprisoned. I am sorry, the embargo is not responsible for any of this nonsense.
Así mismo. This is all about the Cuban government willfully keeping people oppressed. It infuriates me that they know that people are hungry yet they make it ILLEGAL to fish in order to feed your family. Hello? It’s a tropical island!
@@Rwethereyet Mrs. Gonzalez, you are absolutely right. Criminalizing small fishing in Cuban waters while Cubans are starving is just the tip of the iceberg. There is way more to the Cuban government hypocrisy than criminalizing fishing; such as, building a socialism/communism with imperialist/capitalist socioeconomical formation money. If they want to build a better world for everyone, they have to understand that such idea should not be imposed, or it will become another form of dictatorship. The Cuban government needs to understand that as long as the money is part of their equation, they will be as capitalist as any other capitalist country. Just because a country decides to provide free health and education to its citizens does not mean they are socialist or communist. Actually, in our planet, as of today, no country should be considered socialist or communist. Actually, I think that we have countries where their citizens enjoy freedom and democracy and countries where their citizens suffer at the hands of a dictatorship (be it leftist or rightist). Regarding my previous entry, I reiterate what I mentioned. Yes, Cubans has always been imprisoned for non-violently dissenting from the Cuban government. Examples of them are everywhere. I don’t want to be unfair to any political prisoner by not mentioning their names. However, we all have heard the name of “Guillermo Fariñas”, who never presented with any violence to dissent from the Cuban government and spend more than 11 years in prison. Of course, the Cubans jailed for thinking differently are way too many to mention them here. I have already posted the link with their names in a previous entry.
@@ursusalincardososuarez4286 So your saying Farinas never struck a co worker? You obviously understand zero about economics. So I'm not going to even bother with that. When they adopt Peristroka and Glastnost like what your friend Farinas wanted then we will see people on the street trying to sell everything they own just to buy a scrap of bread and the development of mafia type gangsters killing at will, all kinds of sell off of state property to corrupted officials mentally ill wandering the streets and dangerous drugs of course will also be for sale. Then you can truely say you have capitalist Freedom and Democracy. That is what Gorbachev and Bill Clinton sold the Soviet people. But the Pizza Hut commercials told a different story. Gorbachev couldn't eat enough along with the Pepsi everyone was going to live happily ever after.
So no the idea that the police are holding people back and they are starving is just so much bullshit. Of course the US has made it clear that is what it wants from the blockade. hunger, desperation, and overthrow of government.
@@kimobrien. Like you mentioned, there is not point on explaining anything further to you as you seem to not understand that the major issue in Cuba is lack of freedom. However, it will be nice for you to understand that all those items you are addressing in your statement are already present in Cuba under the current dictatorial government. Facts are as follows: Cuba has gone from being one of the first economies in Latin-America to be among the last-ones now. Cuban people are starving. Most of the fields in Cuba are underused. Cuba has to produce their own food to begin with. Then, the Cuban government has to prioritize all its citizens over the foreigners that visit the country. Human life is not about money, but the resources and means that are able to enviromentally-sosteinable develop. Money is just a middle man that Cuba has reject to kneel to before. Also, I remember Fidel stating that Cuba did not need the capitalist money nor the USA or any of its lackeys. However, that speech has changed throughout all these years. So, now the speech is about the embargo. Currently, it seems the embargo is responsible for Cuba's demise. Absolutely not!!! Cuba is responsible for its own failure. Many years being mostly supported financially by another country has not helped Cuba to be SELF-SUFFICIENT. SELF-SUFFICIENT, YES!!!!!!!! Actually, we all know that it is hard to achieve such lofty goal , but everyone has to work together to succeed. USA does not have to provide any visas anually to Cuba. USA has the right to trade with anyone and to take action against those who are not paying their dues. Cuba also has the option to say no to the current monetary system and create their own magic inside the island. Back then, in Cuba, I remember many of us beleiving that we could have achieved this goal of being SELF-SUFFICIENT. In fact, we worked hard for it; however, the many corrupt Cuban government officials showed over and over that while we were making the ultimate sacrifice to built a better Cuba, they were depleting the resources and embracing fully the Capitalism that was once evil. All those societal diseases you are mentioning in your aforementioned statemen are present now in Cuba. In other words, the Cuban goverment is a HYPOCRITE that preaches what it does not practice. A leader needs to be a ROLE MODEL to beleive in him/her. All your ideology in Cuba is being impossed to everyone. None is legally allow to dissent. Please, and again, to state "police are holding people back and they are starving is just so much bullshit" in Cuba you need to go to Cuba or live in Cuba and dissent from the government. Off course, since you are a dictatorship supporter, I do not think you will have any trouble.
@@ursusalincardososuarez4286 No like I said you fail to understand economics. No country is "self sufficient" .You can't build Socialism in one country and Cuba has not adopted private property where housing belongs to banks or created a stock market. Nor is a privileged bureaucracy that fights to restore capitalist methods developed. Those seeking privileges are leaving for the USA. A minority like you want to return to capitalism. You look to capitalist liberals and finance to solve Cuba's problems and not the power of the organized workers and farmers themselves. You fail to understand how capitalism is choking off production on a world scale. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. If your such a smart one than you can explain how capital produces a god dam thing? You think that largest in the world cache of gold sitting in the bottom of the New York federal reserve bank is what keeps American imperialism as top dog or do you think its the production of millions of human beings and a world empire of military force unmatched in human history.

@@ififif2022 499. Memorandum From the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Mallory) to the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs (Rubottom)1
Washington, April 6, 1960.
SUBJECT
The Decline and Fall of Castro
Salient considerations respecting the life of the present Government of Cuba are:
1.
The majority of Cubans support Castro (the lowest estimate I have seen is 50 percent).
2.
There is no effective political opposition.
3.
Fidel Castro and other members of the Cuban Government espouse or condone communist influence.
4.
Communist influence is pervading the Government and the body politic at an amazingly fast rate.
5.
Militant opposition to Castro from without Cuba would only serve his and the communist cause.
6.
The only foreseeable means of alienating internal support is through disenchantment and disaffection based on economic dissatisfaction and hardship.
If the above are accepted or cannot be successfully countered, it follows that every possible means should be undertaken promptly to weaken the economic life of Cuba. If such a policy is adopted, it should be the result of a positive decision which would call forth a line of action which, while as adroit and inconspicuous as possible, makes the greatest inroads in denying money and supplies to Cuba, to decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government.
The principal item in our economic quiver would be flexible authority in the sugar legislation. This needs to be sought urgently. All other avenues should likewise be explored. But first, a decision is [Page 886]necessary as to the line of our conduct. Would you wish to have such a proposal prepared for the Secretary?2

They need to stop letting these people in
One word, communism.
Nope. It's US led sanctions that have crippled Cuba.
Even if Cuba became a new US State later in life must happen deserving American democracy.
No, they didn't have to go to "South America." Mexico and Nicaragua are NOT in South America. Someone needs to go back to 5th grade geography lessons.
YEARS OF FIDEL CASTRO AND FAMILY COMUNISMO!!!!!!!!
Right have a capitalist family where you charge everyone for eating supper so Dad can make a profit.
6/23/2021..184 member nations sign on to UN resolution to end the US economic embargo of Cuba. Three countries abstain, Brazil, Columbia, Ukraine. Two countries vote no, Israel and the United States.
They have never voted against the "internal embargo" done by the cuban communist party against cubans.
I’m betting a lot of Americans would visit Cuba if there weren’t laws preventing it. They’re so close.
Tourists going to Cuba risk getting scabies, hemorrhagic dengue fever, gastrointestinal infections, drinking or bathing with contaminated water and allergies from fumigation against mosquitoes, among many other illnesses. If they visit local hospitals being sick, their marvelous vacation trips turn to nightmares. They do not have sufficient needles or gloves or patience or food or medicine to help them.
@@ififif2022 End the blockade!!!
@@kimobrien. The blockade is a communist invention. A lie. It should be called what it is: embargo.
Stupid Title!
Cubans think we have it so good here. Economy may be a lot better but families here are not nearly as close as they are in Third World countries like Cuba. I’m thinking of retiring over there.
They should talk to the migrant field workers about the myth of social mobility.
Most immigrant field workers are undocumented or of very low education which is why there isn't much social mobility available for them, but many Cubans immigrating here have some sort of higher education (usually medical) which allows them to find well paying jobs and social mobility.
wrong, there is plenty of upper mobility here in the US... but you have to do the right things, stay away from drugs, get technical training, and become American, I did... Mariel Boatlift of 1980 escapee here....
@@luistpuig I think you’re missing the point. I’m glad you had your opportunity. There is no doubt some have had great success. But it would be foolish to claim that subjective experience as the staple example of a great country. The united states has a deep problem that affects a majority. Now, before I’m told to go back to Cuba let me clarify that I don’t neglect the serious crisis Cuba faces as well.
If you ever heard of that song called gravity how you keep putting people on our gravity gravity stay the hell away from me because you people keep putting everybody to United States on our gravity and the gravity can't stand the pressure that's why they made that song Gravity

MORE REPUBLICAN VOTERS?
Yep, they get suckered into the Republican lies that Democrats want a communist country like Cuba, just so they can grab their votes. Then surprise Fidel Trump wants to be their new dictator. Lol
And you need them!
💯
Ehh some may switch and go Democrat but I foresee Cubans saying a good 50 something percent Republican on presidential elections.
USA has played a role in the circumstances
I don’t know what is the point of patrolling waters if they come through the Mexico border in massive numbers anyways. The wet foot/dry foot was taken away but then they get to the US they have everything laid out for them easy.
Immigration is a capitalist policy of hypocrisy they want low paid labor but don't want to pay any social benefits. There policy is to drive down not just the price of immigrant labor but all labor to create a pirah class of worker.
That's because the established Cuban American community. They watch each other's back like crazy.
@@juliostevens9480 Washington does not care about a few Cubans in Miami. They are unhappy because their dictator General Batista was defeated and they were unsuccessful in restoring the old corrupt ruling class many who were taking it easy in Miami from getting back in power. The US Imperialist operate their Empire with a combination of military force, threats and national capitalist collaborators. Since the 60 year hard line policy is a failure they are considering that maybe some kindness will increase their world stature vis a vis Cuba. They are probably getting tired of getting only a single vote from Israel in favor of the blockade at the UN. It does little to advance their hypocrisy as the leader of the free world and a human rights champion.
It’s not that easy. I went through the immigration process for a family member, ICE and their process treat you worse than animals. The only way I know that allows them to escape Cuba completely is through political asylum which costs money to do and is an added headache on top of all the deportation papers and other process they need to follow to establish any sort of life here. It’s sad that Obama and every president after him have given their backs to Cubans who suffer at the hand of a dictatorship.
Those anti government Cubans who complain about dictatorship want the free market to give them the pay and privileges of Western intellectuals without having to pay for their education. Dissident Yoani Sanchez, who once was going to be smelling the ink of a free press room, settled down to be a Miami University "Presidential Scholar" where she talks about how she has to work at her website and hopes that by breeding discontent with state salaries in Cuba that Cuba will become "free". Of course the western free press and internet are only as free as the corporate owners will permit it to be. Sanchez no longer a Darling of the Western Press owners is now just another RUclipsr and promoter of capitalism.
If you see em catch em. Cubans can be easily identified They have Hispanic features
Unlike Argentinas and brazilians 😆🤣
Some have typical Hispanic features you see commonly in Latin America but many more have Afro features.

i mean, i don’t think it should really be a question…… although i don’t think right now is the best time but i don’t blame them
And now Russia has joined Cuba N.Korea and Irans status.
Gosh…I wonder why people want to leave Cuba? Humph! Maybe it’s that there’s no food? Jobs or a future. What a fabulously stupid question!
The United States can get like them other countries Yeah by President Biden keep letting all these people come in the United States
If they lifted the embargo maybe they'd see a lot less people coming, just a thought. what do they hate more, communism or immigrants? one's gonna have to continue to make the other stop
there is no embargo, just a crap leftists economy that does not work! Mariel 1980 escapee here kid!
Ask any Cuban. The only embargo against them is by their own government..!!!

I’m a SUPER pro-life Republican, but I am sooo happy, Biden is helping Cubans out again. THANK GOD 🙏🏼. I wish he would do more.
Biden is not helping Cubans, he is helping the Cuban regimen, Cubans will never see a single penny from what you call help, Cuba is a socialist dictatorship, the regimen keep the money while the Cuban people struggle.
Well, the Cuban communist elite's business are not the Cuban people. One should aim for politics to help the latter.
What about Mexico and central America, though?
@@matheusvillela9150 I’m Mexican-American and Mexicans are NOT in the same circumstances as Cubans. Not even remotely close.
In fact, many Cubans dream of immigrating to Mexico.
I'm sure they envy the cartel, extremely high inequality and crime.

The economic embargo! Live and let live.
ahahah, lame excues by the criminal comunists, the flithy comunism is ruining and starve themto death.
The Republicans turned thier backs on Cuba after Cuban Americans being loyal supporters of that party and that's the thanks they get. Hopefully they stop being sellouts and vote for the party that actually helps immagrints.
That would be the Republicans! The Democrats and their leftist policies are contradictory to why we come here. What's the point of voting for Democrats that would turn the country we are fleeing to into a country like the one we fled from? Duh! The Democrats are incompatible with the reasons and aspirations of why our people come to the USA. We come for opportunities to work and to get ahead in life, not for handouts and welfare to forever make us beholden to the leftists in the USA. Cuban Americans are not opposed to orderly, legal immigration, in fact we support it! This mass exodus is a form of terrorism that the dictatorship has unleashed on the US. Just like they did in 1980 Mariel boat lift. They unloaded their problems on the US and the Democrats were and are too incompetent to stop it.
Additionally, all the democrats have ever done is loosen the purse strings that help fund the dictatorship with no consideration of the oppression they help unleash on our people when they help fund the dictatorship. They use that money not to feed, clothe or provide medical care or better education to our people. They use it to buy Russian automatic weapons, Russian tanks, Russian migs that are used to spread fear among our people and put us down at the end of a gun and to arm their mindwiped automatons and send them to places like Venezuela, Angola, Nicaragua and dozens upon dozens of other leftist communist dictatorships around the world to spread their ideology. Not once have the Democrats demanded and withheld concessions until the dictatorship delivered concessions of their own. As far as Democrats go, they are the worst negotiators in history when confronted by leftist dictatorships. One would suspect where their sympathies lie, with the oppressed people or with the oppressive dictatorships.
Yeah that is the Democrats as well mate.
I understand your frustration, Cubans think they are a better kind of immigrant. Politics is a slippery slope.
+@@terrynewsome6698 Obama ended the policy because it was unfair to other Hispanics who had to wait for a green card but Cubans could cut the line. Since Trump didn't reinstate the wet foot dry foot policy when he could've shows what he truly thinks of Cubans.
Stop the b.s. both parties are responsible for this. Obama, a democrat was the one to abolish wet/dry foot policy. Then trump came and all around enforces stronger immigration policies for all including Cubans. I don’t see much help coming from the government overall
FREE!!!!! Everything is free!!!
"What’s driving the mass exodus of Cubans to the US" Easy, Sanctions.
there is no embargo, just a crap leftists economy that does not work! Mariel 1980 escapee here kid!

Do you really need to ask that question?......Why is Biden turning them away should be the real question.....
If you have to ask, you don't understand US politics. The Trump administration made villains out of immigrants. His supporters are ignorant, and bought into the hate.

The immigration system is broken for those who want more migration. There’s a resource reason we have limits and the system is design to allow as many as can be properly absorbed without undue strain on the American resources. As countries like Cuba press on with their failed system that only benefits a small group of oppressive, autocratic government officials there will be more people who will want to leave. The US with all
It’s faults is viewed as the land of opportunity because with hard work you can improve your economic and social position. I’ve seen the benefits of immigrating even pennyless and with language challenges into a free country with my own eyes. With hard work and wisdom you can make significant gains in standard of living. I’m so glad my family chose to leave Cuba with me in 1961.
The US needs to end it 60 year long Blockade of Cuba. Its own colony in the Caribbean Puerto Rico operating under its laws and economic system has seen negative population growth.
@@kimobrien. There is no blockade. It’s only an embargo for some US businesses. The rest of the world is free to trade with Cuba. They don’t because Cuba has a failed economic system and as such cannot produce much to offer in exchange. Socialism/communism leads to apathy amongst those who would otherwise be driven to excel. As the sugar cane cutters said after Castro nationalized the industry “they pretend to pay us, so we pretend to work”. Most humans need incentives to bust their butts working.
Actually I met a lady who was a kid in Cuba when Castro took over. Her family had a big farm handed down through the family. They took their main house forced them into workers houses took the farm from them. They where allowed to live in the house but nit to farm the land. Then that psycho Castro just let the farm go to hell. They almost starved.
@@T30-z5w Blockade began with Kennedy administration and the was tightened with the Helms Burton act. It is multinational in effect because those foreign businesses doing trade with Cuba are subjected to US fines. This is why the whole world including NATO allies votes against the blockade at the UN with only a few abstentions and a No from the US and Israel. I'm sure all those New York stock brokers and hedge fund managers living in New Jersey mansion on private roads with huge flower gardens are working hard at the stock market swindle. As far as incentives goes don't waste my time with nonsense about pretend to pay and pretend to work. An attitude like that would of course never infect a too big to fail management culture? Capitalist are interested in enriching themselves only and it leads to a declining rate of return on investment as machines replace labor leading to calls for bailout and too big to fail. Who was in charge of wasting 2.3 trillion on the war in Afghanistan? Create a world currency that you can inflate at will such that property values rise while wages decline. Rather than the old fashion wage cuts rob the working class with inflation. Your whole world system of exploitation is in decline and you haven't the slightest idea of what to do about it.
@@missf4681 Castro did not just take over he came to power as a result of a popular revolution that placed the cuban workers and peasants in charge.. That of course couldn't be true Fidel must of had string attached to everyone and everything from which he pulled back and forth from Havana Sure they almost starved just like everything else that almost happened but didn't. Like Yoani Sanchez who writes about what it would be like to be a political prisoner. Too bad they weren't Irish peasants under British capitalism and landlords than they could have died on the side of the road or taken a ghost ship to another country. Then Cuba could then be going into a population decline like Puerto Rico and what Ireland experienced for over one hundred years of British Imperial rule. . .
The USA wants to keep Cuba dangling on a string by lifting and setting embargo’s/sanction at will if the Cubans stray from US political ideals. All Cuba wants is a release from this stranglehold and allow it to freely interact in the global community.
Why are they interviewing the only black person wanting to come to the US. Most likely he will say he is Caucasian on his paperwork
I don't think there is a question that asks about race in the immigration application, just country of origin.
@@krnpowr There is a question that asks about race.
