Hundreds of Migrants Are Turning Up in the Florida Keys

Показать описание

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 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.

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.

I’m glad Cubans are being treated like ALL illegal immigrants that come here. They voted for it. They shouldn’t complain.

The good old, "close the door behind me" Cubans, it's gross how well they fit into half of America

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.

What a journey.. both sad and scary to think about how many of those little boats just disappear..

AwokenEntertainment

That trip is brutal in a capable vessel. Can't imagine drifting at sea for days in a home built raft/boat.

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?

Maliceah

Cuban who made it in and want to lock the door for other really puzzle me.

Suddenly a Florida politician cares about the SMFH!!

Cubans aren’t the only one showing up at the keys, just saying.

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.

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.

flubby

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

joemiller

My friend’s only son was lost at the sea. Imagine the desperation to make a journey like this. So many Cuban generations and families broken because of politics, including mine.

carlosalejandro

Just what America needs, we can't even take care of our own.
