All human beings should have basic human rights protected by their citizens. No matter what political spectrum you are on. We dedicate this to all immigrants seeking those freedoms, including Cubans.
That's why we need to pay close attention to people running for president and others for holding office. Government is not for the everyday Joe. I don't care if there rich or poor they serve the rights of the people first.
7:45 America is called a melting pot, because all the different cultures melted down and became American. The problem in the modern day, that people have with certain immigrants, Is they want to come here and keep the culture they have from their country. This causes people to feel identification with the country and culture they came from, instead of unifying, into all being Americans. The irish, the Italians these groups were once hated in the United States, and now are not seen as anything other than pure Americans. These groups had the same dream and anyone that shares the American dream, can be American. But if you come here, for free handouts, and want to live as if you were still in the country you came from. Then you don't have the American dream. You're just looking for an easier time , than you were previously having. This is why Americans love Cubans! You have hard-working people, who know how to fix everything, and they improve any neighborhood they move into. You can always tell which house belongs to the Cuban family on the block, because it's always the most beautiful from the outside. Perfect grass, perfect plants, flowers ect. Cubans that immigrate to the United States, also share the identical History of the United states. They're throwing off the shackles of tyranny, in pursuit of Liberty..... You cannot get more American than that.
As a disable d United States Marine Corps veteran it brings tears to my eyes watching as you two enjoy the freedoms that I fought so hard for my country to have! Please note they are tears of joy and happiness that I've done my part to help keep this country free to help others like yourselves!
Thank you, Sir, for your service and sacrifice!!! I am an American that truly appreciates and celebrates my freedoms and the amazing, selfless men and women who have fought and are still fighting for us!!! I truly hate that you had to come home disabled. You are a true hero in my book.
Thank you for your service Sr. I’m an immigrant myself. Without heroes like you this country wouldn’t be the envy of the world, thanks once again and happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yeah I think sometimes people need to be reminded how lucky and blessed we are to be Americans. And some like Yoel who grew up in Cuba will always have an appreciation for democracy and capitalism.
Awesome, I came to the US thirty years ago from Africa. We enjoy what was earned by those who gave their lives fighting for liberty and freedom, we don't only owe them all our gratitude and respect, but also keep our constitution alive and well.
One of my best friends escaped the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe and is one of the most patriotic American citizens I know. He’s made my life richer by sharing his heritage, language and culture with me. That’s what makes this country so amazing.
Amen. As president Reagan warned, we are always only one generation away from losing our freedoms'. Praise to those few that fight for others every day!
Be careful and stay safe all of you because some people want to bring back socialism in the blue (Democratic) states but living in the red (Republican) states is safe so again be careful To me I hate socialism and I will not bow down to corruption I’m happy Castro is dead Go Cuba 🇨🇺 🇺🇸🇨🇺🇺🇸🇨🇺
@@jesemioramirez5283 What does socialism give us? Police and fire departments, free schools, highways and biways, Social Security, child labor laws . . . and so much more. Hope you aren't enjoying any of these socialist benefits!
THIS IS MY AMERICA!!! Where a man with nothing but love in his heart and a thirst for freedom can come and BE the American Dream! Respect and love to both of you! #cubalibre
coming from a AMERCAN Hisanic like me. hearing how much respect for my Beautiful country you have gives me great pride of this land i call home. my family thanks you. hope you can accomplish all you can. may god hold you both and bless you.
What a wonderful video of Yoel’s first time celebrating Independence Day! More Americans should realize what a great country we have like he does! God bless the USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇
The speech in the end reminded me of why I joined the Marines. As a first gen American, I felt it was a duty of mine to uphold and support the freedoms that this lovely country provides. Welcome!
You said it. My sister, my brother, and I all joined the Army and Marine Corp. for the same reason except we are not immigrants. However, Yoel said it best that the US is made up of immigrants; and, we should want their freedom as much as our own. There are some I’ve met that look down their noses at people who serve in this country’s defense feeling superior to them. Without those who do serve, I dare say their freedom would not exist and I’m wondering if they would feel so superior and smug if that were the case.
I am so glad to have found this channel! I'm a 22 year old 4th gen American, so seeing my country that is so ingrained in me through an immigrants eyes is so valuable and wonderful to me. So many things are so easily taken for granted, especially my freedom of speech. I am so glad to call both of you fellow Americans. To all of my countrymen, let's all band together and make America an example of freedom, justice, and respect to the rest of the world. God bless!
I bought my husband a pair of those swimming trunks when we went to Houston for his cancer. He didn't win his battle with cancer. We are so happy the two of you are in America too. Yoel is correct America is worth it and we must keep America.
So sorry for the loss of your husband. My bill (the bravest man I have ever met) was a patient there at MD Anderson for 9 years - he too lost the battle but got to see his girls grow up and that was very important to him. May you find peace and remembrance of your brave man also. God bless ...
Oh my Gawd, how can you just not fall in love with this guy? We wish the absolute very best for both of you in America. I know you will find success and happiness, because you are willing to work for it. You will be a success Yoel and you will be happy. Remember Yoel, you are what makes America great, never forget it.
Honestly, this series should be required viewing for so many spoiled Americans who were graced with the privilege to be born in this great country and do nothing but complain about it! Your perspective is so beautiful and so heartfelt.
@@Paulina-yi7xn pretty sure sheepish Patriot would be an oxymoron. Frankly if you're not confident in this country or you being shameful towards it you're probably not a patriot.🇺🇸
@@duncemonkey14 im not a patriot. if we dont criticize our country and its government there will be no improvement. thats why im against the "do nothing but complain" as if complaining about systems is a bad thing to do
I am glad Joel enjoyed his first United States 4th of July. Please know that while some Americans take this country for granted, others of us know how good we have it here and cherish every day. I know how fortunate I am and my son is. My grandparents came here from Portugal and Germany, making our life in Erica possible. I am thankful every day for their sacrifices
Many Americans don't or can't understand the arduous process of immigration in our country. Legally, there must be better processes for immigration. Like someone on here said, we take our freedoms for granted & forget that this democracy was built on the backbones of our ancestors who came to this country seeking freedom from poverty, oppression & human injustices. Yeah Yoel & Mari for allowing others to see through your eyes the sacredness of freedom we Americans take for granted.
You’re right, there should be. The problem is that neither party (the big 2) have any interest in really fixing it. Both the D’s & the R’s use it to garner political support. Still, no matter how you reform or streamline the process, immigration needs to be controlled. People immigrating into this country need to time to assimilate to the culture and establish themselves before the next wave is processed. This is what keeps a country and society healthy. Moreover, there’s no nation or state - historically speaking, that has survived endless waves of immigration.
Immigration is a tough process but theres a difference btwn immigrating from central and south america the carribeans europe etc vs Immigration/refugee status from cuba.. so in total honesty refugee status is a very long process yes but thanks to their communist countries they can claim refugee status vs asylum from an opressed country.. but i agree immigration in america needs to be overhauled and less complicated
I came to America 6 yrs ago, but I felt like I've known America since I was a kid. First day felt like I was reborn. Thus, I make sure I celebrate 4th of July in a special way and especially my husband is a US Marine Veteran. 3 months ago, I became a US citizen. I literaly cried that day, one of the happiest and proudest moment in my life. Forever grateful. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
@@jdanon203you're not wrong, but thankfully because of the system that was designed after the Declaration allows for debate and representation to make change. We did fight a war against ourselves to help facilitate the change from human ownership. We're far from perfect, but the goal is to work towards a more perfect union.
@@jdanon203 Good thing that came to an end here in the US. Unlike other countries that are still selling their people as slaves, starving them and have them living in dung homes. Conditions no human should live in *wink wink wink*
@@jdanon203 our founding fathers were wise enough to know if we did not put slavery on the back burner when we declared our independence, the great American experiment would’ve never gotten off the ground. I only wish people would dig a little deeper into our history to understand that. 😉😉😉😉🇺🇸
He just mentiined a fact...we are modern day slaves and the majority dint even know it.Its noy a cut down but reality. Don't believe me ?... Look at people ..and their masks and those willfully getting the Vax .
I love your story. I cried my eyes out watching your story. I am adopted my birth family is from Korea and Philippines I do not remember much but I do remember the pain of hunger. As I got older and decided to have my own family I vowed to never let my children feel that pain. So many here in the US do not realize how great we have it. I even have to remind myself from time to time. Thank you for your videos and I hope your story continues to grow.
Awesome. 🥰🇺🇸 I’m so glad you made it very special for him. My Mami is from Santo Espíritu de Cuba 🇨🇺 and they came over to the USA when Fidel first took over. God bless you two.
Si en esta mujer mi sangre es Cubana porque soy una mujer fuerte como tantos en Cuba. Yo nacido en los estados unidos en New jersey y todo mi familia esta en Haileah, Miami, y West Palm Beach FL pero todavía tenemos familia en Cuba. Aprecio tu historia porque pude ver la isla que mi madre amaba tanto y quería regresar, pero no mientras Fidel estaba vivo. Mi madre murió en 2006 por lo que no pude volver a Cuba. Volveré un día por ella cuando Cuba esté libre de ese régimen. Que Dios bendiga y voy a rezar para su familia y hija en Cuba.
It's so heartwarming to see Yoel enjoying and appreciating America and celebrating our Independence Day. So many take for granted how great America is. My heart breaks for the people in Cuba. Hopefully we stay the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
My son-in-law (for over 30 years) is Puerto Rican. I had my doubts about him initially, but through the years we have become very fond of one another. One night (the night my son-in-law’s mother died) the air conditioning broke. (Very bad news in San Antonio). A Cuban handyman showed up with his 10 year old daughter (It was late & he didn’t want to leave her alone). She ended up hanging out with me. (A 60-ish white lady) We sat on the couch and talked for almost 2 hours. Later on, my son-in-law (who speaks fluent Spanish) told me that the little Cubano girl loved talking to me. I loved talking to her too. I wish a good & prosperous life for her & for you. Immigrants are the backbone of my country. Best of luck & life to you both.
Can we please exchange all our home grown communists with people begging to live in capitalism from around the world? I love seeing happy immigrants. I’m going to cry when this man becomes an American 🇺🇸
I had tears in my eyes watching this video. As an American sometimes I take for granted my country and our freedom. You both have given me a reality check and made me reflect on how lucky I am to be an American. I live in Idaho close to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. I hope some day you can visit these beautiful National Parks. Give me a holler if you come and I will take you horse riding. I'm renovating a 1800's cabin on my property. You are welcome anytime after it is finished. Take care.
Your videos are reawakening my pride in this country. We may be diverse,divided,and contentious at times,..but in the end we are Americans,and we are very proud of our country. Thank you for sharing your stories!😁😁
My grandfather came to the States from Cuba when he was a little boy. He always wanted to go back to visit but would not go back as long as Castro ran Cuba. He died with that hope that he could go back to Cuba but it never happened for him. My heart breaks for my people who go through so much. It is so sad.
I'm so happy that Joel was so blessed to come to America and experience our freedom that so many take for granted. I wish all Americans had his beautiful expressions of appreciation for our freedoms. I am a native Phoenician and now live in Sun City, in my younger years I would have loved to be your friend; but unfortunately I'm bedridden now. I'm so happy for you both. Welcome to America Joel, welcome!
God Bless you both and welcome to the USA. My wife is from Mexico and we have been married for 19 years and have 3 wonderful boys. The best of luck and many prayers for you both!!!
Welcome Yoel, you came here the right way. You didn't take the easy way around our laws. That makes you one of us. Glad to have you with us. And Yoel don't let anyone give you crapp about your belly, you earned it lol.. And Mari, if his water breaks get him straight to the hospital before he begins to push....😜
Legal immigrants are what make this country great, and his appreciation for everything he has gained since making it to the US shines through in every single video. Seeing immigrants like Yoel give me hope for the future of the United States.
As an American that my ancestors came from Ireland before the Revolutionary War it is easy to slip into complacency because my ancestors landed here multiple generations ago but through your eyes I see what they must have felt coming to America. Thank you for your joy, appreciation & pride of being here. Welcome to America!
It really is easy for anyone born here to take everything for granted. Sure America is still going through a lot but nothing like what's happening in Cuba and other countries around the world. Seeing Yoel's face lit up watching fireworks was downright magical. My dad is an immigrant from Mexico and he's worked hard for a long time to provide the life for his kids that he never had. Welcome to America, Yoel. I hope you'll have the same freedoms in Cuba someday. ❤
I'm happy for you both, to be in this country. I hope you realize, that there are a large group of people here, that want to change this country into a place like Cuba now. I hope you can spread your experiences to those very people.
Thank you! I am always glad to hear this phrase of America being a country built by immigrants. Americans tend to forget that unless you are one of the first nations, you are also an immigrant. My family came here from Scotland and we have never let our family forget those roots (good, bad, or in between). I wish you and yours the very best and hope you have a long lifetime of fun and happiness in the states!
900th like….I’m kinda a big deal xD Also welcome to the US!! My political belief and leaning is Conservative Republican. Like many of us I am all for immigration and I absolutely want you guys here! The biggest issue I think people miss or conflate is when we say legal immigration (like a work visa, green card, marriage and naturalization). We want everyone we can get that believe in our countries values, our culture and can help build our economy! I am third generation American btw haha P.S. We need more people like y’all (1st hand accounts) spreading this message of how dangerous socialism/communism truly is God Bless Both Of You!!
Who could be so miserable to thumbs down this video people really need to humble themselves . I appreciate the videos you make and am happy you get to enjoy and appreciate the luxuries our wonderful country affords us all. I hope you continue to share with others and change the narrative that is currently being spread here. Welcome friends I hope many more of your family and friends can some day change Cuba to have the same freedoms as well .
I'm so glad Yoel had a great 4th of July experience!! I truly love my people, and my country, and I am happy he is now a fellow American (paperwork pending, I believe lol). He is absolutely right, on all accounts! Also, for future videos it would be interesting to see Yoel react to something like Hamilton, that tells the story of one our founding fathers who was also an immigrant like himself. I think it would be really interesting to see a fellow immigrants take on something like that. Many Blessings ~ from Kentucky.
@Doug Sawyer if two opposing sides spend all their time attacking eachother and expecting things to change aren't they BOTH at fault when no progress is made? You know the definition of insanity? You seem pissed off at the entire world but clearly aren't willing to comprmise or at the very least listen. This country wasn't made great based off of one sides ideas and that one side only. This country was made great based off of the fundamental value that one side isn't in complete control over the majority of people. To share and mix ideas for the betterment of the American PEOPLE. Not for your own selfish gains and values. It doesn't have to be THIS or THAT only. Seems like both sides are fine with the country burning to the ground as long as they can keep arguing with eachother like morons.
BRAVO! Wonderful videos. It's nearly impossible to watch these without smiling and laughing with the occasional tear up. The fact that Yoel isn't exactly a poke in the eye with a sharp stick makes it even more fun!
So glad you both are here! We need these kinds of stories to maintain, or in some cases gain, perspective. Some of my childhood friends had parents who came from Cuba and talking to their grandma always made me proud to be an American.
Joel, please teach others in America that take this land for granted what you’ve lived and how bless this country is and how fragile it is. Ecstatic to see you enjoy the 4th and pray you enjoy many more
This is absolutely beautiful I teared up. Seeing his emotions when he talked about being in America, I was born here a lot of us who were born here could only hope to have the passion that he has for the United States of America. Thank you for sharing!!!!
This channel is my favorite find of 2021. It makes me appreciate this country and the beautifully mixed pot of people that make it what it is. We need more content like this
As American born citizen, I have always appreciated , (and yes took for granted), the freedoms our constitution gives us. I always applauded immigration to this country and was in aw of what the legal steps were to become a citizen. New citizens from other countries really had earn their ticket in. So....until recently, I was comfortable with the system........and I've seen a threat to our freedoms these past couple years and I'm p*ssed off big time. Your presenting what Yoel's first time experiences brings it all home as to just how important preserving this country's way of life is. Illegal immigration and giving them a free ticket paid for by real citizens is a nasty slap in the face of those who worked hard to gain their citizenship. Thank you and keep it up.
So happy for you! America's awesome. I just wish more felt that way these days. Please educate as many as you can about living under communism. Immigration is great. However, there's a process.
To Yoel; I am born and raised in the US and I understand how good I have it here and I am happy to see someone like you who appreciate and understands and appreciate the freedoms we have here in the US. i am happy you have your freedom now and enjoy this country. God Bless.
It IS great...for one night, its the 5th now and I'm struggling to sleep through the continued fireworks. But I guess whats a little sleep lost when compared to the celebration of something so great and precious. Let's all stick together this year everyone, we got something great here, let's not let it keep crumbling beneath us!✌
Everytime I see one of your videos I tear up, I know you make videos for good and makes people like myself realize how good we have it. Keep it up because If you know it or not you're helping someone going through dark times themselves.
I so love seeing your appreciation of this country .... in these times, it is a refreshing change!! (Can we trade our protesters for more Cuban people??)
These two understand what it is to be an American more than the majority of folks born here. So completely refreshing to see someone with as much gratitude for this country as my family carries everyday. I hope you’re able to visit some truly moving locations at some point: Mount Vernon, Monticello, Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the National Archives, Gettysburg, just to name a few. You’re grateful to be here but also know there are millions of your fellow Americans equally grateful to have you here.
I must say, it is not that we don’t have sympathy for the people who are trying to get into the country. We do. But there has to be a controlled way to go about it, not just illegally sneaking in and breaking the law. And now, with the global pandemic, it is a very dangerous situation. These people come with nothing, not even identification. There has to be a proper way to process all these people.
Awesome video, May I suggest seeing places like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellow Stone, MOAB, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Big Sur, Sequoia National Park
Thank you for sharing your experience with so many people. Not all of us who were born here take all this for granted but unfortunately, many people do especially the younger ones I really hope this channel will help to educate them.
As a 3rd generation American. I can say that we take for granted of we have here. Thank you both for sharing your life with us. It's an amazing eye opener.
my heart fills with pride when i watch your videos and see how proud you are to have been able to LEGALLY immigrate and how you've work so hard to become citizens. i agree with you. you 2 are some of the type of immigrants that this country needs and should want to have. as someone born in this country, i am very proud to have you here.
I'm so happy you got to be here for the 4th of July! Yes, we ALL are immigrants. I was born here but, my dads family came from Prussia which was forced to become German. They defected to America. My mom's family is from Poland, the also defected to America.
You remind me to always be proud & grateful to live in this country. Thank you for coming here, I imagine that it wasn't easy but you as an immigrant help to make this country great. My grandparents were immigrants also, one side from Sweden & the other from France.
I complete agree with Yoel... we need to remember how lucky we are. many take our freedoms for granted. I love watching you both. Such a beautiful couple. 😍
We celebrated New Year's eve on 1999 in Miami and honestly the Cubans had so much fun we just sat back and enjoyed them enjoying life! I'll never have that much fun as long as I live! I could repeat that night every night forever!!
Yoel, I hope you never feel like an outsider in america, or that you don’t belong. You are an American! This country us yours! Don’t ever forget that. People just like you are the reason why this country is so great. And I am so happy to see you working and living your dreams. god bless you both!
And Mari, take Yoel to the top of South Mountain on night and let him see the whole Valley lit up and the planes landing at Sky Harbor...it's a really great view
@@petegarrido5406 I graduated both high school and college in the '80s and never saw a Che t-shirt or patch anywhere...and now I see both as well as Che and Mao tattoos.
Thank you, both for reminding us, of who we are and how privileged that we are allowed to be. We all need, that boost you have given us, who have seen your story, that our heart are replenished, of our pride in the work our forefathers have left us. I welcome you and your open hearts, to the gifts we all share. Now we share with you. 💜💞💗
All human beings deserve the basic right to own their property - including the ownership of your mind and body. We hope those rights protected here are appreciated.
I love the humanity of Yoel, as in every scene, experience I can tell he his happy but at the same time triste because he wishes his gente could have the same freedom and experiences.
I am happy you were able to come to our wonderful country. You are so right, this freedom is worth fighting for. Also we need to ask God for his continued blessings on us.
Yoel I agree with you, and the United States DOES help many immigrants that want to come to this country, HOWEVER, if our door was open to all and anyone that wanted to come in there would not be enough room. I agree we should increase the amount we currently take in legally....but how do you decide??????
Believe me, your country would not be "too full." That's a ridiculous statement. Fill up the midwest with more than a tiny little village every 300 miles then you can say that. China has about 9.6 million sq kms and 1.4 billion people. The US has 9.8 million sq kms and 330 million people. Unless you Americans think you're really so great that about a tenth of the world suddenly wants to move in with you, I think you're fine. You guys really need to get over you immigrant fears. They are literally the backbone of your country.
This type of thinking is anti immigrant and flawed. Do you realize right now without immigrants the U.S. would be losing population? We simply don't reproduce enough to keep up with our deaths. That means if we didn't have immigrants our country would be shrinking. Let people come here that want to work and live free. We have plenty of room. Don't act like every person in the world wants to come here either. Sure lots of people do, but there are plenty of other countries with just as good if not better quality of life than the U.S. Yes we are very lucky you live here. Im sure many in China, France, Sweden, Canada, Australia ect. Wouldn't trade their quality of life for ours though.
@@g-urts5518 no, existing Americans are the backbone of our country. Those that have been here for generations, raised families, built communities, fought in wars, and believe in the constitution and stand for the flag. That’s our backbone, don’t get it twisted. Ideally, immigrants who want to be here and would be proud to be America should be welcomed. However we have to many immigrants who come here, hate the country and the people, and take the money and run. As for your brilliant idea of inundating less populated areas, it would fail miserably due to the resources needed and the local infrastructure. Maybe worry about your own country, you could at least seem like you know what your talking about instead of removing all doubt.
@@g-urts5518 Dude you're talking out ya ass...So you want the countrysides vanished ? The Midwest ? How about Urban centers taking in those immigrants instead. ? We need to stop supporting corrupt regimes around the world . Only the people in Cuba will change Cuba...and it will come to a boiling point one day .
In the past 20 years or so, America has become Cuba when it comes to freedom of protest and opinions. On paper, it still says that people are “free”, but in practice the government turns a blind eye to destructive “protests” when they have the correct opinion (blm), but then crack down immiediately on protests when they have the wrong opinion (republican). At least Cuba has the decency to openly state that such opinions/protests are illegal. What we have instead is anarcho-tyranny (government selectively applying law). As this continues, America will become like Cuba in more and more ways.
Our last president had a bunch of protesters gassed to clear them out for a photo op in which he held a bible upside down in front of a church. I mean people in this country need to wake up. We're already there. Add in laws that will keep making it harder and harder to vote to change things, and we're pretty much on a path that will lead to a violent end of the country if not by the end of your life, then certainly during your kids' lifetimes. At this point I am merely hoping the dissolution of the U.S. can be done peacefully and everyone can then be happy and get what they want in the end.
My grandfather was an immigrant from the Azore Islands and settled in the San Francisco Bay area. He ALWAYS told his children and grandchildren how lucky we were to be born in the US and to have a voice in the government. Boy do we have our problems! But every family does. And no matter how much we may bicker with each other we still love our American Family. Welcome Yoel to our family.
Once he's done experiencing the ability to eat all that he wants and what he wants maybe he will eat a little healthier. Hopefully, he'll get there before it's a chore to lose the weight.
You both are so awesome and I am so glad that you are here in America and get to experience freedom which all humans should have. You have a respect for our beautiful country America that many here take for granted. Welcome Yoel!!!!
All human beings should have basic human rights protected by their citizens. No matter what political spectrum you are on. We dedicate this to all immigrants seeking those freedoms, including Cubans.
Happy 4th of July to you both :) it's a magical day/night. Glad Yoel enjoyed his first one!!!
That's why we need to pay close attention to people running for president and others for holding office. Government is not for the everyday Joe. I don't care if there rich or poor they serve the rights of the people first.
I agree
7:45 America is called a melting pot, because all the different cultures melted down and became American.
The problem in the modern day, that people have with certain immigrants, Is they want to come here and keep the culture they have from their country.
This causes people to feel identification with the country and culture they came from, instead of unifying, into all being Americans.
The irish, the Italians these groups were once hated in the United States, and now are not seen as anything other than pure Americans.
These groups had the same dream and anyone that shares the American dream, can be American.
But if you come here, for free handouts, and want to live as if you were still in the country you came from. Then you don't have the American dream. You're just looking for an easier time , than you were previously having.
This is why Americans love Cubans!
You have hard-working people, who know how to fix everything, and they improve any neighborhood they move into.
You can always tell which house belongs to the Cuban family on the block, because it's always the most beautiful from the outside. Perfect grass, perfect plants, flowers ect.
Cubans that immigrate to the United States, also share the identical History of the United states. They're throwing off the shackles of tyranny, in pursuit of Liberty..... You cannot get more American than that.
@@Bozemanjustin Well Said.
As a disable d United States Marine Corps veteran it brings tears to my eyes watching as you two enjoy the freedoms that I fought so hard for my country to have! Please note they are tears of joy and happiness that I've done my part to help keep this country free to help others like yourselves!
Thank you for your service
Thanks for the sacrifice you made to contributeto keep this country free. My little brother has been in the army for 20 plus years
Thank you, Sir, for your service and sacrifice!!! I am an American that truly appreciates and celebrates my freedoms and the amazing, selfless men and women who have fought and are still fighting for us!!! I truly hate that you had to come home disabled. You are a true hero in my book.
Thank you for your service Sr. I’m an immigrant myself. Without heroes like you this country wouldn’t be the envy of the world, thanks once again and happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for your service and for protecting our freedoms.
I am touched by his love for the USA many citizens of this country could learn much from this fine man.
I could not agree more.
So true so true
Yeah I think sometimes people need to be reminded how lucky and blessed we are to be Americans. And some like Yoel who grew up in Cuba will always have an appreciation for democracy and capitalism.
I want to make my 15 year old watch these videos.
Nah my country is the best but I know it has issue. It’s still the best though
Awesome, I came to the US thirty years ago from Africa. We enjoy what was earned by those who gave their lives fighting for liberty and freedom, we don't only owe them all our gratitude and respect, but also keep our constitution alive and well.
👍👍👍
One of my best friends escaped the Mugabe regime in Zimbabwe and is one of the most patriotic American citizens I know.
He’s made my life richer by sharing his heritage, language and culture with me. That’s what makes this country so amazing.
Amen. As president Reagan warned, we are always only one generation away from losing our freedoms'. Praise to those few that fight for others every day!
And that's all anyone should ask of you also. Great to have you here my friend.
Make sure we elect people who respect and will protect the Constitution.
Can we have a exchange program with Cuba? They take the people that hate America and we take the people of Cuba that want freedom?
Great Idea. Let's let that current Olympian that just shunned the flag be the first to be 'exchanged' !
I would be willing to pay higher taxes to fund this program.
@@kswensen2481 that olympians protest is all American it’s wonderful when freedom works.
That would be half of America....Cuba has 12 million people.
😂. What a great idea!!
My parents came from Cuba in 62 and I can remember my mom saying as we got older “don’t let this country turn into a Cuba”
Sadly, in many ways it’s drifting that way…
The smile and happiness in his smile is the best 👌 WELCOME TO AMERICA 🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
Be careful and stay safe all of you because some people want to bring back socialism in the blue (Democratic) states but living in the red (Republican) states is safe so again be careful
To me I hate socialism and I will not bow down to corruption I’m happy Castro is dead
Go Cuba 🇨🇺 🇺🇸🇨🇺🇺🇸🇨🇺
@@jesemioramirez5283 That's bullshit
@@thegoodrevtim what’s BS
@@jesemioramirez5283 What does socialism give us? Police and fire departments, free schools, highways and biways, Social Security, child labor laws . . . and so much more. Hope you aren't enjoying any of these socialist benefits!
THIS IS MY AMERICA!!! Where a man with nothing but love in his heart and a thirst for freedom can come and BE the American Dream! Respect and love to both of you! #cubalibre
Liberty is sweet. Everyone should be enjoying it 😢
coming from a AMERCAN Hisanic like me. hearing how much respect for my Beautiful country you have gives me great pride of this land i call home. my family thanks you. hope you can accomplish all you can. may god hold you both and bless you.
What a wonderful video of Yoel’s first time celebrating Independence Day! More Americans should realize what a great country we have like he does! God bless the USA! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇
Thank you!!!
The speech in the end reminded me of why I joined the Marines. As a first gen American, I felt it was a duty of mine to uphold and support the freedoms that this lovely country provides. Welcome!
Thank you for your service!
Thank you!
Thank you for your service.
You said it. My sister, my brother, and I all joined the Army and Marine Corp. for the same reason except we are not immigrants. However, Yoel said it best that the US is made up of immigrants; and, we should want their freedom as much as our own. There are some I’ve met that look down their noses at people who serve in this country’s defense feeling superior to them. Without those who do serve, I dare say their freedom would not exist and I’m wondering if they would feel so superior and smug if that were the case.
Thank you!
I am so glad to have found this channel! I'm a 22 year old 4th gen American, so seeing my country that is so ingrained in me through an immigrants eyes is so valuable and wonderful to me. So many things are so easily taken for granted, especially my freedom of speech. I am so glad to call both of you fellow Americans. To all of my countrymen, let's all band together and make America an example of freedom, justice, and respect to the rest of the world. God bless!
I bought my husband a pair of those swimming trunks when we went to Houston for his cancer. He didn't win his battle with cancer. We are so happy the two of you are in America too. Yoel is correct America is worth it and we must keep America.
Not possible with the Biden regime though ...
So sorry for the loss of your husband. My bill (the bravest man I have ever met) was a patient there at MD Anderson for 9 years - he too lost the battle but got to see his girls grow up and that was very important to him. May you find peace and remembrance of your brave man also. God bless ...
@@sandragreen9560 What???????????
Oh my Gawd, how can you just not fall in love with this guy? We wish the absolute very best for both of you in America. I know you will find success and happiness, because you are willing to work for it. You will be a success Yoel and you will be happy. Remember Yoel, you are what makes America great, never forget it.
Honestly, this series should be required viewing for so many spoiled Americans who were graced with the privilege to be born in this great country and do nothing but complain about it! Your perspective is so beautiful and so heartfelt.
Exchange program.
@@duncemonkey14 , yes exactly! That would really wake up these "woke" ingrates!
there is a privilege to live here but we don't have to be sheepish patriots
@@Paulina-yi7xn pretty sure sheepish Patriot would be an oxymoron. Frankly if you're not confident in this country or you being shameful towards it you're probably not a patriot.🇺🇸
@@duncemonkey14 im not a patriot. if we dont criticize our country and its government there will be no improvement. thats why im against the "do nothing but complain" as if complaining about systems is a bad thing to do
I am glad Joel enjoyed his first United States 4th of July. Please know that while some Americans take this country for granted, others of us know how good we have it here and cherish every day. I know how fortunate I am and my son is. My grandparents came here from Portugal and Germany, making our life in Erica possible. I am thankful every day for their sacrifices
we want LEGAL IMMIGRANT, not those who skip the line
Exactly.
I'm not sure how I found this channel but I'm so happy I did.
Very glad he gets to see us so proud of our country especially on every July 4th. Welcome !!!!
Hes very happy to have the opportunity many do not to be here.
Thank you! Hope there is more people that appreciate what United state stands for!
THeres a ton!! Especially immigrants :)
Many Americans don't or can't understand the arduous process of immigration in our country. Legally, there must be better processes for immigration. Like someone on here said, we take our freedoms for granted & forget that this democracy was built on the backbones of our ancestors who came to this country seeking freedom from poverty, oppression & human injustices. Yeah Yoel & Mari for allowing others to see through your eyes the sacredness of freedom we Americans take for granted.
Yes, but no excuse for being illegal.
copy and paste that,
seeking freedom from poverty, oppression & human injustices.
I'm a native American
You’re right, there should be. The problem is that neither party (the big 2) have any interest in really fixing it. Both the D’s & the R’s use it to garner political support. Still, no matter how you reform or streamline the process, immigration needs to be controlled. People immigrating into this country need to time to assimilate to the culture and establish themselves before the next wave is processed. This is what keeps a country and society healthy. Moreover, there’s no nation or state - historically speaking, that has survived endless waves of immigration.
Immigration is a tough process but theres a difference btwn immigrating from central and south america the carribeans europe etc vs Immigration/refugee status from cuba.. so in total honesty refugee status is a very long process yes but thanks to their communist countries they can claim refugee status vs asylum from an opressed country.. but i agree immigration in america needs to be overhauled and less complicated
I came to America 6 yrs ago, but I felt like I've known America since I was a kid. First day felt like I was reborn. Thus, I make sure I celebrate 4th of July in a special way and especially my husband is a US Marine Veteran. 3 months ago, I became a US citizen. I literaly cried that day, one of the happiest and proudest moment in my life. Forever grateful. 🇺🇸♥️🇺🇸

Ironically the guy that wrote that had over 100 slaves on his plantation at the time, but we know what he meant wink wink.
@@jdanon203you're not wrong, but thankfully because of the system that was designed after the Declaration allows for debate and representation to make change. We did fight a war against ourselves to help facilitate the change from human ownership. We're far from perfect, but the goal is to work towards a more perfect union.
@@jdanon203 Good thing that came to an end here in the US. Unlike other countries that are still selling their people as slaves, starving them and have them living in dung homes. Conditions no human should live in *wink wink wink*
@@jdanon203 our founding fathers were wise enough to know if we did not put slavery on the back burner when we declared our independence, the great American experiment would’ve never gotten off the ground. I only wish people would dig a little deeper into our history to understand that. 😉😉😉😉🇺🇸
He just mentiined a fact...we are modern day slaves and the majority dint even know it.Its noy a cut down but reality. Don't believe me ?... Look at people ..and their masks and those willfully getting the Vax .
This country is so lucky to have you two joining us. Welcome, welcome, welcome!
I love your story. I cried my eyes out watching your story. I am adopted my birth family is from Korea and Philippines I do not remember much but I do remember the pain of hunger. As I got older and decided to have my own family I vowed to never let my children feel that pain. So many here in the US do not realize how great we have it. I even have to remind myself from time to time. Thank you for your videos and I hope your story continues to grow.
Awesome. 🥰🇺🇸 I’m so glad you made it very special for him. My Mami is from Santo Espíritu de Cuba 🇨🇺 and they came over to the USA when Fidel first took over. God bless you two.
gracias cubanita!!!
Si en esta mujer mi sangre es Cubana porque soy una mujer fuerte como tantos en Cuba. Yo nacido en los estados unidos en New jersey y todo mi familia esta en Haileah, Miami, y West Palm Beach FL pero todavía tenemos familia en Cuba. Aprecio tu historia porque pude ver la isla que mi madre amaba tanto y quería regresar, pero no mientras Fidel estaba vivo. Mi madre murió en 2006 por lo que no pude volver a Cuba. Volveré un día por ella cuando Cuba esté libre de ese régimen. Que Dios bendiga y voy a rezar para su familia y hija en Cuba.
It's so heartwarming to see Yoel enjoying and appreciating America and celebrating our Independence Day. So many take for granted how great America is. My heart breaks for the people in Cuba. Hopefully we stay the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

My son-in-law (for over 30 years) is Puerto Rican. I had my doubts about him initially, but through the years we have become very fond of one another.
One night (the night my son-in-law’s mother died) the air conditioning broke. (Very bad news in San Antonio). A Cuban handyman showed up with his 10 year old daughter (It was late & he didn’t want to leave her alone). She ended up hanging out with me. (A 60-ish white lady) We sat on the couch and talked for almost 2 hours. Later on, my son-in-law (who speaks fluent Spanish) told me that the little Cubano girl loved talking to me. I loved talking to her too. I wish a good & prosperous life for her & for you. Immigrants are the backbone of my country. Best of luck & life to you both.
Can we please exchange all our home grown communists with people begging to live in capitalism from around the world? I love seeing happy immigrants. I’m going to cry when this man becomes an American 🇺🇸
Can we exchange all MAGA's for undocumented immigrants who are harder workers than most Americans.
@@bluepunk559 can we exchange all woke new age democrats who sympathize with socialist views?
I had tears in my eyes watching this video. As an American sometimes I take for granted my country and our freedom. You both have given me a reality check and made me reflect on how lucky I am to be an American.
I live in Idaho close to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. I hope some day you can visit these beautiful National Parks. Give me a holler if you come and I will take you horse riding. I'm renovating a 1800's cabin on my property. You are welcome anytime after it is finished. Take care.
Your videos are reawakening my pride in this country. We may be diverse,divided,and contentious at times,..but in the end we are Americans,and we are very proud of our country. Thank you for sharing your stories!😁😁
My grandfather came to the States from Cuba when he was a little boy. He always wanted to go back to visit but would not go back as long as Castro ran Cuba. He died with that hope that he could go back to Cuba but it never happened for him. My heart breaks for my people who go through so much. It is so sad.
I'm so happy that Joel was so blessed to come to America and experience our freedom that so many take for granted. I wish all Americans had his beautiful expressions of appreciation for our freedoms. I am a native Phoenician and now live in Sun City, in my younger years I would have loved to be your friend; but unfortunately I'm bedridden now. I'm so happy for you both. Welcome to America Joel, welcome!
God Bless you both and welcome to the USA. My wife is from Mexico and we have been married for 19 years and have 3 wonderful boys. The best of luck and many prayers for you both!!!
yeahhhh your first 4th of july woo hoo enjoy the freedom Yoel,lots of blessings for you both
thank you!!!
Welcome Yoel, you came here the right way. You didn't take the easy way around our laws. That makes you one of us. Glad to have you with us. And Yoel don't let anyone give you crapp about your belly, you earned it lol..
And Mari, if his water breaks get him straight to the hospital before he begins to push....😜
Legal immigrants are what make this country great, and his appreciation for everything he has gained since making it to the US shines through in every single video. Seeing immigrants like Yoel give me hope for the future of the United States.
Hah! Yoel understands the American struggle of the expanding waistline, he's one of us now. I'm so glad that you guys enjoyed your first 4th!
As an American that my ancestors came from Ireland before the Revolutionary War it is easy to slip into complacency because my ancestors landed here multiple generations ago but through your eyes I see what they must have felt coming to America. Thank you for your joy, appreciation & pride of being here. Welcome to America!
Rain in Phoenix? Oh, yes, that IS special! Rain in the desert is a rare gift.
I love rainy season (monsoon) in Arizona.
@@JudyHart1 moved away a few years ago and thats the one thing I miss. Monsoon season and the smell of wet dirt! Lol I'm a desert dweller at heart.
Congratulations Yoel on your first 4th of July. Wishes for more to come.
Congratulations!!! Sooo happy for both of you❤️
Our Constitution is our most cherished document and keeps us free. God Bless America!!!!
It really is easy for anyone born here to take everything for granted. Sure America is still going through a lot but nothing like what's happening in Cuba and other countries around the world. Seeing Yoel's face lit up watching fireworks was downright magical. My dad is an immigrant from Mexico and he's worked hard for a long time to provide the life for his kids that he never had. Welcome to America, Yoel. I hope you'll have the same freedoms in Cuba someday. ❤
We must never let a dictator take away our democracy, our freedom to vote and all our other freedoms!
I'm happy for you both, to be in this country. I hope you realize, that there are a large group of people here, that want to change this country into a place like Cuba now. I hope you can spread your experiences to those very people.
Thank you! I am always glad to hear this phrase of America being a country built by immigrants. Americans tend to forget that unless you are one of the first nations, you are also an immigrant. My family came here from Scotland and we have never let our family forget those roots (good, bad, or in between). I wish you and yours the very best and hope you have a long lifetime of fun and happiness in the states!
900th like….I’m kinda a big deal xD
Also welcome to the US!!
My political belief and leaning is Conservative Republican. Like many of us I am all for immigration and I absolutely want you guys here!
The biggest issue I think people miss or conflate is when we say legal immigration (like a work visa, green card, marriage and naturalization). We want everyone we can get that believe in our countries values, our culture and can help build our economy! I am third generation American btw haha
P.S. We need more people like y’all (1st hand accounts) spreading this message of how dangerous socialism/communism truly is
God Bless Both Of You!!
Good point.
Exactly!
Who could be so miserable to thumbs down this video people really need to humble themselves . I appreciate the videos you make and am happy you get to enjoy and appreciate the luxuries our wonderful country affords us all. I hope you continue to share with others and change the narrative that is currently being spread here. Welcome friends I hope many more of your family and friends can some day change Cuba to have the same freedoms as well .
I'm so glad Yoel had a great 4th of July experience!! I truly love my people, and my country, and I am happy he is now a fellow American (paperwork pending, I believe lol). He is absolutely right, on all accounts! Also, for future videos it would be interesting to see Yoel react to something like Hamilton, that tells the story of one our founding fathers who was also an immigrant like himself. I think it would be really interesting to see a fellow immigrants take on something like that. Many Blessings ~ from Kentucky.
@Doug Sawyer if two opposing sides spend all their time attacking eachother and expecting things to change aren't they BOTH at fault when no progress is made? You know the definition of insanity? You seem pissed off at the entire world but clearly aren't willing to comprmise or at the very least listen. This country wasn't made great based off of one sides ideas and that one side only. This country was made great based off of the fundamental value that one side isn't in complete control over the majority of people. To share and mix ideas for the betterment of the American PEOPLE. Not for your own selfish gains and values. It doesn't have to be THIS or THAT only. Seems like both sides are fine with the country burning to the ground as long as they can keep arguing with eachother like morons.
BRAVO! Wonderful videos. It's nearly impossible to watch these without smiling and laughing with the occasional tear up. The fact that Yoel isn't exactly a poke in the eye with a sharp stick makes it even more fun!
So glad you both are here! We need these kinds of stories to maintain, or in some cases gain, perspective. Some of my childhood friends had parents who came from Cuba and talking to their grandma always made me proud to be an American.
Congratulations..welcome to America..I was born here..and I cry every fourth of July...God bless you
thank you very much!
Joel, please teach others in America that take this land for granted what you’ve lived and how bless this country is and how fragile it is. Ecstatic to see you enjoy the 4th and pray you enjoy many more
This is absolutely beautiful I teared up. Seeing his emotions when he talked about being in America, I was born here a lot of us who were born here could only hope to have the passion that he has for the United States of America. Thank you for sharing!!!!
This channel is my favorite find of 2021. It makes me appreciate this country and the beautifully mixed pot of people that make it what it is. We need more content like this
So happy to see Yoel really understands what independence day means to us.
As American born citizen, I have always appreciated , (and yes took for granted), the freedoms our constitution gives us. I always applauded immigration to this country and was in aw of what the legal steps were to become a citizen. New citizens from other countries really had earn their ticket in. So....until recently, I was comfortable with the system........and I've seen a threat to our freedoms these past couple years and I'm p*ssed off big time. Your presenting what Yoel's first time experiences brings it all home as to just how important preserving this country's way of life is. Illegal immigration and giving them a free ticket paid for by real citizens is a nasty slap in the face of those who worked hard to gain their citizenship. Thank you and keep it up.
So happy for you! America's awesome. I just wish more felt that way these days. Please educate as many as you can about living under communism.
Immigration is great. However, there's a process.
To Yoel; I am born and raised in the US and I understand how good I have it here and I am happy to see someone like you who appreciate and understands and appreciate the freedoms we have here in the US. i am happy you have your freedom now and enjoy this country. God Bless.
It IS great...for one night, its the 5th now and I'm struggling to sleep through the continued fireworks.
But I guess whats a little sleep lost when compared to the celebration of something so great and precious.
Let's all stick together this year everyone, we got something great here, let's not let it keep crumbling beneath us!✌
LOVE watching him enjoy this great country It’s a shame other have forgotten how great it is here!!
Its very sad. we live in a great place!
This what makes our country great because of emigration and the freedom to vote and the freedom to speak your mind.
YES!!!
Everytime I see one of your videos I tear up, I know you make videos for good and makes people like myself realize how good we have it. Keep it up because If you know it or not you're helping someone going through dark times themselves.
Wow, thank you
I so love seeing your appreciation of this country .... in these times, it is a refreshing change!! (Can we trade our protesters for more Cuban people??)
These two understand what it is to be an American more than the majority of folks born here. So completely refreshing to see someone with as much gratitude for this country as my family carries everyday. I hope you’re able to visit some truly moving locations at some point: Mount Vernon, Monticello, Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the National Archives, Gettysburg, just to name a few. You’re grateful to be here but also know there are millions of your fellow Americans equally grateful to have you here.
I must say, it is not that we don’t have sympathy for the people who are trying to get into the country. We do. But there has to be a controlled way to go about it, not just illegally sneaking in and breaking the law. And now, with the global pandemic, it is a very dangerous situation. These people come with nothing, not even identification. There has to be a proper way to process all these people.
Bingo!
Every American should watch all of these videos. We have no idea how fortunate we really are.
Awesome video, May I suggest seeing places like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Yellow Stone, MOAB, Red Rock Canyon, Valley of Fire, Big Sur, Sequoia National Park
Thank you for sharing your experience with so many people. Not all of us who were born here take all this for granted but unfortunately, many people do especially the younger ones I really hope this channel will help to educate them.
Maybe a community goal … let’s try to get you two into DC for the 4th next year or soon after !!
As a 3rd generation American. I can say that we take for granted of we have here. Thank you both for sharing your life with us. It's an amazing eye opener.
this really got me when he said that people born here don’t realize what they have... look around it’s more true now than ever
my heart fills with pride when i watch your videos and see how proud you are to have been able to LEGALLY immigrate and how you've work so hard to become citizens. i agree with you. you 2 are some of the type of immigrants that this country needs and should want to have. as someone born in this country, i am very proud to have you here.
I'm so happy you got to be here for the 4th of July! Yes, we ALL are immigrants. I was born here but, my dads family came from Prussia which was forced to become German. They defected to America. My mom's family is from Poland, the also defected to America.
You remind me to always be proud & grateful to live in this country. Thank you for coming here, I imagine that it wasn't easy but you as an immigrant help to make this country great. My grandparents were immigrants also, one side from Sweden & the other from France.
Me alegro mucho que lo disfrutaron tanto!! Qu dios bendiga a lose Estados Unidos y a Los Cubanos! Espero que la libertad llega allá.
I complete agree with Yoel... we need to remember how lucky we are. many take our freedoms for granted. I love watching you both. Such a beautiful couple. 😍
We are not a democracy, WE ARE A REPUBLIC! LEARN THE DIFFERENCE IT'S IMPORTANT!
Operation Mockingbird. But Im glad to see Yoel loving this country!
Well you have, so why not share it with us!
We celebrated New Year's eve on 1999 in Miami and honestly the Cubans had so much fun we just sat back and enjoyed them enjoying life! I'll never have that much fun as long as I live! I could repeat that night every night forever!!
He was speaking Truth at the end there
Yoel, I hope you never feel like an outsider in america, or that you don’t belong. You are an American! This country us yours! Don’t ever forget that. People just like you are the reason why this country is so great. And I am so happy to see you working and living your dreams. god bless you both!
And in the States, a whole generation wears Che t shirts as a "fashion"...
And Mari, take Yoel to the top of South Mountain on night and let him see the whole Valley lit up and the planes landing at Sky Harbor...it's a really great view
Thats 3 generations old sport .
Really? Who's doing that?
@@petegarrido5406
I graduated both high school and college in the '80s and never saw a Che t-shirt or patch anywhere...and now I see both as well as Che and Mao tattoos.
@@TheCpage66 were you in a big liberal city ? There's the liberal enclaves then there's America .
Thank you, both for reminding us, of who we are and how privileged that we are allowed to be. We all need, that boost you have given us, who have seen your story, that our heart are replenished, of our pride in the work our forefathers have left us. I welcome you and your open hearts, to the gifts we all share. Now we share with you. 💜💞💗
Great video and welcome to America.
Dear Yoel and Mari,
Thank you, so much for choosing America as your home. God bless both of you. Stay safe, stay well
Really puts things into perspective.
All human beings deserve the basic right to own their property - including the ownership of your mind and body. We hope those rights protected here are appreciated.
I love the humanity of Yoel, as in every scene, experience I can tell he his happy but at the same time triste because he wishes his gente could have the same freedom and experiences.
💯❕ Just come through the front door and we all good!
Not sure if Yoel knows what "fits" means. Technically true that he fit those shorts. He wore them well tho.
hahahahaha
He's gettin a dad bod lol
You guys are great! All the best to you both ❤
I wish we could bring every freedom loving Cuban here and send them our spoiled socialist wannabes instead.
Would sort of contradict the idea of having freedom.
I am happy you were able to come to our wonderful country. You are so right, this freedom is worth fighting for. Also we need to ask God for his continued blessings on us.
thank you so much kathryn!
Yoel I agree with you, and the United States DOES help many immigrants that want to come to this country, HOWEVER, if our door was open to all and anyone that wanted to come in there would not be enough room. I agree we should increase the amount we currently take in legally....but how do you decide??????
Believe me, your country would not be "too full." That's a ridiculous statement. Fill up the midwest with more than a tiny little village every 300 miles then you can say that.
China has about 9.6 million sq kms and 1.4 billion people. The US has 9.8 million sq kms and 330 million people.
Unless you Americans think you're really so great that about a tenth of the world suddenly wants to move in with you, I think you're fine. You guys really need to get over you immigrant fears. They are literally the backbone of your country.
@@g-urts5518 you do realize that those wide open spaces in the Midwest grow food for half the world don't you?
This type of thinking is anti immigrant and flawed. Do you realize right now without immigrants the U.S. would be losing population? We simply don't reproduce enough to keep up with our deaths. That means if we didn't have immigrants our country would be shrinking. Let people come here that want to work and live free. We have plenty of room. Don't act like every person in the world wants to come here either. Sure lots of people do, but there are plenty of other countries with just as good if not better quality of life than the U.S. Yes we are very lucky you live here. Im sure many in China, France, Sweden, Canada, Australia ect. Wouldn't trade their quality of life for ours though.
@@g-urts5518 no, existing Americans are the backbone of our country. Those that have been here for generations, raised families, built communities, fought in wars, and believe in the constitution and stand for the flag. That’s our backbone, don’t get it twisted. Ideally, immigrants who want to be here and would be proud to be America should be welcomed. However we have to many immigrants who come here, hate the country and the people, and take the money and run. As for your brilliant idea of inundating less populated areas, it would fail miserably due to the resources needed and the local infrastructure. Maybe worry about your own country, you could at least seem like you know what your talking about instead of removing all doubt.
@@g-urts5518 Dude you're talking out ya ass...So you want the countrysides vanished ? The Midwest ? How about Urban centers taking in those immigrants instead. ? We need to stop supporting corrupt regimes around the world .
Only the people in Cuba will change Cuba...and it will come to a boiling point one day .
God bless you two. And God bless America!!!
In the past 20 years or so, America has become Cuba when it comes to freedom of protest and opinions. On paper, it still says that people are “free”, but in practice the government turns a blind eye to destructive “protests” when they have the correct opinion (blm), but then crack down immiediately on protests when they have the wrong opinion (republican). At least Cuba has the decency to openly state that such opinions/protests are illegal. What we have instead is anarcho-tyranny (government selectively applying law). As this continues, America will become like Cuba in more and more ways.
Our last president had a bunch of protesters gassed to clear them out for a photo op in which he held a bible upside down in front of a church. I mean people in this country need to wake up. We're already there. Add in laws that will keep making it harder and harder to vote to change things, and we're pretty much on a path that will lead to a violent end of the country if not by the end of your life, then certainly during your kids' lifetimes. At this point I am merely hoping the dissolution of the U.S. can be done peacefully and everyone can then be happy and get what they want in the end.
My grandfather was an immigrant from the Azore Islands and settled in the San Francisco Bay area. He ALWAYS told his children and grandchildren how lucky we were to be born in the US and to have a voice in the government. Boy do we have our problems! But every family does. And no matter how much we may bicker with each other we still love our American Family. Welcome Yoel to our family.
Stop...eating all of that good ol' American food, as I said, you'll be fat like us😀😲
Once he's done experiencing the ability to eat all that he wants and what he wants maybe he will eat a little healthier. Hopefully, he'll get there before it's a chore to lose the weight.
It’s all about moderation and exercise. I eat ice cream and good food everyday and I’m still skinny
Its so Cub an secret police cant drag him back /s
You both are so awesome and I am so glad that you are here in America and get to experience freedom which all humans should have. You have a respect for our beautiful country America that many here take for granted. Welcome Yoel!!!!
