    Robert you are the poster person immigrant of America. You see abundant opportunity and reach for it. No welfare No medical insurance No handouts . Your parents had their pride and fortitude to realize this country gave them Freedom and a future that Cuba sadly didn’t. Bravo to them and you. You just gave such an Inspirational story for all of us to reflect on. God Bless America. Merry Christmas

      Don't be ignorant Cubans received a lots of help once in U.S. from the gov and from other sources.
      Every single immigrant get some kind of freebee even those homesteaders whom the U.S. gov gave a big chunk of land seized from the indians back in the westward immigration...and so on

      @@franciscogil6798 I'm not Cuban, but I grew up in Miami, and frankly you don't know what you're talking about. I was in elementary school in the 1960s and we went from no Cuban schoolmates to lots of them as the families came over from Cuba. Typically, the parents of my Cuban schoolmates started small businesses in Miami. They were very successful and I never met a Miami Cuban on welfare back then.

    Robert, you're an inspiration! Our stories are quite similar. I was born in Havana, fled communism at the age of five and lived in Madrid for three years. We then came to the US. Grew up in NJ and my desire to thank this great country and love for travel saw me enlist in the USAF. Got to travel the world several times over. Now, I get in my RV every time I get an opportunity. Keep those videos coming!

      Cubans have a reputation of being politically conservative after experiencing the Castro years, but he replaced the other end of the political extreme in the dictator Batista. Bottom line, both ends of the political spectrum are mirror images in the way they control and utilize power over their people.

I feel that they will have to experience what you and your family had to face in a communist controlled government before they can appreciate the freedoms already available for them here.

      You’re missing something here. They had to have 3 years worth of medical care, etc. etc. I believe a sponsor. This program was for the people who had money. In the beginning of the 20th century, your ancestors and mine probably came without a dime and were welcomed to make a go of it. He’s obviously a role model, but don’t think to compare it to the truly destitute who are coming to America out of deepest poverty and sometimes for safety.

    Robert, you are an example why most Americans welcome those who desire to immigrate here. Isn't it ironic that evil governments have to put up walls to keep their citizens from fleeing their country, while freedom loving countries need to put up walls to protect itself from the hordes of people fleeing from desperate situations. My wife is from Colombia, while she is a happy US citizen, in her heart she is still Colombian. But she does not want to ever live in Colombia again as she enjoys the freedom of the USA and the opportunity the USA has for our children.
