I like that Peter is showing that most of the people in the US are normal and not these crazy people that the media shows.
Media is just here for advertising clicks at all cost. Anyone with some intelligence should be able to see it’s all bs.
Media is just here to drive us apart.
The corporate media is a bloodthirsty machine you are better off ignoring all together. (edit: mainstream changed to corporate, they are no longer mainstream.)
Can you imagine how obnoxious they’ll be if Officer Chauvin gets acquitted?!
@@ravensfan1825 he will be so there can be more chaos and riots.
As an American who’s family came here from Italy and Ireland in the 1800s, I really love the Cuban attitude and culture in the states. Amazing group of people.
Indeed they remind me of my Grand dad from Sicily! Maybe that's why my best friend and best man to my wedding is ... Cuban! :)
THANKS 🙏 FROM A CUBAN AMERICAN 🇨🇺 🇺🇸
That’s because we are similar in culture. Actually, very true! My dad’s Cuban but his family comes from Galicia, which is a Spanish province. But culturally, we are similar to the Irish, since we have Celtic roots. Many Cubans have Galician ancestry, so it’s really not strange that you can relate. We are so similar!
Thank you!
In the 1800? Lmao
As a Vietnamese American whose family and parents fled communism after the war. I feel like Cuban Americans would understand us the most. We are the Cubans of California and they are the Vietnamese of Florida. I love the Cuban American stories, I feel that connection.
It is interesting you say that, we have noticed a lot of Vietnamese just as patriotic, Love from Hialeah
I lived in Miami when the Vietnamese came as exiles...We loved them!...They had the "Pastoritas" buildings in "Little Habana" so they could talk among neighbors and feel comfortable and preserve their culture in peace among us...I remember the older Cubans asking us kids to serve as interpreters so that they could socialize with us Cubans and exchange stories...Then little by little they started moving to California to be close to family and we were SOO SAD...Every now and then I go by that neighborhood and point out to people that fact that at one time it was all Vietnamese who rented those apartments...Cuba had a "China Town" and one of my aunts married a China boy...I have two half cousins who are half Chinese...Cubans love our Asian-Cubans...They even have love songs to our "Chinitos"...Here is the link to one of them...Many blessings, always...Enjoy!..."The Dove - La Paloma - With Lyrics & English Translation"...czcams.com/video/6Z4B8jqt2JM/video.html

Salvadorans fled to the us in the 80s cause of civil war. Dont know why cubans are the only ones you think will understand you
And we are the Cubans of Arizona
As a Cuban born and raised and living now in Miami for the past 15 years, I truly loved this video! We are very patriotic and extremely proud to live in this country! Amazing video 👌🏻

The man in the red checkered shirt (Teo) was dropping some truth bombs. Really enjoy the raw experiences you share through your videos Peter!
Is it possible to make a video with Teo? Would he be ok with that?
As a native South Floridian, this is the real Miami NOT Miami Beach.
Miami Beach is literally just tourists and crazy ppl that’s it lol

Im a Cuban who lives in Hialeah and this is an excellent documentary type video on this city. A lesson to all Americans don’t fall down the path of tyranny. Pursue hard work so that way we won’t need to leave again.

Having born in Vietnam, Teo was spitting the truth. People who have an opportunity to leave the socialist and communist systems to come to America love this country.
Come to Little Saigon in California to do a video!

Sorry
Im from the Netherlands and i would never leave this democratic social system that we got for the US. A backwards second world country filled with racists. No im good.
@@BanlieueBaby Lol.. your country has a capitalist economic system with social programs surrounding it. Exactly the same as here in Norway. The countries these people flee from are authoritarian socialists and communist. You know nothing about that life. America filled with racists? No any more than there is in the Netherlands 😂 You're spouting off main stream media horse💩 thinking you know what the actual country is like lmao
I live in OC too. Before that I lived in Detroit (Commiecrat Chernobyl) metro area. Unfortunately, there are many stupid people in California who keep voting for socialism. Most of them are American born, and have never lived in a socialist or communist country. California’s school system is in the dump too. A lot of kids can’t read, do math, or do science at their grade level. Yet, they keep pushing this CRT garbage in the public school system. I immigrated from Taiwan in 1988 at the age of 8. I traveled to China couple times a year for trade shows and business. I stopped going there after dictator Xi took over.
Im cuban American. Thank you for doing this video👍

If I can ask you question ? Do you recommend buying small condo like my home in Hialeah? I’m from Boston :-)

czcams.com/video/pgunVM6LL7s/video.html 🙏
What a beautiful video! I don't think you see homeless people because Cubans didn't come with the goal to be homeless. They are here with a mission. They came here with the goal to work. I love that mission. 💖🇨🇺
I am grateful that you took the time to speak to a native Hialeahian (just made that word up😊). The mainstream media seems to only highlight the negative things that occur in Hialeah. Very rarely do you see a piece on the news that highlights what you highlighted in this video. I just want to say THANK YOU!
I love my Hialeah community. I would like to add that even though the majority of the population doesn't speak much English. They are all very well educated and we'll prepared professional's Many already come with degrees from Cuba as Cuba is very Strict with education and family values. Thank you for visiting my beautiful city.
Most Cubans coming here are well educated. In Cuba education is stressed. When i came here as a young person I was ahead educational than the American children in my class. I was also taught to speak English as well.
Yay! So nice to see Hialeah on here. It’s pretty darn Cuban, let me tell you! But I really wish you would’ve gone into the southwest dade area too, where I’m from. Many Cubans that came in the 50s and 60s were highly educated members of society in Cuba. They ended up having to start from nothing here in the USA, and some even started in Miami Beach, washing dishes during the day and going to school at night. They’re true stories of success here in the USA. I want people to know about that side of Cuban Americans because it’s important. It’s important that people see the full nature of our culture and how we have contributed to this country in our totality. All of us. Hialeah is just the start. That’s not the only place we live in. Many of us grew up in the southwest part of dade, and we are still there. Also, Cubans come in all colors! And we are all scattered throughout the city. We are not like Americans that segregated blacks and whites. We are also a melting pot of people, and it’s evident in our culture. Our food, music, even our speech, it’s all highly influenced by black and Chinese immigrants to the island, in addition to Spainish immigrants, of course.
Cuban culture is without a doubt Afro Cuban. We are indeed una gente of many people and yes we do tend to like to keep our areas clean.
@@el-Cu9432 Cuban culture is not Afro Cuban. Afro Cuban is just one aspect , the same as black Americans in the US.
And some of the same racist attitudes.
Awww Peter I wish I could have seen you!! I'm a Cuban American living in Miami and I love my people 🇨🇺 we are so grateful to live in the land of freedom and opportunities 🇺🇸 I love all your videos. You are amazing. Thank you for doing this video 🇺🇸🇨🇺👏😍😘
The kid in the first part of Video has the BEST comment. "Over there you work and work and they keep the money. Here you work and work and you get to keep your money." Best/ simplest description of socialism I've heard.
Well, that's one flavor of socialism, although I know after saying this a lot of people are going to come up against me... Just saying.
Know a guy who repatriated back to Cuba cause he said the US was a bust.
@@kuba2ve Some like to be totally free of government, some don't.
Actually, the guy was the bust.
@@elguanche1 When they go back, they do it because they can't live away from their loved ones left behind...Then they regret it for the rest of their lives...Before Fidel, there was no difference between living in Cuba and America, where economics and law systems were concerned...The only "Bust" he was referring to, was lack of family closeness...Don't try to mislead people with sensationalism and a vague empty word...Shame on you, if that was what you are trying to do with that comment...
Thanks for showcasing Miami, in a real light. Many people have no idea, how diverse the city is of Miami... not many cities like it, anywhere.
Could you please define “diverse”? I don’t see anything diverse about Miami and I live here
My mom is Salvadorian born and experienced the civil war. Came here and became a citizen. My mom has worked as a Nanny and home cleaner. Has rental properties and her home is paid off. My mom is THE MOST patriotic person I know. She loves America and is so sad to see the drastic change. She says that a lot of what’s going on is looking similar to socialism and it breaks her heart and she only wants her family to live out the American dream❤️
I can totally relate .
My wife is from cuba as is her entire family (half live in miami half live in NJ). I love all of them so much. I'm 6th generation American and I like these latin patriots more than I like most Anglo white people!
But when she got here I know for a fact she depended on Gov't assistance. You also probably got a stimulus check ✔also did you give it back lol
@@jf5065 actually no she never did. She worked two factory jobs during the week and cleaned houses in the weekend and if there was no houses to clean she would clean offices at night. My mom would get paid 750 every two weeks and I would help her write the checks to pay for every bill. My first restaurant was when I turned 12 because a friend invited me to ihop. I would help my mom clean houses and she would pay me 10 dollars a house when I was 10 years old and I had no permission to play with the kids that had a toy room. So please don’t imply that immigrants live off of the govt. do you think my mom would have a paid off house before retirement if she did? Oh and to top it off she would get home by 6:30 or 7 just to cook and she would cook every day drumsticks (cheapest chicken), rice, beans.....everyday. Would you like more info on how we made it to success?
Well...yes... The CIA enacted ...U.S. policy... and leaders..in my Dad's country
13:42 in. The guy with white shirt with kid next to him in yellow shirt is My dad and my brother. My moms shoulder is behind my dad. That was the moment they made it to the US. I was born a year later here. Awesome video bro!
Cubans. More American than most Americans. FREEDOM! Protect it!
FACTS
CUBANS...MAGAheads....love to vote for CORRUPT politicians....ESPECIALLY MIAMI politicians. The worst.
@@josenunez8314 They keep voting for the same party even when they threaten to build a wall.
@@beerblues762 Because unlike you Cubans understand what the wall is for. The wall is for keeping out illegal aliens that are not politically persecuted , tortured , jailed or even killed by their governments , the same way the Cuban dictatorship does to the Cuban people.
A little less beer and more education on this subject would help.
These people make me PROUD to be American 🇺🇸
Thank you!
Yes indeed...
So why not learn the language??
Everyone else did??
I disagree with that. I have fled from places like Miami and Hialeah because of the Elian Gonzalez seizure riots. Their rage made us flee because they were convinced that his mother brought Elian Gonzalez from Cuba to the United States for a better life before his father wants him back to Cuba.
@@marcosjuarez7809 Envy and hate for Cubans. That's what many other Hispanics like you feel because Cubans have prospered and succeded in the US.
Teo speaking fact's! The lady spoke no English, but is taking care of what is her's and loves and respect's this country...Even flying the American flag proudly. Pretty sad where we stand today and full blooded American's take for granted what we were born into! Love the Cuban community for who they are and what they stand for! Unfortunate events in their home country led them to where they are today and they never went to go back. So much respect for this community.
What a lovely, genuine and trustworthy people Cubans are.... My very best wishes to them all.
I am so happy that you as a tourist came to Hialeah because this is the real Miami also you went deep into Hialeah that's amazing to see
Not the real Peter, be careful.
@@Snoy_Fly the fact that a bunch Island mexicans came down to South Florida with few pesos in their pockets and no basic American English Standards work their butts off and bought properties, started businesses, built condos and apartment buildings in Miami Beach, Aventura, downtown, little havana etc and etc and retired comfortably? You just jealous that an American like you is so lazy that the only yhing you do is complain like a gay man.

You're incredibly lucky to have people who actually care and have a clean standard of living, my hat off to the Cubans.
I grew up in Miami mostly in the 1960s and 1970s. I left in the mid-1980s. When I was in elementary school in the 60s, is when the main influx of Cubans took place. Those tended to be educated Cubans. They were smart enough to figure out their best bet for getting ahead was to start their own small businesses. It seemed like every Cuban family I knew owned a successful small business. They really hit the ground running.
The Mariel boat lift was a real disaster for Miami. There were many good Cubans that came over then, but the criminals that Castro forced to come created a horrific crime wave. The criminals were nothing like the Cubans we were used to.
Overall, I can say that Cubans are definitely entrepreneurs in general. They've become a major force in the political structure of South Florida. Many offspring of the first Cubans to arrive have gone on to prestigious careers. I traveled back to Miami in 2005 because my grandmother was dying. There were lots of Cuban doctors and nurses working in the hospital, which did not exist when I was growing up. There are plenty of rich Cubans at the top of the social heap today. They are very family-oriented and support their children's success.
Yes. Exactly! This is what I want the world to know about us.
@@ntmn8444 stop worrying about what the world thinks about us though.
They clashed with the Pablo Escobars Colombian Cartels and Cubans got the blame for most of the Drug Cartel crimes...Cuban prisoners' came in blue jumpsuits and as soon as they got off the boats, immigration took them to jails out of state, where most of them died...Colombians saw that there was not a language barrier in Miami, paved by the Cubans initiative to learn the English language and declared war on the Cubans for the turf...They were killing Cubans by the dozens...Cubans began to fight back and the DEA got involved...Colombians tried bringing Central American back ups...That backfired on them too...They also wanted to take over...It was indeed a mess for a few years...Then came the Venezuelans with the Chavez fiasco and the ARCH ENEMIES of the Colombians broke through the front door of their plans for Miami...Now UNFORTUNATELY, we have a silent segregation where Doral is Venezuelan, Kendal is Colombian, NW is Central American, El Portal is Puerto Rican and Dominicans...Hialeah, Little Havana, Gables, Westchester to Kendall is Cuban...Homestead is still Mexican and some Salvadorians...Americans are mostly in the Redlands area, where Cubans fleeing the city have been living in since the late 70s...My Cuban neighbors have been here in the Redlands since 78 and I got here in 92...We are all 50s and 60s Cubans for the most part...My daughter doesn't speak Spanish...
Fun fact: Even though we (Cubans) make up 4% of the total Hispanic population in the US, we own over 53% of all small Hispanic businesses!
@@ladyaly864 Interesting. I had no idea. My family is no longer in South Florida except for one person.
So nice to see you walk through the hood I grew up in as a kid! Hialeah... Agua, Fango y Factoria! La ciudad del progresso! Haven’t been there in years but was very proud to see Peter showcase our little Cuban city!!
Want to know how sacred our freedoms are, go talk to a Cuban! I have great respect for their love of freedom, respect for each other and community.
Having lived in Miami, South Beach and Coral Gables I quickly learned that it's a city/metro area that people stay out until dawn. The neighborhoods come alive in the early afternoons (hence why not many were out and about after your breakfast).
Man, I love my fellow Cuban Americans. When I went to Miami and Hialeah to visit my brother as a non Spanish speaker, I can say I felt like I was in another country. But I can't say a single bad thing about my time down there.
the good vibe I see in Hialeah, as middle Easterns we love Cubans by all means and wh have a lot things in common
Dude so glad you hit up Hialeah, I was born in Miami and raised most of my life in Hialeah! Very unique city in south Florida, that’s as Cuban as you can get haha
Isn't Hialeah just a neighbourhood of Miami and therefore within the city of Miami?
I can tell you those Cubans are some hard working people my mom worked with them at Baptist hospital behind UM. I have 2 Spanish ppl who live on my street then have modest cars and hard working folks.
I lived in Miami many years in the late 90's and early 2000, Love the City and love the Cuban people and the Cuban food!
Viva los Cubanos y la musica Cubana!
Especialmente el album que se llama Asi Bailamos en Cuba. De el decada des Los 1950s! 😁
As being an Pakistani Immigrant myself, i totally second this we have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Loving this South Florida series! 20+ years living here you meet so many people from different cultures, everyone adopts a little bit from each other this is truly a melting pot.
Most of my life was spent in South Florida...graduated Miami Springs Sr. High and lived all over the area, with the Gables being the last stop before leaving in 2002. I still carry much of the culture with me and have shared it with my husband and sons...who will hopefully have the chance to experience it in person one day.
South FL is crazy muito carro. When I was young I rented a room in Dade County $175 month back in 1984. In 1994 I could rent a place in Fort Lauderdale $525 month including utilities. Now back in 2019 they were charging $225 week in Miami just to rent a room. I am up in Ocala now. I might move to Brazil. Unless I get divorced then I might go to Thailand or Philippines
Grew up in Broward and yes just like Miami a very diverse place. I'm used to being around all races/cultures
@@johnm249 it is expensive no lie. If you wanna live cheap in Florida nowadays you gotta go to Jacksonville or like the panhandle region. Miami Broward Palm Beach and Orlando have gotten ridiculously unaffordable. I still live in Broward and love it here, but raising a family I always explore leaving for other states where you can do more with your money
I disagree. To me, forget Detroit. Hialeah is the worst place to live. The Cuban American community in Miami is not like the Cuban American community in Union City, New Jersey near New York City. That’s why I have to live near Fort Lauderdale because I don’t want to be around any Cubans because of one thing. The Elian Gonzalez seizure riots.
Hell yeah dude you’re seeing the real Miami. Love Cubans and Cuban culture
Cubans are a special breed. hard times in Cuba made very hard people with strong values.
I am glad you got to go to Hialeah. I will say most of Cuban are very proud to be in this amazing country and to call it home.
I've been super interested in Cuban-American culture for a while now. My mother always spoke highly of them because they- like her -have an excellent memory for what Socialism actually looks like. You really hit the nail on the head!
Also, holy crap! You ran into a history teacher, and a good one!!!!
You should make a documentary in the Dominican neighborhood located in uptown Manhattan called Washington Heights. People there are awesome and the food is delicious.
El Alto is also a gritty area.
Been to Cuba twice and traveled around the island in 2016 (under Obama and 2018 under Trump) Cubans are very intelligent and educated. I love them so much and I love their Spanish accent. They hustle and they have amazing doctors

Great Video, as a Cuban I am really glad the history teacher told you about the Mariel, more people should know about this and I am happy a lot of people will hear this now. Sadly, we have 62 years of communism filled with stories like this one. Nothing good comes out of socialist governments, just death, hungry people and misery.
And yes we love US, because we are thankful, we finally have the privilege of knowing what freedom feels like.
Thank you Thank you. i was Born in Hialeah- raised in Hialeah. My ppl came from Cuba to Hialeah in the 1960s. You literally are in my backyard and you showed what the American dream is in Miami. Cubans have an entrepreneurial spirit, mixed with resilience and good sense of humor. 🙏🏻 thanks
Lived in Hialeah for a year, and although I love going back mostly for the food,I wouldn’t live there again. The traffic, especially is crazy!!!! But whenever I go to Miami, a trip to Hialeah is a must!!
Thank you for showing our city. Been in Hialeah for over 30 years. Best city in Florida
La ciudad que progresa!
Love my Cubans coming from a Mexican American only been in Miami for almost 3 months

Padrino's cuban restaurant is one of the best places to eat in south Florida.
The food is always awesome and fresh . They've been around for a long time
Cubans are great people and they don’t get offended when people ask them questions! In Cuba their is many cultures and migrants.. Cubans come in all shapes and colors
The Cemetery Enthusiast: I'm Cuban and I approve this message.!!!
@@guilleport Me too...
👏👏🇬🇧 videos are incredible
No they’re not
So glad you stumbled upon Carlos, So much knowledge and history to share!
Thank you for catching up with my fellow Cubans
I wish I could have met you, I’m
Cuban but I live in Miami Beach
I learned that my HOA is
like the Cuban government. They have to approve everything you do and turn down most requests.
LOL
🤔😂
🤣🤣🤣
We've got a question for you Peter. You always share such honest, humble and constructive conversations with the people you meet. Are there ever conversations you don't share? Or people you interact with that are very hostile? Just interested to hear about another side to your videos that perhaps we don't see. Also really enjoy your videos 😄
Regards from Croatia. Peter is a best you tuber for travels. I have traveled a lot to the ex SSSR countries. He is showing what reality is. Peter´s videos give me big pleasure in this covid time.
Cubans are true patriots.
These beautiful people bring tears to my eyes.
Please vote!
I love it peter! This is true Reality TV. Showing real people and real lifestyles.
Great video as always Peter. You have to vlog about the Cuban coffee. I still remember the special mixture of suger and espresso when I was in Miami almost 20 years ago. 👍
I just started following you recently and to my surprise you do a series in Miami. I was born and raised there and I am Cuban-American. Absolutely love your content for its real and raw features. Thank you for what you do. Wish you much success!!!
Stumbled across Peter’s Appalachia series and then saw he did a docu video on Hialeah. I grew up in Hialeah in the 80s and 90s. Amazingly accurate and the commentary from the interviews were 100% spot on. Great video!
Clicked like before I even watched, I knew it was going to be epic and eye opening when Mr. Santenello is doing the field work !!!!
i reallY love your videos man so much more relaxed and showing the actual beauty of the us, and not just what other people say and media
I am a proud Cuban American who served on the US Army. You can bet your bottom dollar we love this country.
Finding this video series SO interesting!!
Great video . Hialeah is about hardworking individuals/families who just want to live a peaceful free life. 🇺🇸
Love hearing stories from Cuban immigrants particularly the elderly Cubans who lived in Cuba before Fidel Castro took over. The younger Cubans talk of how life is now and availability of things we in America take for granted
My dad and sister (she was 8 years old at the time) came over on the Mariel boat lift. It was not all criminals. I just want to point that out. Thank you for bringing the plight of the Cuban people to your channel to share with people.
This is the video that got it all started for me Peter!
Thank you for what you do.
Happy Easter everyone and awesome video!
Teo. What a legend ! Inspiring words hitting us in the UK xD Great Vid!
Carlos was very good at explaining us Cuban-American immigrants and our deep rooted passion & success.
Another great report ... THANKS ... found your site a couple of months ago 🤔..
Going to try and watch all .
the Cuban people are such a great asset to have in America
Love this Florida series!
Very good live stream Peter big fan here. 👍👍
keep up the great work Peter, love watching these videos!
This is why I love America. The different cultures and the people of the United States of America. So much to learn from those who came from countries with much much less freedom.
Nice video. It's nice to see neighborhoods where people take care of their homes, are proud to fly the American flag, and you can walk the streets freely without anything to worry about. Kudos for Hialeah!
The population of the City of Miami is about 480,000. The population of Miami Beach is much smaller at 88,000. The population of Miami-Dade County is over 2.8 Million yet, every time Hollywood, or the Corporate Media talk about South Florida, they don't talk about places like Hialeah, but about South Beach and the high crime areas of the City of Miami.
Some of us still fly the Cuban flag. No matter the politics of the island, the ability to fly the Estrella Solitaria, is our birthright and cannot be taken away.
Capitalist Hollywood and capitalist media*
Thank you Peter for these video's. I find them most interesting. Pax. Steven.
Love your content and authenticity !
