My parents are both Cuban. I was born NYC, and I am a successful Nurse. Cuban Americans like the one in this documentary come a dime a dozen. No sooner they get off the boat, that they are more American than anyone. I know first hand. Have you been to Cuba lately? Arguably the condition for many Cubans is no better than the worse in Mexican life. The young women have to prostitute themselves for a buck, and if you need to wipe your behind, well, better use the ol five fingered. Make sure to bring some toilet paper to Cuba. You may need a gas mask just to make it through Havana.What i find so hypocritical about this guy is that he behaves so averse to the living conditions of these people when his own people suffer the same conditions in Cuba. Trust me, if you were in some shack in Havana living with the Cubans, you would not know the difference from the worse slum in Mexico. As a matter of fact, you'd think you were living with Mexicans. I know Cubans myself that as soon as they got here with only a T-shirt, they begin to talk down about other so-called American minorities. I think this is some form of phenomenon indemic to many immigrants including Rigoberto or whatever his name is.Sure, there are laws on immigration, I do not contest this, but what i find distasteful is this Cuban guy's bad attitude and highly accented English.Another peculiar thing has to do with skin tone. Do not be deceived, Cuba is a place just like Mexico in many respects, but even there, the lighter one's yearn for the privileges of whiteness in America, even if they are not all that white to begin with. Cuba's racial composition is very mixed, there are plenty of brown and black people there, plenty if not the majority.In conclusion, I would pass a law to prevent any more Cubans from immigrating to this nation. They messed-up their own nation, and frankly, even if they are my people, they are way to snooty once here to deserve toilet paper.Send Rigoberto back to Cuba with no toilet paper.

This is enlightening.
I have had some negative views on "illegal" immigration.
After watching this, it occurs to me that the basic principles of free market economics are not at work here. A basic economic truth, and historical fact is that an increasing closed attitude results in a diminishing market.
The fact that many people fear an increasing population base is counter intuitive to the basic foundations of the American system. Not to mention that it violates the decree on the plaque posted at the base of the Statue of Liberty. Frank doesn't realize that his economic and personal veiw on how to keep America growing is actually not only counter- productive, but it is notably anti-American. I am a 7th generation American who's greatx3 Uncle was the 19th president of the United States. After watching this, I am convinced that the exclusionary approach is not only un-American but will in the end, destroy the economy we think we are protecting.
On a personal level, Armeda is one of the most amazing young women Ive seen in a long time. If I had the power to do so, I would give the whole family citizenship today. The country would be better off with them in it, not to mention the world.
