A Cuban who has documented and shared on social media the harsh demands of emigrating to the United States, shared a video on Saturday showing the conditions of a cheap rental in Mexico City.
"I arrived at my luxurious house in Mexico City," wrote the young man known as The Cuban Villager on Facebook, while showing the accommodation conditions.
The video also shows the furniture and appliances that the young man has, including a large bed, a refrigerator, a gas stove, a homemade water heater, pans and utensils, a sofa for guests, "with a little gap, but it's fine," he pointed out.
In addition, the young man showed off the view from the place where he is renting, from which one can see the large dimensions of Mexico City.
“What did you think?”, he asked at the end of the video where he did not give details about the rental price, although he did mention that he chose that place because “the rent is very cheap.”
The festive and ironic tone used by the young man in the publication does not mask the vicissitudes suffered by Cubans during the dangerous journey that leads them to the United States.
He himself has documented several of the risks that immigrants face, such as voyages on rafts and highways, as well as hunger and the harsh living conditions they endure.
Recently, another Cuban showed in a video how migrants from Uruguay live, who have to rent up to 13 people in a boarding house (as those rental houses are called there).
The internet user identified as El Soñador shared a recording on his TikTok account showing the common areas of a high-rise house where 13 non-family members live.
