A Cuban in the U.S. wonders why people bring others from the island: "There's no money for anything."

In a video that has gone viral on TikTok, a Cuban woman in the United States has delivered a powerful message to those aiding in bringing more people from Cuba. The woman, identified as @yersiye.cuen on the platform, highlights the high cost of living in the United States, commenting that it is not as easy as some may think back on the island.

"Why are people bringing more people from Cuba to the United States, knowing that conditions here are terrible?" the Cuban woman begins. In her video, she highlights the high cost of living in the country, stating that "everything is extremely expensive," from rent to basic products. She also claims that, due to this situation, many newcomers to the United States do not find the financial support they were promised before leaving.

"Those four thousand dollars you are spending on a ticket, invest it in yourselves, in moving forward," she suggests, emphasizing that it makes no sense to bring more relatives or friends if the person is not financially stable. According to her, this is one of the reasons why newcomers end up falling out with their family members in the United States, as they do not receive the support they expected.

The Cuban concludes her message by holding accountable those who enable more people to arrive from Cuba without having economic stability in the United States. "The blame lies with you, because if you're not doing well financially here, you can't bring anyone over. What they have in the United States is misery," she warns.

The video has sparked extensive discussion on social media, with some users sharing their viewpoints while others criticize it for its tone.

"But there is food, electricity, and water. That's enough," "She is telling the whole truth," "I completely agree, the people around here don't understand; she says to bring the families when they are financially stable, not that they shouldn't be welcomed," "And is the situation better in Cuba?" or "She spoke the truth, personally, I’m not bringing anyone, just my parents," are some of the comments seen alongside the video.
