Explanation:

My name is Carlos. I came to America from Cuba in 1971. There are about a million other Cubans that have moved from Cuba to the United States. Many Cubans live in Miami, Florida. We like to live near each other so that we can support each other here in America. Living near other Cubans is nice. I can speak to my neighbors in my native language, which is Spanish. Lots of restaurants in my neighborhood cook the same kinds of foods that I ate back home. Most people who have come from Cuba like me came because we were very unhappy with the Cuban government. In America, people's rights are protected by the US Constitution. In Cuba, the government doesn't let you say what you want, or vote, or open a business if you want to. It is dangerous to speak out against the government in Cuba. It is much safer here.
