Local media in Miami confirmed that there is a crisis with Cubans in cities like Hialeah, and many have been forced, due to the price of rents and the lack of work, to sleep in their cars or on the streets of this city of the South Florida.
A report from the Miami channel, Univision 23, detailed this week that there is a migration crisis in Hialeah and hundreds of Hispanics, many of them Cubans, sleep in cars and wander the streets.
According to the mayor of Hialeah, Esteban Bovo, the city faces an uncontrolled immigration crisis. Many Latino immigrants are homeless in South Florida and have no choice but to sleep on the streets or inside vehicles.
It is not the first time that the Latin media in Miami has talked about the number of migrants who have arrived in Florida, and the scarcity of jobs, plus the increase in income. Now the city of Hialeah is in the middle of an unprecedented immigration crisis.
Crisis with the increase of Cubans in Hialeah
Added to this is the exorbitant price of housing, meaning that an “economical” rent can exceed $1,300. This situation has pushed many Cuban migrants to make a difficult decision: sleep in their cars or live on the streets.
“I prefer to sleep in a van than pay rent, because an efficiency costs $1,300. There are those who pay 1,800 dollars,” a Cuban anonymously told Univision. His story reflects the harsh reality that thousands of people in Hialeah are experiencing these days.
The immigration crisis and the high cost of housing in Hialeah are problems that require urgent attention from the authorities. Accessible housing solutions and measures are needed to provide support to migrants who find themselves in such a vulnerable situation.
