Not going to lie. This really humbled me. I came from a low income family, and anyone who came from such a background knows you have to work twice as hard to get out of it. Ive been working since age 17 and have had 2 jobs along with school for quite a while. I’m no longer in the same income bracket but I self reflected and kind of was salty about how I worked my life away. This reminded me that some ppl start with even less than I did, but are more grateful than I am. Bless him, I hope he continues to do great things and spread his joy and enthusiasm.
He should be grateful. Everyone needs to know the Teamsters are lying to everyone about UPSers not being compensated. A FT driver at top pay makes 41.51hr. Vacation, paid Holidays, free insurance for the whole family. Very good insurance with a low deductible and a pension. Im a 33-year UPSER. FYI PT employees don't make the same pay but have mostly the same benefits.
Wow! An anti-Union UPSer of 33 years that defends corporate UPS and doesn’t support his brethren in browns… hmmm kinda sounds like an insider threat or undercover management on a PR campaign planting disinformation on social media. Lmao some conspiracy theories do make sense…
As a naturalized citizen, I wish every American would know the feeling of being able to immigrate here, going through the process/learning the history, taking the test, becoming a citizen, grateful the privileges, and upholding the duties of an American, all the while never forgetting why. Best wishes to this family!
So sad that CBS left out the foundation of his happiness. In the video they selectively left out clips where he explicitly states the contrast from this country to COMMUNIST Cuba. But openly criticizing Communism is a bridge too far for left wing media. They just make it another “I’m a happy immigrant” heart warming story. There’s a lot more to this story, specifically: the system he immigrated from! I urge you to find the unedited video of him receiving his first paycheck. It’s an inspiring reminder that we must conserve the freedoms we have and keep government LIMITED!
Thanks bro. You brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes it take hard work to make it. Most people don’t want to work hard. Keep reaching for the stars. Peace and ❤️
This needs to be shown to every american. These are the immigrants we want. Hes the kind of person that makes america better and unfortunately not everyone who comes here feels like this and even worse not everyone who was born here feels like this. When trump said they arent sending their best people he wasnt talking about this guy. I want to be friends with this dude
The former Cuban doesn't get it lol. The minimum wage is a poverty wage and that whole check is already negative before he opened it. Bills don't pay themselves.
0:31 12$ a month??? 💀💀💀💀💀 bro you'd be actually dead with that kinda income, it's a miracle this guy looks like he eats comfortably and all that And how is 12$ a month even able to make any ends meet
Yes, he did it the right way. He has a UA-cam channel if you want more info. Search for the "Yoel And Mari" channel. My favorite video is when Yoel went shopping at a grocery store in America for the first time.
This is fake. His first check would been less than $200. No one comes into the UPS straight from the street to driving. It takes years to even be a part time driver. Smoke and mirrors.
Missing the point that there are Americans who want and could do the job. I am a legal immigrant from Central America and wonder when we will stop importing more workers to depress our wages. It’s great for corporations but not for American workers.
Great for him, but to whomever edited and cut this, shame on you. I saw a more full cut where he someone off camera says, "look at the taxes" and he replies "I prefer this than Fidel Castro. Fidel took more, communism took more." It then continues with "this is my first hourly psyche...." Disgusting edit. Why cut that out?
I just don't understand why people like him want to come to this hateful and racist country 🙄😳😂 This is the reason why, because this wonderful Nation is great! When I became an American citizen, it was one of the happiest days of my life. Going through the whole process, learning the history of this wonderful country. It is so sad to see how many Americans who had the privilege to be born and raised in the USA don't appreciate what they have, they just take it for granted. Maybe that's the problem; maybe they should go and live in countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and all those socialist/communist countries, and then maybe, they might appreciate what they have here. May God bless and protect this wonderful Nation.
Exactly, only reason why communist from America don’t want to move to those countries is only because the communism they dream of is a utopia inside their head, because they know they will have a crap life if they moved to somewhere like Cuba or Laos to ACTUALLY experience communism.
Brother sigue trabajando en tu metas pero no te conformes en so obtener un cheke work for your goals este país te da la oportunidad don't be a employee be the boss
Just imagine if everyone appreciated Time and money & hard work like this Man ! Do you know how much more successful we all would be !
I’m happy for you man. Many people don’t realize the hardships we as humans face, due to social, economic, and environmental stability.
This is a wonderful story, and to see Yoel's excitement and gratitude is so refreshing. God bless him and his family.

@@crogers4912 that’s awesome to know! Thank you for spreading the word. I’m glad UPS is treating their ppl right.

@@crogers4912You wouldn’t have that pay and benefits without the Teamsters though they fought hard for y’all to get that.
Wonderful to see people relishing their freedom that many in this country have taken for granted or want to eliminate all together
he should have been here under trump if he think that it good now

I’m happy to have you here! 🎉♥️🤍 💙 🇺🇸
Wow! We Americans need to appreciate our country a lot more! VIVA U.S.A!🙏🇺🇸
I am so happy for you.
Welcome Brother.
He has a UA-cam account. He's so grateful for the things we take for granted. Look up his account Yoel and Mari.

Very Happy For Him. #grateful #thankful
Nice feeling. Happened the same 30 years ago to me.
US, is a good country, if you work hard with personal discipline.
This is how happy I was on my last day at UPS.
US needs more of people like him and less of the ones that show up waving their flag from the country they "feared", freeloading off of US taxpayers
I’m so excited that you love our country! We all should be more grateful! Thank you for reminding us.
Good for you buddy, congrats. Great job.
Thanks bro. You brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes it take hard work to make it. Most people don’t want to work hard. Keep reaching for the stars. Peace and ❤️
As a ups delivery driver. I’m proud of the company I work for.
God bless you, my friend. Welcome to the USA 🇺🇸.
we love our UPS man!!
We definitely take things for granted here
Felicidades y bendiciones

This was amazing! Welcome home.
Wait to put your computer science expertise to use! 🎉
Happy for him
I'd be happier if he was able to teach science in the US. He'd get paid more and he would be able to contribute back to society even more.
Wait till he becomes a full timer and gets on those union negotiated wages and benifits. Talk about grateful.
Imagine when he hits top rate 😱
Welcome!! 🎉 ♥️🤍💙🇺🇸
THATS THE TEAMSTERS AT WORK, REGARDLESS OF WHAT NOBODY SAY THATS THE WAY TO GO?????!!!!!!
I feel disgusted when I open mine
Because you never had to live in a communist regime and are not grateful for what you have.
Sadly, most Americans don't get it...
whats that taking a pay cut & paying 40% more for everything with joe Biden .....nothing to be grateful for there
The former Cuban doesn't get it lol. The minimum wage is a poverty wage and that whole check is already negative before he opened it. Bills don't pay themselves.
Welcome, friend. Enjoy your stay.
Wow….. I’ve applied to be UPS Driver and they told me I need to work in processing for a year first…..
They hire the Cubans so they can keep telling us how evil communism and socialism are.
It takes about a year to become a driver, but for the full pay and benefits youre gonna need an additional 4-5 years.
@@Jirizo1 Yeah how this guy hops out of his UPS Truck and opens his FIRST American paycheck is beyond me…
Ay qué linda historia EMILITO bueno y tú qué chico sigue siendo un hombre soltero
HUGE !!!
Welcome!
So how much was it?🤨
Americas got its problems but when you come down to it, it’s a pretty swell place to live.
What I’m from the USA and they wanted me to start from a loader being 44 years old ups your sick
Who are you trying to kid it's always about the money.
Let's see if he can afford to pay his bills. Did he come for money or for liberty?
He doesn't know that 12 dollars a month in cuba is the same as 12 dollars a hour in the u.s
No it’s not
Not even close
Welcome to opportunity. I am proud to have countryman like you. You made it happen and now you will grow professionally.
Worked for them. Quit after they wouldn’t pay me. Well technically they did. Worked 20 hours a week and they paid me $7.20
Sure they did. We all believe that. After all, paying somebody less than $1 an hour is legal in this country, so there was nothing you could do.
0:31 12$ a month??? 💀💀💀💀💀 bro you'd be actually dead with that kinda income, it's a miracle this guy looks like he eats comfortably and all that
And how is 12$ a month even able to make any ends meet
WOW ! UPS PAYS BETTER THAN CUBA
Is he here legally?
Yes, he did it the right way. He has a UA-cam channel if you want more info. Search for the "Yoel And Mari" channel. My favorite video is when Yoel went shopping at a grocery store in America for the first time.
Now try going to Cuba and taking from them
This is fake. His first check would been less than $200. No one comes into the UPS straight from the street to driving. It takes years to even be a part time driver. Smoke and mirrors.
Go through the immigration process, this is what the American dream is. Not handouts
Missing the point that there are Americans who want and could do the job. I am a legal immigrant from Central America and wonder when we will stop importing more workers to depress our wages. It’s great for corporations but not for American workers.
Wait till he see all the taxes being subtracted
After making $12 a month in Cuba, I don't think he'll care.
And some people in the USA either want socialism and worse... Communism. Listen and learn from people who actually lived it. 🙏🏾
It's not just Cubans but so many people that are from poor countries:) USA #1
And yet hes about to join the strike
Let's trade 10,000 U.S. born socialist for 100 of these guys!
Great for him, but to whomever edited and cut this, shame on you. I saw a more full cut where he someone off camera says, "look at the taxes" and he replies "I prefer this than Fidel Castro. Fidel took more, communism took more." It then continues with "this is my first hourly psyche...." Disgusting edit. Why cut that out?
Then edit the video the way you want to and post it.

You are so right! I'm inspired by many immigrants journey!!
Exactly, only reason why communist from America don’t want to move to those countries is only because the communism they dream of is a utopia inside their head, because they know they will have a crap life if they moved to somewhere like Cuba or Laos to ACTUALLY experience communism.
Me after getting a check after being kept on a bed to be brutally tortured by communist forces for years
You left out the part where he doesn't mind the taxes because "communism took away more."
If you want to know what a democrat socialist country looks like go to cuba
“Communism, is the very definition of failure”
-liberty prime
This is fake... 🤷🏻♂️
If people tool the time to record it, ...it's fake .
You’re fake.
That's not a very feasible assumption lol. However it might be fake, it definitely feels like it.
Brother sigue trabajando en tu metas pero no te conformes en so obtener un cheke work for your goals este país te da la oportunidad don't be a employee be the boss
Take time to look at America threw a imagrants eyes..and remember what makes it so great!❣️
That minimum wage won't be feeling so good once the bills hit, lol. He will be living in the same poverty he escaped probably even worse.
Pero fekisidades
