In a transfer of Cuban “customs” that have arrived in Miami with the growing migratory wave, a series of “coleros” have resorted to old practices of the island to, from Florida, process driver’s licenses.
In a video published by the Instagram site “Cubans shout out” one of the latest trends of Cubans to carry out procedures at the offices of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) is observed. .
To organize the appointments in the venues where the license is requested for the first time or is renewed, many have resorted to the old Cuban habit of signing up on lists to ensure their place.
In the video images, a security guard arrived at one of the Miami offices, after reports that some people were creating lists to “facilitate” access to procedures.
“People they sign up for illegal lists and even pay for being on the list and others arrive early to queue. The police came and kicked everyone out. But the people on the list were left waiting nearby and the police did nothing to them. Corruption or not? This is disrespectful!” Refers to the text at the bottom of the clip.
“You know very well that the lists are illegal. You can’t make lists,” the officer yelled at a Cuban in the middle of a dispute between the members of two different lines for the same procedure.
Judging by the filmed scenes, a number of people, who claimed to have been on the site since early morning, claimed a Cuban for having integrated a list with people who arrived after the first ones and who claimed to go ahead.
Between vulgar phrases and words and in a threatening attitude towards the guard, the alleged Cuban cholero yelled insistently at the security guard while the agent assured that he would call the police.
a note from america teave explained that the waiting times for the driver’s license have been lengthened by the migratory wave and by the dilation of the appointments in the context of the Covid-19.
Online dating sites in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, the outlet noted, show no appointments available until November.
“Incredible how they do the same stupid things they did in Cuba, lining up and selling the shifts and on top of that the beautiful way in which they refer to others,” said an Internet user in the Instagram post.
The video and the practice recall another of the Cuban trends that have moved to the City of the Sun, as shown by a recent joke where taxi drivers from that place imitate the typical Cuban piquera with bukenkes that shout the routes of the drivers.
