Yali Nuñez Ties Cuba Escape to America’s 250th Anniversary

Yali Nuñez used America’s upcoming 250th anniversary to recount leaving socialist Cuba at 16 and argue that immigrants come to the U.S. for freedom and opportunity.
90 miles from Florida, Cuba remains her central warning: she cites 20- to 30-hour power outages, food shortages and punishment for dissent as evidence of socialism’s failures.
Nuñez contrasts that system with U.S. capitalism, saying America’s imperfections have still produced growth, innovation and the individual liberty that draws migrants from Cuba, Venezuela and Eastern Europe.
New York’s recent Democratic socialist primary wins frame her broader message that younger Americans should revisit the Declaration of Independence before embracing socialist ideas ahead of the 2028 race.
