Homeless Cuban exile can't get help.

The title of my article is ."Homeless Cuban exile can't get help"

It's about the man who fled to South Florida seven months after Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba. His name is Florestan Ors. But unlike many of Cuba's early refugees who are now prosperous citizens, Ors is virtually penniless at 71. and oddly, undocumented. Ors is among a growing number of immigrants who, despite having worked for decades in the United States and paid taxes, are shut out of Social Security and other benefits. because they are ndocumented. Many are homeless include him. Before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, no one asked for immigration documents. After that, those wanting to drive in Florida would have to show immigration papers.

In my opinion, I think they need help. Every country (may be except North Korea) have some refugees or people who documented. Espacially, U.S.A started from immigration. Therefore they have many immigration in the country. California and Florida have the highest percentage of immigration because two of them is nearby Mexico and Cuba. This article have Cuban refugees problem. They said they can't do anything in the U.S. after Sept. 11. I know it's very difficult to immigrate in America. But if many Cuban refugees can't get help, it would be escalate big problem in the U.S. society. In Korea, many Asian come from make many money. But they can't go hospital. Because they are undocumented. It's very big problem in Korea. One employee died by appendicitis. He couldn't get surgery, he was undocumented and didn't get insurance. So, many people asked to government for visa. Korea have one or two day per year to give visa for undocumented people. And We have many volumteer who take care of undocumented person. I think U.S.society need this kind of things. Because to defend society's secure, you can make bigger danger in your around. They really need help.
