Lin Sen nodded matter-of-factly and said with a smile: "That's natural. If the population of a place becomes smaller and smaller as time goes by, it would be abnormal. In that case, it will decline sooner or later, and it will not
It has become an international metropolis. Although Miami is not an international metropolis, its reputation is known to people all over the world. It is really good and not easy for Hongmen to be able to sit on such a territory.
.I must have endured a lot of hardships in the early days of Hongmen’s founding.”
"That's natural. The establishment of any organization is not completed through repeated hardships. Our Hongmen in the United States is the same. At the beginning, my father actually wanted to go back to China for development, but China has
The existence of the Struggle Association, even if it goes back, will have no effect. In the end, it may be wiped out by the people of the Struggle Association. The Struggle Association is very powerful, and we can't compare with it."
The Struggle Association, the world's number one organization for superpowers, is naturally inferior to Hongmen. Lin Sen didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to listen quietly.
“Before World War II, Miami experienced amazing development: as early as the beginning of the 19th century, Miami authorities allowed gambling and were very lax in prohibition regulations. As a result, thousands of people came from the north of the United States.
Immigration to the Miami area created a building boom, with high-rise buildings popping up in previously uninhabited areas. Some of the earliest buildings were torn down just ten years after they were built to make way for larger buildings. A large number of people moved into the area.
The speculative boom began to falter as building materials overloaded the transportation system and delayed the construction of many buildings.
From time to time, ships carrying supplies ran aground and blocked the port. These incidents gave investors a chance to think. In the end, severe transportation congestion forced the mayor of Miami to declare that "except for food, all ships carrying construction items are prohibited from entering the port."
The "Great Miami Hurricane" of 1926 ended this economic bubble.
Then, the Great Depression came, and in the mid-1930s, Miami Beach's Art Deco Movement (artdeco) made Miami develop again. During World War II, the U.S. government took advantage of Miami's strategic position on the east coast of the country.
Many bases, supplies, and communications facilities were built in the surrounding area. As many servicemen returned to Miami after the war, its population reached 500,000 by 1950."
Ni Xiaonui became more and more excited with the introduction. She and Hu Longfei suffered from the same emotional problem. Hu Longfei had been verbose since Lin Sen arrived in Los Angeles, and now Ni Xiaonui started to do it again. But Lin Sen could understand.
Yes, after all, everyone's heart will be full of gratitude for their hometown, a beautiful and wealthy hometown.
If he faced a woman he liked, and if that woman was interested in K City, Jiangnan Province, Lin Sen would not perform much better than Ni Xiaonui, and he would not go to great lengths to introduce her...
...
Ni Xiaoni continued: "In 1959, the Cuban Revolution ousted Fulgencio Batista from power, Fidel Castro came to power, and a large number of Cuban exiles began to go to Florida. Only in 1965
In one year, 100,000 Cubans came to Miami from Havana on the twice-daily "freedomflight". Many of the exiles were middle- and upper-class people whose wealth had shrunk significantly and who arrived in the United States with very little money.
Much of Miami welcomed Cuban exiles. Most of the exiles lived along the river, so the area began to get a new name, "Little Havana."
The area gradually developed into a predominantly Spanish-speaking community, and Spanish speakers elsewhere in the city used their own language for most everyday matters. In the 1960s and 1970s, the U.S. Attorney General granted
The Cubans obtained a special permit to enter the United States, but did not agree that they could stay permanently. This dilemma for Cubans came to a resolution after the introduction of the "Cuban Situation Act" in 1966. The Situation Act stipulates that any person who has entered the United States since 1959
Cuban immigrants who arrive in the United States after the year and have lived in the United States for one year can obtain permanent residency (i.e. green card).
In the Mariel boatlift of 1980, 150,000 Cubans crossed the sea to Miami at one time. This was also the largest military crossing in history. Unlike the batch of refugees in the 1960s, most of the refugees
They were all poor. Through this smuggling incident, Castro eliminated a large number of criminals and mentally ill people in the country. During this period, many non-Hispanic whites fled from Miami, which is often called the "white flight."
Ni Xiaonu was very excited when he said it. Although Lin Sen was helpless, he still pretended to like him very much. This damn thing couldn't dampen Ni Xiaonu's enthusiasm! No matter who he was facing,
Under normal circumstances, Lin Sen can listen well and will not interrupt because of impatience. This is a rare courtesy.
"In 1960, 90% of Miami's population was white, and by 1990, only about 10% remained. In the 1980s, Miami began to experience another wave of immigrants from other countries, such as Haiti. As the Haitian population in the area increased
Growing, a community called "Little Haiti" was born. In the 1990s, the Haitian language, Haitian Creole, appeared in public spaces and on ballots during elections. Another large wave of Cuban refugees occurred in 1994
In 2017, in order to prevent another Mariel smuggling incident, the Croatian government announced an important amendment to U.S. law. In this controversial action, the government announced that Cubans intercepted at sea would not be brought back to the United States, but instead
The U.S. Coast Guard (thecoastguard) sent them to the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (or Panama). Over an eight-month period starting in 1994, more than 30,000 Palestinians and 20,000 Haitians were intercepted and sent to the U.S.
Camps outside the homeland.”
Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Ni Xiaonu leaned on Lin Sen's shoulder, looked out the window, and said:
"On September 9, 1994, the United States and Cuba reached an agreement on immigration issues. The agreement stipulated that the United States would adopt laws to place Cuban refugees in safe havens outside the United States, and Cuba would also prevent Cubans from entering the United States by sea. In addition,
, the United States will issue visas to 20,000 Cuban refugees each year. On May 2, 1995, a second agreement was reached, allowing Cubans living in Guantanamo to enter the United States. At the same time, a direct repatriation process for Cubans intercepted at sea was also established.
Cuba's system. In this agreement, the Cuban government promised not to retaliate against these deportees.
Since then, Miami's Latin and Caribbean friendly atmosphere has become a popular destination for tourists and immigrants from all over the world and the third largest port of entry for immigrants in the United States after New York and Los Angeles. In addition, people from all over the world including Europe, Africa and Asia
A large number of immigrant communities from all over the world have settled in Miami. In Miami, most of the European immigrant communities are recent immigrants who live in the city seasonally and have relatively high disposable income. For example, the Italian immigrant community in Miami only
There are about 45,000 people, but it is the richest Italian-American community in the United States.
Currently, there are a large number of legal and illegal Argentines, Bahamians, Barbadians, Brazilians, Colombians, Cubans, Dominicans, Dutch, Ecuadorians, French, Haitians, Jamaicans, and Israelis in the Miami area
Miami is a major city for Hispanic and Caribbean immigrants, but the area also has the largest Finnish, French, and South African immigrant communities in the United States, as well as one of the largest Israeli, Russian, and Turkish immigrant communities in the United States. The city of Miami and its suburbs are located in
On the vast plain between the Florida Everglades and Biscayne Bay. The average elevation of the entire area is 3 feet, with the highest not exceeding 4.515 feet.
The main part of the city is located on the waterfront of Biscayne Bay, which encompasses hundreds of natural and artificial barrier islands, the largest of which contains Miami Beach and the coastal South Beach area. The islands are geologically bounded by
Considered part of the Florida Keys, but has no political affiliation. The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that flows northward about 15 miles off the coast of Miami, giving the city a warm and year-round climate.
There is a Biscayne Aquifer beneath the plains. This underground river stretches from southern Palm Beach County to Florida Bay. Its highest point passes through Miami Springs and Hialeah. In the South Florida metropolitan area,
Most cities get their drinking water from this river.
Due to the presence of aquifers, you can't dig deeper than 15 to 20 feet in Miami before you see water, which also poses a threat to local construction. Much of the west of the city extends into the Florida Everglades, which is located in the Florida Everglades.
A subtropical swamp in southern Florida, USA. The wild animals and plants living here occasionally cause some trouble, such as: American crocodiles (this kind of crocodile does not grow very large, and is basically the same type in the local swamp park.
) and African crocodiles (huge and dangerous, but rarely found in swamp parks), often appear in communities or on main roads. Miami, like other cities in South Florida, has a warm, humid subtropical climate.
Only in winter do you occasionally encounter cold weather.
It is worth mentioning that Miami is the warmest city in the United States in winter, with an average temperature of 19.5c in January and 28.3c in July. The average annual precipitation is 1290 mm, most of which falls in summer. In summer and autumn, it is hit by hurricanes. This area is not
There are no obvious four seasons, instead the year is divided into wet and dry seasons, with the wet season lasting six months. The dry season is in winter, and the wet season usually follows the summer hurricane season. According to official records, the hottest record in Miami is
39.4c on July 17, 2004, and summer humidity often puts the heat index between 43c and 48c. The coldest record in Miami was -2.8c on February 3, 1917, and the metro area
The coldest record was -6.6c on January 19, 1977. On that day, Miami experienced its first snow since local meteorological records began to be recorded in the 1830s. Our climate here is very good, and many people
You want to come and settle here for a long time..."
Ni Xiaonu looked at Lin Sen longingly, which meant that he wanted you to settle here too. Lin Sen pretended not to see Ni Xiaonu's desire and remained silent.
Ni Xiaoni was a little disappointed, but continued to introduce: "The South Florida metropolitan area, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach, is the second largest metropolitan area in the world after Tokyo. Here
Hurricanes in Miami are very active. Hurricane season starts on June 1st and lasts until November 30th, but there are exceptions. The most likely time for a hurricane in Miami is from the end of August to the end of October. Statistically, Miami is the luckiest in the world
The cities that were able to escape the hurricane were Nassau in the Bahamas and Havana in Cuba.
Although many hurricanes have affected the city, including Hurricane Cleo in 1964, Hurricane Betsy in 1965, Hurricane Andrew in 1992, and Hurricane Irene in 1999.
and hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005, but fortunately, Miami has not been directly hit by a hurricane since Hurricane King in 1950. In addition, a hurricane in 2000
A tropical depression passes through Miami, bringing record rainfall and flooding."
After saying so much in one breath, Ni Xiaonu didn't feel tired. When it came to Lin Sen, she was really tired after listening!! Damn it, could it not be so long? Would it be fatal if I divided it into paragraphs?
"In Miami, there are many famous universities, such as Nova Southeastern University, Barry University, Johnson and Wales University, Miami International University of Art and Design, University of Miami, the latest
Usnews ranks No. 44 Florida International University (florida international university), Miami-Dade College (miami-dade college), St. Thomas University (st. Thomas University) and so on...
There are also many famous high schools, such as Belen Jesus Preparatory School, Christopher Columbus High School, Coral Reef High School, Design and Architecture Senior High School, Gulliver Preparatory School, Lhasa
Lasalle High School, Mastacademy High School, Miami High School, Miami Palm Mettosenior High School, New World School of the Arts, William Turner Technical High School, etc.
.”
Ni Xiaonu, Ni Xiaonu, you are really verbose, which makes my brother feel helpless! I can’t understand what you say!
