Maximo Alvarez fled Cuba at the age of 13 as part of Operation Pedro Pan. His parents saw what was happening under the rule of Fidel Castro, and they wanted to spare their son what was to come. He was sent to join his brother in Spain. But when he arrived in Miami on his way to Spain, Mr. Alvarez learned that his brother had died. So, he stayed in Miami.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Mr. Alvarez offered his observations and a warning of what he sees happening in America.
