i grew up in a miami which was a very nondiverse miami, heavily southern. that's why i have a little bit of a southern accent. and it is become a great international city and i'm proud of the model that miami represents of how you can accept people from around the world and in a relatively short period of time have them both maintain the things that they admired about their previous culture, but also become a fully, 100% functioning american participating in our democracy. i think that's a lesson that miami can teach to other cities in and miami that are undergoing the exact same transition. >> host: a close election, but florida went for president-elect trump. what do you say to people here who are concerned about immigration? >> what i say is, one, we should be proud of how well the process has worked here in miami. miami would not be the vibrant international city it is today, but for the large number of immigrants who have come over the last 50 or 60 years. second, i would say that i think some of the lessons that we've learned is be tolerant of people

here is the scene in miami, florida. you see here people came together despite the rain to celebrate the death of this former cuban leader. but in havana, a very different scene. things have been quiet there. news of castro's death has likely not reached many of the cubans as it broke late night. in fact we learned that many people were just learning the news, some of them from our own correspondent who is there on the ground and covering the story. >> people will continue to learn the news through the coming hours and into the morning there. it's 5:30 local time, people will start waking up soon and some of those people are in for a very big shock. joining us now for more on fidel castro's death is john lee anderson, staff writer for the new yorker and he has profiled castro. mr. anderson, what is the someone thing, is for for someone like yourself who has worked so much on fidel castro, what is the one thing that you will remember? >> i think he became the prototype, the modern paradigm for the outlaw political leader,

>> i think the "miami herald" writer had a good point. crying in the sense of -- i guess the overwhelming of it all. the fact they never thought this moment was going to come. being in the market when i was in local news for five years, you would constantly get tales of hopes that fidel castro had passed on. some sort of indication, i assume for what was lost when people were pushed out of their homeland. so the tears shed are not for the loss but more so for the overall moment. >> alejandro following the situation in miami where as we are hearing and seeing from our affiliates that people are celebrating in the streets that the former cuban leader fidel castro died at the age of 90 years old. >>> cue hours ago, castro informed the cuban people in a statement in of the death of his brother fidel. he said dear people of cuba with profound pain i have to inform you and our friends of america and to the world that november 25th, 2016 at 10:29 in the evening the commander and leader 0 the cuban revolution fidel castro died following explicit
