#California #TikTok #FruitStand
Fruit Ninja, but IRL.
The American dream. ❤❤🎉
Hide the fruit!! 😳 The way they robbing in Cali they may target you with the promotion
This is a fruit dream come true.
Does California law allow to sell fruits in a stand like that?
If you have a business license etc… yes, but the majority of these fruit stands do not have either.
Yes, and this business has a license.
Ohhhhh my gosh, Karen.
LA county allows it.
AND NEITHER OF THEM SPEAK A WORD OF ENGLISH, EVEN THOUGH THEY’VE GOT A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS GOING ON, & HAVE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR HOW MANY YEARS 😠👎😠👎😠👎
So?
I mean,it would behoove them to learn the most widely spoken language in the country where they live and do business in. I wouldn’t move to Germany,open a business and not speak a word of German.
@@annamorgan9069🌮🫘💨
The irony is that many born and raised Americans that speak some form of English can’t barely hold a part time job.
Learning any language as an adult must be especially difficult but I imagine English is more so
These are illegal food stands. They don’t pay taxes or have health inspections
Viva México ❤👍🏽
My People ❤️🥂🥰
Illegals?
@@c.s.440 Why do you assume because they are Hispanic, they are illegals? These people contribute more to America than you 🤡🤡
@@c.s.440I see many people who are “legal” and are lazy waiting for hand me downs. These people who are fruit vendors are not being lazy.
@@dfelixrx7 there are millions of illegals who far outweigh the legal citizens in terms of laziness who are currently taking our hard earned tax dollars doing absolutely nothing demanding to be handed a house and top of the line work without having work for it so, nice try 🤡
Where u wash your hands at?
hmmmmmm. Good question
Hand sanitizer and latex gloves.
Portable hand wash station. It’s not rocket science
These vendors are breaking California State law. They are not paying taxes, often not legal citizens, vending in areas that are against city policy. This is a threat to democracy. This is not Mexico. He money you give them does not support our communities. It supports crime, and goes back to Mexico to support a county and people that is already taking enough from us. I don’t think this story is nice. You should shed light on how illegal immigrants come here then break our laws regarding food and sidewalk vending. It’s really disgusting. They are not coming here to become Americans. They came here to bring Mexico with them. Hey don’t speak any English, and I doubt they know any American history. These are NOT my people.
It so wonderful to see everyday Americans being successful and sharing their joy with the world. I hope they continue to be blessed. Just so beautiful to see.
Just because you live here does not mean you are an American
@@MH_6160 These people contribute more to America than you 🤡
If they were American they would know ENGLISH
@kushking949 Puerto Ricans are American citizens.
Native Americans are Americans.
Being American doesn’t require language qualification skills. The only requirement is to be law abiding, and loyal. It’s unfortunate that so many are purposely ignorant to how their own government works.✌🏾
@@MH_6160what makes this family American is their citizenship papers they’ve obtained legally.
Good for them! 🙌🍉🍊 These L.A. fruit stands always have the best fruit!
They look sooooo good! I wish I lived there to buy from their carts.
If they’re Mexican why is there Guatemalan flag on their stand 1:05
Ever think being “from a country” doesn’t always translate to ones ethnicity?? They may be from Mexico with Guatemalan heritage. Or the husband could be Mexican and Wife Guatemalan or vice versa. They being “from Mexico” doesn’t mean they can’t have ties to other countries. You can’t be that shallow. 🤯
They all the same
@@CrazyRacistAsian The green flag is the most patriotic.
@@user-er3ri6sc3j wow
WOW. Now I understand why Team Biden sees Hispanics as the future. 🤦
Surprised the cops havent confiscated / cited them.
They likely have the required permits to be so conspicuous
You must have missed that big A rating from the health department on their cart. They wouldn’t have that if they didn’t have a vendors permit
Their illegal .. these fruit vedors get thrown off the Santa Monica Pier.., off the local streets they don’t have proper licenses .. You tube videos all over about these illegal alien fruit vendors who scuff law ..and get either arrested, their fruit vendor carts and trucks confiscated.. Nice Try NBC ….get the facts
Even in mexico and Guatemala ne ee liked tatse of mango or papayaamd oranges were better mexico city fresh sqeezed for you swetest perfect orages i evee had in 1987 but traveling into guatamala the orangea wereuch different harder and light green and SOUR ALL THE TIME nebwr could digure that one out or cafe con leche is mostly milk and sugar little coffee in coffee country lol😂I imagine NOW THERES a Starbucks in Mex amd Guatemala city or Oaxaca? Not cool but predictable
Awesome! Fresh fruits are always welcome! Good luck. Great skills!
Excellent knife skills! Happy for you and your Family 💙
Go back 💨 have enough 🌮🫘
Go back where ? We’ve always been home, we’re not you
Because they get everything free💨🤮
If they were to get everything for free they would have no need to work
Exposing your own mentality 😂
dont let the tax man know……
Hurry, go and tell…
Whats really impressive is owning a fruit stand and still being obese.
I thought the fruit had to be cut beforehand…
You thought wrong
If you cut it before hand, the fruit starts spoiling at a higher pace my man. Cutting it as you buy it ensures the freshest you can eat. Hence why when you buy precut fruit at your grocery store loses flavor and it doesn’t taste the same. Also depending on the type of fruit. The consistency changes. Not necessarily for better.
🔥🔥🔥
😂🤣🤣” el ninja” 👍🙏❤️
I Love it😍😍
Immigrants making America better every day. ❤❤❤
Wishing them the best.
What’s the sauce they put on the fruit?
Chamoy sauce.
Chamoy is like a spicy tamarind sauce. Goes well with micheladas also
Alejandro has connections…. Criminals beware.
Sorry they don’t accept EBT, buddy
Illegals sent them back.
Americans hard at work!
AND NONE OF THEM PAY TAXES BUT FILE A TAX RETURN TO REQUEST REFUNDABLE TAX CREDITS!!
I’ve been saying that. California caters to mexicans
Here comes the sour patch
@@rickyricardo5423 you must get free housing. I drove by a food bank I saw all your cousins there
@@CrazyRacistAsian how’s life out in Slab City ? I see the Internet cafe is still up
You know illegal immigrants pay BILLIONS of dollars in TAXES every year Right?? I mean people can just be so ignorant without knowing the FACTS. And I’m not even saying they are illegal because I don’t know their Story. But people should know what they are talking about before they speak. Did you mind when Trump the billionaire paid $750.00 in taxes. Or 0 in taxes? Which one did you like better?
Fruit Ninja irl
I spend most of my time watching makeup tutorials as well
What’s your favorite thing about them?
@@lokokrz.gaming consumerism. Feeding the beast. Greasing the wheels that make this country great. You got a problem with that? We’ll go right now bro!
Deport them. We praise illegals making money without paying taxes. That’s crazy. No place to wash hands disgusting covid breeders
That’s amazing, their going to have to get a bigger spot to accomodate all the new customers Congrats to them! I want some!
hellow
Feel good story, love it!
I respect all the food vendors. Go out and support them!
So beautiful to see a family working for that dream together ❤, just do it
Good for them
For all those negative unhappy people, please share your successes on the same news channel. I would love to see what your legal status has allowed you to achieve.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nothing besides drink beer and criticism for fellow Americans. Those ignorant people actually think they are important to the country and haven’t contributed to society.😂 Atleast this couple does something for themselves.❤
@@lokokrz.gaming could not have said it better!!!
@@lokokrz.gaming seriously! I love exactly how you nailed the facts!!!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
IRS be like: “Who are these guys and how come they haven’t been paying taxes??? Are they illegals??? They must have been doing their business by “cash only” so we can’t track their bank accounts.”
Who cares. A bunch of taxes get lost within the government itself.
Awesome for you guys!
I don’t even think Gordon Ramsey can cut like this 😅
It is wonderful to see families doing their best to succeed. Hard work pays off.
Beautiful artistic skills. I hope one day to visit this fruit stand. We will add it to our to-do some day list…
Nice and folks can eat more healthy as well
Meanwhile your local blm tik toks are showing how to steal kias, how to smash and grab your local markets and … well you get the picture.
Do these businesses have to be licensed?
The police and health department used to cite them. Now it’s only taxpaying citizens paying rent to operate their businesses properly in brick and mortar buildings with hot and cold running water and toilets who have to obey the laws.
leave all the vendors alone, they don’t want the government to help them. They love to work and give the city a safety feeling when all vendors are working you can walk. Guess why some cities are so dangerous because there are not vendors, no flavor just McDonalds taco bell and chick Filla, boring. Vendors offer variety.
Praying that the couple that goes into business together Never forgets the reason they’re together. Wishing all immigrant workers strength to keep living the American Dream
This is why a TikTok ban would be disastrous for small businesses. 😢
Good for them knowing they really need that exposure.
Would like to buy his knive set and skill set….
I love this. Its always the wifes idea 🤗😉😄
Lol
i saw him once in front of a shop in pomona let me tell you getting fruit while being baked was the best decision ever
Hard working couple ❤❤❤ god keep them blessed always ✝️✝️
I really love stories like this! ❤
Learn English
May their business continue to flourish ❤
Good to see these hard-working fruit vendors showing off their incredible skills🙏
I wish I could move to Los Angeles from Canada and never look back
QUE GENTE TAN LINDA Y TRABAJADORES!!! ME ENCANTAN QUE DIOS LOS CUIDE DONDE QUIERAN QUE ESTEN❤😇🙏👏👏👏
I hate the ones hating on these hard working people who deserves all that they’ve earn.
A mean its the skill set that they have why they are able to earn
Wow amazing knife chopping
Fruit ninjas, we all watch these videos at 3am

Illegals? Why can’t they speak english?
