Carta de Roberto, en California, a un amigo en México

I got this task to pretend that I'm a mexican who sneaked through the border into USA, and I'm writing a letter to my friend back in Mexico.
Can anyone see mistakes in this text? (I know I suck at spanish..)

!Hola mi amigo Roberto!

Estoy en California ilegal, vivo en un pueblo pequeño.
Estaba muy nervioso cubado cruze en la frontera de USA.
Me decidí a ir porque estaba cansado de la pobreza.
Por suerte, yo trabajo con barrer el piso de la tienda de mi abuelo.
Así que puedo ganar dinero suficiente para comprar alimentos.
!Hace buen tiempo en California, veinte grados y mas sol!
¿Cómo te sientes como en casa en México?
Tenemos que reunificamos una vez más el próximo año.
Espero que bien con usted!

Tu Amgio,
Andres

Thread title's capital letters fixed and thread moved to the right forum.

I see you have inserted some accents, so try doing that with all words that need them. On top of forum dialog boxes there is a dropdown menu for inserting all Spanish characters, including opening exclamation marks.



Hints and comments below:

Estaba muy nervioso cubado (wrong word) cruze (wrong spelling) en (wrong preposition) la frontera de USA.
Me decidí a ir porque estaba cansado de la pobreza.
Por suerte, yo trabajo con barrer (This suggests "barrer" is a person. Try rewording) el piso de la tienda de mi abuelo.
Así que puedo ganar dinero suficiente para comprar alimentos.
! ¡(Please use the right opening exclamation marks.) Hace buen tiempo en California, veinte grados y mas (wrong spelling) sol!
¿Cómo te sientes como en casa (You're saying "how do you feel at home in Mexico?", is that what you meant? If it's not, please try rewording.) en México?
Tenemos que reunificamos (wrong verb and wrong conjugation) una vez más el próximo año.
! ¡(Please use the right opening exclamation marks.) Espero que bien con (Fragmentary. Try rewording using more verbs) usted (wrong person)!

Tu amgio (wrong spelling),
Andrés

In addition to the corrections already mentioned, if the letter is from Roberto, as the title says, the wrong signature appears at the bottom.
