Mexico deports 91 Cubans after U.S. ends ‘wet foot, dry foot’

Reuters:

Mexico’s government has deported 91 Cubans about a week after the United States ended a so-called “wet foot, dry foot” policy that granted residency to almost every Cuban who reached U.S. soil, Mexican officials said on Friday.

The repeal of the longstanding policy last Thursday by former U.S. President Barack Obama left hundreds of Cubans who were seeking a new life stranded in Mexico and Central America countries.

The 71 men and 20 women were flown to the Caribbean island by Mexican federal police jet from the southern city of Tapachula, Mexico’s National Migration Institute said.

The Cubans were in Mexico “irregularly,” the institute said in a statement, though they had applied for a permit to remain temporarily in the country.  more

8 Comments on Mexico deports 91 Cubans after U.S. ends ‘wet foot, dry foot’

  1. Mexico has some of the most draconian immigration laws in the world. The only reason so many Central Americans, Chinese and others can transit Mexico on the way to The Land of the Big PX®, is because of the rampant, top-to-bottom corruption in Mexico. Not only corruption, but there is a cottage industry in Mexico of robbery, rape and extortion against the waves of “immigrants” heading to del Norte.

    But you better not try to immigrate to Mexico illegally, or you’ll be in trouble! Why are they like that? Well, it was illegal immigration by us freedom-loving Americans into repressive Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas that pried Texas away from the despotic regime of Santa Anna!

    Build that f*cking wall YESTERDAY! Stop the Reconquista!

  2. Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America have passed through Mexico in the last eight years on their way to overrun our country. Mexico seldom sends any of them back to their native countries. Only the Cubans are fleeing communism. This is a rebuke to the Cubans for voting for Trump in Florida and guaranteeing his election. This is a legacy of Obama’s sniveling sellout to the Castro Brothers. Mexico wouldn’t have deported them unless Trump had won. Build the wall and make Mexico pay for it. Please hurry, President Trump.

  3. Hey everybody, here is Vicente Fox’s twitter account. Send him a message and ask him why is he not supporting the right of these Cubans to migrate as they please? Does that only apply to Mexicans? If so, can the Cubans sue Mexico for discrimination? 😉

    You know, Russia is vast and flat. They seem to get by with no walls, fences, nor moats for borders. How is that?
