Cuban Immigration
Cuban immigration refers to the movement of people from Cuba to other countries, primarily the United States. This migration has been influenced by various factors, including political unrest, economic challenges, and the search for better opportunities. Many Cubans have sought refuge from the Cuban government since the 1959 revolution, leading to significant waves of immigration.
The Wet Foot, Dry Foot policy, established in 1995, allowed Cubans who reached U.S. soil to stay and apply for residency, while those intercepted at sea were returned to Cuba. This policy was ended in 2017, changing the dynamics of Cuban immigration and affecting many families seeking a new life.
