Trump will not bring back ‘wet foot, dry foot’ Cuba policy

According to White House senior executives, President Cardo does not plan to bring back the so-called "wet feet, dry feet" policy to Cuban migrants.

This policy that President Obama was eliminated on the last day of the administration is one of many aspects of US policy towards Cuba that the Trump regime is considering.

This policy aims to tackle the refugee problem escaping the island and flighting to Florida.

In Miami on Friday, Trump announces that his government has changed the policy of the United States to Cuba, rolls back some of Mr. Obama 's changes during his second period, and has restrictions on travel and commerce We support an increase. The White House official said the White House will cancel the "interpersonal" category permitted to travel to the island with the changes announced on Friday and limit the financial transaction with companies strictly controlled by the Cuban army He said plans to do.

He also expresses new expectations to President Raul Castro or his successors as part of future negotiations, such as free and fair elections, release of political prisoners, direct compensation for Cuban workers It's a schedule.

"The new policy under the Trump regime will give power to the people of Cuba," the White House senior management told reporters at a briefing Thursday.

The policy of "wet feet, dry feet" formulated by President Clinton in 1995 generally allows Cubans to touch the US land to remain in the country. People arrested in the sea returned to Cuba. As an exchange of new policy, Cuba agreed to accept the Cubans who were deported in the United States, that the communist country refused to do for decades. "The US-Cuba debate on both sides of the individual acknowledged and agreed to end" wet feet, dry feet "along our national interests, Fleck said. "This movement brought our Cuban policy to a modern age, allowing the United States to continue to behave generously to individuals and refugees with legal asylum requirements."

A special policy called "wet feet, dry feet" permits you to legally stay in the United States after stepping into dry land, unless intercepted at the sea. After a year in America, these Cubans gained permanent residency rights. People intercepted were sent back to Cuba, where they were prosecuted and accused many people being tortured. Otherwise, Castro was a contradiction to his era. On the other hand, his Communist government established a more equal Cuban society by providing residents with free educational infrastructure, free medical care and free dwelling. He recalls his enthusiastic speech and will be remembered deeply by millions of Cubans who believe in the revolution, good or bad.

Prior to the 1980s, all refugees from Cuba entered the United States as political refugees. This situation changed in the 1990s, so only Cubans who arrived in the United States got asylum qualification under "Wet feet, dry feet policy". At the same time as the immigration policy of the United States got stricter, due to the policy of wet foot and dry leg, the Cubans were privileged to go to America compared to other immigrants. According to the 1970 US census, Cuban Americans live in 50 states. But as the subsequent census report showed, most Cuban immigrants settled in southern Florida. The new trend in the late 1990s shows that the number of immigrants from Cuba is less than before. When an American - born Cuban - American leaves the enclave, other nationality will settle there.
