A group of 184 Cubans, who had traveled through Guatemala to reach Mexican territory at Ciudad Hidalgo in the southern state of Chiapas, received from Mexican authorities a provisional visitor's document which, for humanitarian reasons, allows them to travel the length of this country to the United States.
The 39 families, which include a number of pregnant women, left Costa Rica last Thursday on a flight to El Salvador, from where they traveled in four buses through Guatemala to the Mexican border.
The National Migration Institute, or INM, provided the 184 Cubans with a provisional visitor's document granting them up to 20 days to reach the United States by their own means, where they hope to take advantage of the benefits offered by the Cuban Adjustment Act, popularly known as "wet foot, dry foot."
From Jan. 1 to Feb. 4, the INM delegation in Chiapas has received "2,259 foreigners of Cuban origin."
In 2015, the INM attended 12,102 Cubans who received the same benefits, it said.

A) They misspelled 'wetbacks', and
B) The sentence is factually wrong.
No setbacks for the wetbacks?
Now, they can vote for their Cuban Rube!
Anyone think that Trump wouldn’t stop this ?
<SJW-mode/
Why, ...why...
THAT'S JUST ONE LETTER DIFFERENT THAN 'WETBACKS'
RACIST!
Sexist! Bigot! Homophobe! /LIberal Tourette's mode>

The Cubans arrived in Mexico without setbacks; they’ll arrive in Texas without wetbacks (since they would be allowed in legally).
That is very generous of the Mexican government to allow illegal immigrants to stay a whole 20 days before being deported. The US should adopt that policy.
Yup. Trump is fine with opening up relations with Cuba. As always, he just thinks he could have “made a better deal”.
Is that a real poster?!!
Read that 50,000 Cubans were admitted to the US last year as refugees / permanent residents.
So in 220 years (+/-), Cuba will be empty.
If Cuba is such a communist utopia as Hollywood would have us believe, why do they want to come here?
They’ll all be here on welfare.
My SIL lives in rural SW Missouri where there are a lot of chicken “processing” plants (aka slaughterhouses).
10-15 yrs ago, illegal Mexicans displaced all the Americans working there, most of those displaced went on welfare.
Now imported Somali Muslims have displaced the Mexicans and the Mexicans are on welfare.
It’s weird to drive through these podunk towns and see all the commercial signs in Spanish and Arabic.
Fundamental transformation.
184 illegals until gestation is complete. Then 184 illegals plus undetermined amount of anchor babies.
It’s funny how that goes. I remember how Italians ran most of the fish and chip and ice cream shops when I was young in Scotland. When I was last back for a visit in the 80’s, it was mostly Vietnamese running them. Here in California these days it seems to be all the Asians run the donut shops (and do it well, come to think of it...love my donuts). And a tremendous amount of Indians, mostly from Pakistan, seem to be running small motels and 7-11’s these days. Funny how some hard working, motivated nationalities seem to gravitate towards very specific easily managed industries to begin, make a go of it, and when their children grow and become proficient at school, etc., they then take their place higher up the food chain and a new immigrant labor force from another country then gains dominance in those specific markets.
