More than 100 Cuban migrants from among the 1,300 stranded in Panama on Sunday received immigration permits that early next week will allow them to travel legally to Mexico, where they will be able to continue their land journey to the United States.
This is the first group to resume their trek from Panama to the United States after Costa Rica closed its border in December saying it was unable to continue housing the more than 7,000 Cubans who were also trying to make it to the United States but who had been stranded there after being denied passage through Nicaragua.
A bus - costing $13.50 per person - will await them in Ciudad Juarez, where the authorities will see to it that they arrive in El Paso, Texas, Isabel Cristina Perez, one of the migrants, told EFE.
Once they get to Ciudad Juarez, the Cubans will receive a visitors document as a humanitarian gesture giving them 20 days to cross into the United States, an official with the Mexican National Immigration Institute told EFE last Thursday.

Is this a free pass to legally enter the USA, or just a pass from Mexico good to stay there for 20 days to swim across the Rio Grande?
I thought the US and Cuba were friends now. Why is there a need for cubans to “escape paradise” now?
Well they can’t be coming here for the healthcare...at least that’s what Michael Moore told me.
Who in the Obama administration makes all these arrangements?? It seems odd that we are luvvy, dovvey with a country whose human rights causes all this migration? How many are Castro’s agents??
Maybe these Obama communists' bus will be caught in a mountain landslide on the way.
But I'm also sure that a bus full of Cubans can just drive up to the port of entry and claim asylum in the US and after processing, be released into thr US while their application is reviewed.
We all know it's John Kerry!
Once in Florida they proceed to their final destination (presumably a relative or friend of their family) and are immediately eligible for welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, Supplemental Security and free housing........
Democrats have a new word for Illegal Aliens , “Migrants”
A bus? LOL. All they have to do is walk across the bridge to get from Juarez to E.P.! I've done so a number of times (back in the '80s).
These “emigrants” must be insane. Just why are they leaving the workers’ paradise of Cuba???
Isn’t it great we have the entire world helping to traffic human beings illegally in to the USA?
All that free health care, the standard of living, the exceptional civil rights, the magnanimous government, they must feel guilty having it so good.
Hey, obozo can just bring a bunch of them back with him from Cuba next month. He could press Air Force One into business and save them all the laborious trip....There’s time to make lots of trips between March 2016 and January 2017...JERK!
“”These “emigrants” must be insane. Just why are they leaving the workers’ paradise of Cuba???””
Perhaps there’s been a deal made between them and the celebrities and politicians that have heaped praises on that country for years. We’d probably be better off with that kind of trade.

The poor souls probably keep their mouths shut so as to stay above the ground.
