Cuban-Americans are also demanding Biden to do more.
Ramon Saul Sanchez: We need the help, Biden. Please help us, Biden. We need that help.
The Biden Administration says the U.S. is actively pursuing measures that will both support the Cuban people and hold the Cuban regime accountable.
President Joe Biden: Communism is a failed system. Cuba is, unfortunately, a failed state, and repressing their citizens.
But a major controversy was ignited in July when Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Cubans, unlike most illegal crossers at America’s southern border, will be sent back home.
Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas: People will be returned. One cannot take to the sea and come to the United States.
Cuban refugees had been offered entry into the U.S. under a special policy, put into place by President Bill Clinton. Known as “Wet Foot/Dry Foot,” it granted Cubans political asylum if they made it as far as one physical, dry foot out of the ocean onto U.S. soil.
President Obama ended that in 2017, in an attempt to build a better and more open relationship with Cuba in trade and tourism.
But according to recent investigations, tourism in Cuba largely helped the communist regime.
President Trump brought back sanctions against Cuba, but not the Wet Foot/Dry Foot benefit.
According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in 2016, under Wet Foot/Dry Foot, the United States deported only 64 Cubans.
Last year, in 2020, 1,583 were deported. An increase of over 2,000%.
But with the removal of Wet Foot/Dry Foot, the rise in deportations, and new talks to lift the embargo against Cuba, the protesters in Miami say the U.S. is conceding to Cuba’s communist regime.
Cuban Protester in Miami: We're here to, to stand alongside them and tell them Cuba, you're not alone. Miami is here with you.

A lady who grew up in communist Cuba escaped and lived in Oregon for years. She just left saying Oregon is showing what she saw in Cuba.
Amazed I am that BiXiden and Ginger Goebbels haven’t gone to Cuber and Venezuela to get advice on how to proceed to Utopia.
This is a way of shutting down the border. Pay for Cubans to fly into N. Mexico, then walk to the border. The Party would show their true colors in a heart beat, and maybe just maybe they would close the border. Isn’t there enough money in the Conservative base to sponsor 2 million white Christian South Africans to come to America over the open borders?

Recently met a few people from Poland who immigrated here in the 80’s. They all said we are moving in the wrong direction. They would know.

While on a camping vacation this summer I briefly met a woman who had escaped from Cuba years ago and was now living in Miami. She told me a little about her bad memories of her earlier life there, and added she’s now beginning to see similar things happening here. She was scared and said if the US continues in this direction she gave it 2 years before we’re “Cuba”. I wish I would have more time to chat with her.

Cubans get sent back because they cannot reliably be considered “unregistered Democrats.”
