Cuban migrants who stay in Costa Rican soil
It is no secret that these Cubans legally left Cuba to other Latin American countries, meeting migratory regulations. But for Washington and the mainstream media in the international press, anyone who decides to make his life project outside the island is not an emigre, but on the simple fact of living in a socialist country automatically becomes a persecuted for his political ideas. Meanwhile, seem deliberately omit that, with the enactment of the Cuban Adjustment Act in another attempt to destabilize our nation, the United States gave preferential treatment to those who leave Cuba and stepped on US soil.

The Cuban Adjustment Act encourages to leave the country illegally endangering their lives under the illusion of the American dream.
This Act of 1966, created by Congress, harbored the alleged Cuban refugees arriving, in order to facilitate the legalization of those who claimed political persecution. Nearly 50 years later, I collapsed the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union disintegrated, nothing changed. Cubans can enter the United States without visas or criminal background checks; are the only group of migrants in the world to arrive in that country are considered political refugees eligible for social assistance and other assistance; They are the only ones after a year and a day can obtain permanent residence and, without jeopardizing their immigration status, they may return to Cuba before becoming US citizens.
To make matters worse, amid an escalation against Cuba, when the immigration issue seemed ordained bilateral agreements after 1994, just a year later, the US government implemented the policy of "dry feet, wet feet" which stated that the Cubans caught at sea they were returned to Cuba, but who landfall would be hosted under the protection of the status of political refugees. It is an encouragement to illegal emigration, privileges not enjoyed, nor enjoy, the emigrants of any other nationality.
An expert on issues related to Cuba, Vicki Huddleston, former coordinator for Cuban affairs at the State Department between 1989 and 1993 during the administration of Republican George H. Bush and former head of the Interests Section in Havana United States between 1999 and 2002 , during the administration of Democrat Bill Clinton he took action in The New York Times : "Under an informal policy known as" wet foot, dry foot "Cubans caught in the waters between Cuba and the United States are sent home or a third country, while Cubans who reach US shores are allowed to stay. This policy must be rescinded-an action that can occur through an executive- order to promote the safe and orderly migration and to saving lives. "

In his recent article , "In no way should be encouraged illegal trafficking" , the Cuban intellectual Rolando Lopez del Amo, wrote an eloquent statement about this phenomenon: "The contradictions of US policy toward Cuba make a Cuban citizen to which the US government has denied entry visa through normal channels, it is accepted as a resident in that country if it enters clandestinely. The rest of Latin Americans who arrive illegally are arrested and deported. If the United States adopted a law on Latin American setting, the territories taken from Mexico in the nineteenth century repopulate the descendants of their ancestors. "
If these benefits are conferred only Cubans were offered to immigrants of other nationalities, the US territory would be occupied in matters of days by an avalanche; however, even if they insist on selling the image of the Island flee in terror to American soil, statistics Pew Research Center, based in Washington, show that in 2010 the highest percentage of the migrants contributed Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and Dominican Republic. These countries, ironically, do not have an Adjustment Act.

Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama and Dominican Republic are those that provide the highest percentage of emigrants to America countries.
Data from the last census conducted in the US show another undeniable truth: from the largest green card holders are, in this order: Mexican, Chinese, Indians, Filipinos and Dominicans.

The contrast between the facilities granted to Cubans becomes increasingly evident. In an interview with the Cuban News Agency , the American lawyer and specialist on immigration issues, Jose Pertierra, said that while the rest of the migrants who come to the US are pursued -at which point the Security Department hires private prisons to incarcerate them, including women and children, Cubans are measured by different rules. Hence a remarkable inequality is believed in the deal.

Jose Pertierra. Lawyer and expert on immigration. Does your firm in Washington DC.
In keeping with the subversive interests of US policy toward Cuba, those born in the Greater Antilles are granted the famous green card; but for the rest of the migrants to the border with Mexico is a barrier that is becoming ever more insurmountable. According to statements by Jeh Johnson , Secretary of Homeland Security United States, over the last three years the number of immigrants caught at the border limit of the United States, amounting to 1.224 million.

Americans themselves recognize congressmen of Cuban origin that fundamental budgets to shelter Cuban political exiles are weakened day after day. An article in El Nuevo Herald of Miami, on January 7, 2015, reflects the opinion of Senator Marco Rubio, presidential candidate for the Republican Party and exponent of the extreme right in Miami:
http://razonesdecuba.cubadebate.cu/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Print-screen-Marcos-Rubio-300x275.jpg
Others like Mario Diaz-Balart, recognize that in Congress many wonder about the true spirit of the Cuban Adjustment Act, as if on the island are persecuted and repressed people and, for that reason, be allowed to enter US political character, then refugees, how do they return to Cuba several times a year without anything happening to them.
An Associated Press published in The Washington Post, November 23, says that, ironically, the Cuban Government shares the view of a growing number of Cuban-American lawmakers who believe that the Cuban Adjustment Act, typical of the Cold War, It is being abused by economic migrants from Cuba, rather than being designed for political refugees as originally planned.
The anti-Cuban press is silent, quite deliberately, which in recent decades only a tiny fraction of Cubans who emigrated to the United States qualify for political refugee status raised by the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the UN are essentially , people who yearn for the return of Cuba to capitalism and worked in our country at the service of a foreign government, in this case the United States itself, for serving as employees in the context of Cold War.

The US State Department itself and the Immigration and Naturalization Service attribute political asylum when "there is personal persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular group or political side." If it is so, they must be submitted tests demonstrating its category of people persecuted or in danger of being at one point by the above reasons. Also, they recognize that the political dissatisfaction per se, does not justify the granting of the status of political refugee.
