April 19 (UPI) Not all of the migrants hoping to claim asylum in the United States are fleeing Central America’s violence-torn “Northern Triangle” of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, contrary to popular perception.
Of the 71,021 asylum seekers waiting in Mexico for their applications to be processed in the United States as of late February, 16% were Cuban, according to federal immigration data.
That makes Cubans the third-largest group of migrants, just ahead of Salvadorans and after Guatemalans and Hondurans.
Why Cubans flee
The Cubans at America’s doorstep are mostly economic refugees. But since Cubans no longer have preferential status over other immigrants as they did until former President Barack Obama stopped automatically admitting Cubans who made it to the United States claiming asylum is now virtually their only hope of winning entry.
