Mexico deports 60 immigrants in an irregular situation to Cuba

A total of 60 Cuban immigrants who were in an irregular situation in Mexico were returned to the Island on Friday.

The group was made up of 51 men and 13 women from all the provinces of the country.

As in other operations of this type, the returnees arrived at the José Martí airport on a flight of the Mexican airline Magnicharters.

According to the official agencyLatin Press, the Aztec nation has deported 1,629 Cubans this year.

They all left Cuba legally and once in Mexico they continued their journey with the aim of reaching the United States across the border.

So far this year, 114 return operations by sea and air have been carried out, in which more than 5,500 illegal Cuban migrants have been expelled from Mexico, the United States, the Bahamas and other destinations.

Of that number of operations, 68 correspond to the United States Coast Guard, which has returned 3,680 people to Cuba, many intercepted on the high seas in precarious and improvised boats.

less than 10 days agoMexico deported 74 Cuban immigrants, in compliance with bilateral migration agreements.

The presence of the islanders in Aztec territory has increased since Nicaragua eliminated the visa requirement for them, which opened a door to the thousands who travel to that country to from there undertake a land journey to the United States.

This has led to an increase in the number of Cubans who manage to enter through border points between the United States and Mexico, which in the current fiscal year is already 175,359.

In total, from October 1 to July 31, a total of177,848 Cubans have entered by land (includes the border with Canada) and requested political refuge, which constitutes a new record in the Cuban migratory flow.
