And young cuban fisherman resident in the United States found an abandoned migrant raft in Florida waters.
The Cuban has a social media channel known as "Fishing in Miami". He shared a video in which he shows the boat and you can see under what conditions the rafters venture to the sea to escape the misery and repression in Cuba.
"The video is for the Cubans who know this raft, so that the relatives know that they arrived. It is seen that it was registered by the Coast Guard, so they already found it. I imagine that they have arrived safely," he said.
However, in general, when a vessel appears marked by the Coast Guard it is a case in which they were intercept at sea and its occupants are detained by the US authorities under penalty of being deported to Cuba.
In those cases, the Coast Guard puts the date of the discovery at sea and an "ok" to indicate that the Cuban rafters they were rescued.
The young fisherman found this raft in Key Biscayne. It is very precarious, with a wooden and poly-foam structure. It has no engine, only oars.
"It has a nylon full of sugar, there are pullovers and things lying there. It's a gentleman's rower. Look at that! There is no motor there. There are two poly-foams and it's going hard. I take my hat off. Blessings and welcome to the United States "said the young man on Tik Tok.
Last week some American fishermen found a boat adrift. Everything seems to indicate that it belonged to Cuban rafters who arrived in the Florida Keys. It was also a rustic, handcrafted boat.
The migration crisis in Cuba continues despite changes in American politics. Many people know that they will not be able to have a humanitarian parole and the desperation on the island drives them to look for other ways to escape the shortcomings imposed by communism.
