The arrival of Cuban rafters grows 48% compared to the same period in 2015

Immigration expert Wilfredo Allen believes that once Trump assumes the US presidency, it is very possible that the ways Cubans can access that country will become more complicated.

The Cuban lawyer Wilfredo Allen, an expert in Immigration, talks with the journalist María Elvira Salazar (in her Mega Noticiero), about the increase in Cuban rafters who are arriving, in recent weeks, to the coasts of Florida, and about other related topics with the growing Cuban migration to the United States.

Allen also clarifies that the detention of some Cubans on the border with Mexico is something that has always happened, but he believes that at this time it is being given greater impact than in previous times because it is being associated with Trump's imminent arrival to power.

It specifies that always around 10 or 15% of all Cubans who arrive at the Mexican border have been sent to Detention Centers and then deported to Cuba. Allen predicts that starting in January it will become more difficult for Cubans to enter through the Mexican border.

He also believes that it is not so easy for the Cuban Adjustment Law to be eliminated, but he does consider that the processing for rafters could become a little more complicated, as well as economic aid to Cubans being restricted.

In all cases, Allen considers that once Trump assumes the US presidency, it is quite certain that the forms of access of Cubans to the United States, as well as the conditions of integration of Cubans into North American society, they harden a little.
