The Cuban rafter’s exodus through Latin America continues unabated. This exodus is going to get worse. The rapprochement with the Castroit regime is working full throttle in reverse.27 Cubans arrive on Honduras coast thinking they reached Costa Rica

January 11th, 2016 (ICR News) A group of 27 Cuban migrants came to shore in Honduras on Sunday after being adrift at sea for several days and thought they had reached Costa Rica, where thousands of their fellow countrymen are currently awaiting their chance to continue a journey through Central America in order to reach the United States.
The migrants were apparently left adrift after encountering strong weather during their voyage, but believed that they had arrived at their intended destination, Costa Rica, local media in Honduras reported.
The Cubans came to shore in the Caribbean coastal community of Punta Sal, and were surprised to find that they were not in Costa Rica territory, Honduras’ La Prensa reported.
Authorities in Honduras said that the migrants were transferred to a facility in the city of Tela, while the country begins deportation procedures to send the migrants back to Cuba.
Many of the Cubans trying to escape from paradise’s island have drowned, others have been found dead in containers ships, in the wheel well of airplanes, etc. Those risk takers that have manage to survived, are the ones we should be welcoming instead of sending them back.U.S. Coast Guard: Cuban Refugees Drink Bleach, Jump Overboard When Caught
Cuban Refugees Drink Bleach upon Seeing U.S. Coast Guard

Cuban refugees caught before landing on American soil jumped off Coast Guard vessels, drank bleach, and capsized their own makeshift vessels in attempts to avoid being sent back to the communist regime in Havana, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to Breitbart News Thursday.
In a news blurb Wednesday, the Associated Press reported that Coast Guard officials have documented “more hostility” among Cuban refugees attempting the perilous voyage from Cuba to Florida. While the AP headline touted that the refugees had become increasingly violent, the examples it provides are exclusively of incidents of self-harm: “more are jumping overboard, trying to poison themselves or suffering self-inflicted wounds in attempts to be taken to U.S. shore.”

MIAMI, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A Disney cruise ship rescued a group of 12 suspected Cuban migrants in the Caribbean Sea, the U.S. Coast Guard said Sunday.
The ship, Disney Wonder was on its way from Miami to the Cayman Islands when the small vessel was spotted southeast of Cuba at about 8 p.m. Saturday.
The 12 migrants who were identified as Cuban, were afloat on what the Coast Guard calls a "rustic" vessel, U.S. Coast Guard 7th District spokesman Jon-Paul Rios said, a term for any un-seaworthy craft.
The group was taken aboard the cruise ship, where they were transported to authorities on the Cayman Islands, Rios said. It is not known however, if the group was attempting to get to the United States.
The Disney Wonder rescued a group of eight migrants from a raft off Key West in 2013. Cruise ship companies have agreements with the U.S. Coast Guard to alert them when they come in contact with migrants. Following those agreements, Disney Wonder dropped the migrants off at the ship's next port of call and handed them over to authorities.
A growing number of Cuban migrants have been picked up recently. Experts believe Cubans might be trying to reach the United States because they fear warming relations between the two countries will soon make the United States resistant to accepting Cubans as refugees.
While Obama was in his way to Cuba, Cuban rafters continue to die in the strait of Florida. This is another sign of the fail approached of the Obama administration in its dealing with the Castroit regime.
The Cuban escaping from the “worker paradise” is like a never ending movie. It is really very frustrating that due to the U.S. policy they are send back to the island of Dr. Castro. It takes so much desperation and courage to escape in makeshift rafts and near the end of the road to be send back to hell.
Even the policemen are getting the hell out of the Island of Dr. Castro. The exodus hemorrhage of Cubans continues unabated.Cuban Rafters Dressed In Police Uniforms Reach The Coasts Of Florida

A video posted Monday on the social network Facebook shows the arrival of 26 Cubans to the Florida Keys, aboard a rustic raft. The recording, published by the user Jose Carrera, reflects the moment when the raft touches land with the illegal immigrants on board, among them two men dressed in the uniforms of Cuba’s National Revolutionary Police (PNR).
Hector Joel Carrera, one of the rafters who appears in the video, commented to this newspaper by phone that the group left from Guanabo, on the coast north of Havana, at midnight last Saturday. There were 25 men and one woman on the boat, which was at sea for more than 30 hours, he said. During the crossing they tried to avoid the Cuban and United States Coast Guards, and so they used the engines only at night.
“The problem is that in Cuba building a boat is a crime, if you are caught taking it the sea you lose everything. That happened to us twice on land,” Carrera explained to 14ymedio, The rafter said that this was the group’s fourth attempt to get to the coast of the United States. On a previous occasion, the raft was intercepted by the US Coast Guard after traveling 75 miles from the island.

Raul Castro’s reforms are so good and so welcome by the Cuban people that they continue escaping from the island paradise on rickety rafts or their relatives pay to human smugglers to take them out of Cuba and bringing to the U.S.
After the normalization of relation, Cubans keep fleeing in record numbers. Young people realize that there is not future for them in the island of Dr. Castro. These 19 that arrived on Keys shores, were preceded for another 23 that arrived the day before.Cuban migrants make landfall in the Keys

With the calming seas this time of year come more migrants trying to make it across the Florida Straits from Cuba.
Friday, 19 more arrived on Keys shores. Twelve men landed their homemade sailboat at 4 a.m. at Harry Harris Park in Tavernier around mile marker 92.5 oceanside and seven others landed around 11 a.m. on an island off Geiger Key in the Lower Keys. They followed a Thursday landing about 2 a.m. at Smathers Beach in Key West, where 21 Cuban men and two women alit.
“During the calm season and with the weather patterns” of the summer, more migrant trips are expected, U.S. Border Patrol Supervisory Agent Adam Hoffner said.
He said that with the U.S.’ rapprochement to the Cuban government after half a century of having no diplomatic ties, some Cubans fear that the wet-foot, dry-foot policy that allows Cubans who make it to American soil to stay will go away. That’s driving many to try to make it the 90 miles across the sea.
This is the boat that took 12 migrants from Cuba to Tavernier at the Harry Harris Park shore.
