Dominican Immigrants detained in Cuba

dominican immigrant boat
96 dominicans who left their country on the way to Puerto Rico on the November 13th, 2008 are supposedly serving jail terms in Cuba. Bad weather had them change the course on the Mona canal after leaving the Samana, in the north of Dominican Republic.

According to Eriko Cuba, the spokesmen of the familes affected, the dominican navy had the knowledge that drugs and arms were transported on the boat.

Cubans get the green card as soon as they show up in the US, legally or illegally. Why not Dominicans?

On the morning of April 7th, 2006 a 45 foot cabin cruiser landed in South Florida with 45 Haitians, 1 Jamaican and 1 Cuban. After a short detention the Cuban was set free to begin a new life in the United States while the Haitians were rounded up, interviewed and sent back to Haiti.

Because of the ?wet-foot, dry-foot Policy? a Cuban caught on the waters between the two nations, "wet feet", would summarily be sent home or to a third country. One who makes it to shore, "dry feet", gets to stay in the United States, and later would qualify for U.S. citizenship.

Temporary Protected Status also known as TPS is provided to aliens temporarily unable to safely return to their home country because of ongoing armed conflict, the temporary effects of an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions. Right now the United States recognizes Burundi, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Somalia and the Sudan under TPS. Haitians are presently requesting to qualify for TPS since their home country clearly qualifies under the description of TPS.

Haitians took to the streets of Little Haiti in Miami on Saturday April 22nd 2006 and marched to the INS building on Biscayne Boulevard and NW 79th Street in protest of their country men being sent back to Haiti, to show light on the discrepancy between Cuban aliens and Haitians reaching the shores of United States, and to bring attention to the fact that under TPS rules Haitians would clearly quality for Temporary Protected Status. Although the crowd started off small it grew very large as the march reached the INS building.
