Mexico to grant residency to 588 stranded Cubans
Mexico said on Friday it would grant residency permits to 588 Cubans who were stranded in the north of the country after the United States ended its "wet-foot, dry-foot" policy, which had given legal status to almost every Cuban to reach U.S. soil.
Mexico's National Institute of Migration (INM) said the beneficiaries of the program are currently in the city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, on the border with the United States, where the group was headed.
"INM has done everything to allow this group of foreigners of Cuban origin to obtain their residency in the country for humanitarian reasons," the institute said in a statement.
