By fueling an economic crisis in the Latin American nation, according to Havana, the United States is to blame for the exodus of Cuban migrants.
The economic embargo, which has been strengthened in recent years, has severely restricted the Cuban economy and the standard of living for its people, which encourages migration, according to a statement from the foreign ministry of Cuba on Wednesday.”
According to the ministry, there has been a “noticeable growth” in the recent weeks and months in the flow of undocumented Cuban immigrants traveling through the Central American corridor in search of asylum in the United States.
According to the statement, there has been a noticeable increase in the irregular migration of Cuban citizens through the Central American corridor toward the United States in recent months and weeks.
According to data, a record-breaking number of Cubans crossed the US border last year.
Due to US sanctions, Cuba’s economy is going through a crisis like no other, with shortages of essentials like food, fuel, and medicine.
Immigrants from Central America are escaping “the hell” the US created, says an analyst.
According to American political analyst and activist Myles Hoenig, immigrants from Central America are escaping “the hell” that the United States has made for them in their home countries.
According to Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate for Congress, immigrants to the US “are being deprived, not just of basic human rights and their dignity, but the rule of law and our historical responsibility,” in an interview with Press TV
“Regardless of their legal right to be here, separating children from their parents, imprisoning people, depriving them of the necessities of life, especially in terms of hygiene, and then blaming them for these issues is the hallmark of a depraved human being,” he said, responding to a statement made by former President Donald Trump, who advised undocumented immigrants to avoid traveling to America if they are unhappy with the conditions at detention facilities.
According to Hoenig, “This has a historical context on the other side of it. Many of the drug cartels these migrants are fleeing were the military officers and government officials who needed a new career path after the dirty wars of Central America ended, which was funded by the US and the torturers, murderers, and extortionists were trained by the School of the Americas in Georgia. Unknown, or willingly unknown to most Americans, the US played a role in creating the hell from which they were escaping”.
