Twelve Cuban migrants come ashore on Cayman Brac
(CNS): One woman and eleven men from Cuba have disembarked from a vessel in Cayman Brac, officials from the Cayman Islands Customs and Border Control Service (CBC) confirmed Wednesday evening. The boat arrived in local waters at around 11:15am and the migrants came ashore. CBC did not say what caused the group to end their journey but they are now being processed in accordance with CBC’s established protocols and will be transported to Grand Cayman to join over 180 migrants already under CBC supervision.

I can only wish them well in their lives. They will spend some time here, then be transferred to Grand Cayman, and after a lengthy stay, they will be repatriated.
I cannot imagine the amount of strife I would have to be under to attempt the open ocean on one of their crappy boats even between the Sister Islands, let alone from Cuba to Costa Rica or other destinations in Central America.
If you all reading this aren’t thanking God (or whomever you worship) for your life and living condition, then you are not nearly humble enough.
The world is changing. These poor people are a symptom of the inequalities of the world. I’m not saying that we should welcome them, but at the very least we should not be denigrating them.
