Cuban migrants give up on journey in Gun Bay
(CNS): A group of ten Cuban men who passed through Cayman Brac waters early Wednesday morning but had pressed on with their journey are now in the custody of Customs and Border Control on Grand Cayman. The group gave up on their voyage on Thursday when they came ashore in Gun Bay, East End, sometime after 6:00am.
Officials said the group of migrants will be processed in accordance with CBC protocols. With the recent change to the law, this means that any applications for asylum will be dealt with quickly, and the men could be deported in a matter of weeks.
This is the first group of migrants to land in the Cayman Islands since January.

Why would anyone flee that world class free healthcare and education?
Maybe I will use this forum to highlight a serous matter that is looming in the UK. I moved to the UK in 2012 with 2 of my sons mainly for educational reasons and to pursue football dreams. However we lived in a property for over 10yrs. Due to high inflation culminated with costs of living crisis and high interest rates landlords are taking back their properties all over the UK causing a serious housing crisis and homelessness. Unfortunately myself and have fallen victims to this crisis. The Councils in the UK are overwhelmed and placing people all over in Travel Lodges indefinitely as they are no houses available. I am highlighting this because I know families, university students and people coming to the UK for a better life will be severely impacted. So for now think twice, there is a serious housing crisis in the UK.
Due to mass migration. People don’t like to hear it but it’s true. won’t get better only worse.
The unemployment rate in Britain has reached its highest level in nearly two years, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported on Tuesday, adding that the spike was mainly driven by an increase in the number of people unemployed for up to six months.
According to the ONS, the number out of work increased to 4.2% compared to 4% recorded in the three months to the end of May, as the amount of job vacancies dropped by 66,000 to 1.02 million.
Meanwhile, wages have risen, with private-sector wage growth increasing to 8.2%, more than a key measure of inflation. Average weekly earnings, excluding bonuses, hit an annual growth rate of 7.8%, reaching record highs.
However, the growth was outpaced by the rate of price rises in Britain, meaning an effective pay cut for its working population.
The country remains in the grips of a severe cost-of-living crisis, with a higher inflation rate than other major European countries. Annual inflation in the UK currently stands at 7.9%, the highest among G7 nations.
