On Febuary 13th, a Disney cruise ship picked up a dozen migrants who were outbound from Cuba, suspected to be heading for the US. Their boat was hardly a boat at all, and practically a raft.
It is also suspected that they made the journey due to fears that recent policies regarding passage to the US would be short-lived. The same ship picked up 8 migrants in 2013.
What we're seeing is a fading glimpse of what used to be a much more common occurrence, Cubans fleeing their oppressive government to the US. I feel that relations with Cuba are at an all-time high, and we're working on becoming close allies.
