Obama pone fin al programa “pies secos, pies mojados”

Would-be Cuban emigres in a homemade boat are ordered by Cuban coast guards to return to the coast after their attempt to escape from the island was thwarted by the sea currents, on June 4, 2009 in Havana. The boat-people's raft was brought back to the coast just in front of the US Interest Section office in Havana as they tried to cross the shark-infested Florida Straits. The United States, in another move aimed at thawing relations with Cuba, has offered to resume migration talks with the communist-ruled island almost six years after they were suspended.

El presidente de EE.UU. Barack Obama puso este jueves fin a la política de “pies secos, pies mojados”, que había permitido a miles de cubanos permanecer legalmente en Estados Unidos y hacerse ciudadanos estadounidenses si lograban pisar tierra firme.

Fuentes oficiales dijeron a la agencia Associated Press que el cambio de la política tiene efecto inmediato, luego de meses de negociaciones entre funcionarios de los dos países.

Cuba señal que la política migratoria de Estados Unidos hacia la isla favorece la inmigración desordenada e insegura.
