With only a few weeks left in fiscal year 2016, there are thousands more U.S.-bound Cubans stranded in Central and South America. They are hoping for additional airlifts to the U.S. southern border so they can take advantage of the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA) and the "wet foot, dry foot" policy that give them immediate legal status in the United States and full access to welfare.
During the first five months of 2016, thousands of Cubans stranded in Costa Rica and Panama were transferred to Mexico through a series of airlifts and bus transfers.
