The immigration privileges of Cubans in the United States are disappearing after the new measures of the Trump administration
Donald Trump's racist, anti-immigrant policies, supported by his Secretary of State and his Cuban-American cronies in Congress, have brought about abrupt changes, a kind of metamorphosis, in the status of Cubans in the United States, whose immigration "privileges" are vanishing with the strong winds of neo-fascism.
The same anti-communism that, during the Cold War crusade, used them as "refugees," "exiles," "protected individuals," "freedom fighters," with the subversive narrative that they had fled the communist clutches, now places them in the bottomless pit of the migrant who "threatens" national security, and has no patrons or favoritism, not even the compassionate gaze of their own countrymen in the State Department or on Capitol Hill, who, because of their cynicism, ended up behind fences as examples of traitors.
They have been left like children of nobody, at the mercy of the panic and fear that prevails in the face of bad news, which cascades in headlines of frustration and uncertainty in Miami newspapers and in the digital media of the local mafia.
Last Tuesday, the latest of these measures was announced, with the suspension of all immigration applications submitted by citizens of 19 countries included in a travel ban, including Cuba.
That decision by the Government affects permanent residency processes, naturalization and other immigration procedures, and has resulted in the cancellation of interviews and naturalization ceremonies.
Miami media themselves acknowledge that "the measure came in a context of increasing immigration repression and following recent national security incidents, including the shooting of two members of the National Guard in Washington, attributed to an Afghan citizen with asylum."
Any internal violent action, regardless of its origin or causes, is a wild card for implementing the plan to remove more than a million migrants from the country or to condition favors, immigration pardons on political commitments or recruitment for shady actions, it is not known against whom or where.
Each new measure by Trump, under the narrative of defending national security, has a significant human cost, especially for the rights of Cubans in the United States, who are persecuted or slandered for their political positions, jobs, responsibilities in Cuba, family environment, or for daring to question the performance of government politicians or the immigration measures themselves.
Furthermore, the annexationist dictatorship in Miami, led by Rubio and the apocalyptic legislators of Florida, pressures and blackmails the so-called silent majority of the Cuban community to prevent them from sending remittances, traveling, or communicating with their families, or they seek to erect new walls between the two countries, while the Secretary of State is busy freezing any minimal bilateral relationship.
Numerous videos document the brutality of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Human rights violations have also been reported at immigrant detention centers, including deaths.
People with citizenship, residency, who arrived legally, are persecuted or deported by arbitrary measures or criminalized after living for decades in the U.S., even after having served in armed structures and wars under the American flag.
Mothers and fathers separated from their children; families divided; children sent to Africa or other distant countries; confinement in prisons without the most basic conditions; arbitrary arrests in streets, workplaces and during the early morning, in their homes, while they slept, and mass transfers of deportees, in overcrowded conditions, poorly fed and deprived of all their rights to claim their immigration status.
Families who don't send their children to school for fear of being detained, suspension of trips to visit loved ones in Cuba for fear of having their immigration documents manipulated, being detained, or being deported from the U.S. Others have to hide their trips to the island so that employers don't suspend them, or they suffer the freezing of bank accounts, political and legal control of their conversations on social media that could cost them their stay in U.S. territory.
A blend of fascism and McCarthyism fuels the hunt for human beings, political persecution, and racial discrimination. The mafia, created and run by the Special Services, tries to exploit anti-immigrant fury to recruit and demand favors, even openly advocating annexation as a solution to the status of Cubans who wish to remain in the United States, amidst questions about its indifference or complicity with the tycoon's policies.
