Biden To Repel Cuban's While Southern Border Open to Anyone Else

Biden's plan to repel a Cuban exodus: Administration will deploy a 'robust' presence' to the Florida Straits if refugees start fleeing communist nation and 'will send them back'

• A senior Biden official told Reuters on Thursday that the U.S. government is prepared if there is a mass exodus of Cubans fleeing the island 
• The official said the administration of President Joe Biden will have a 'robust presence' in the Florida Straits to encounter Cuban migrants fleeing on rafts U.S.
• Coast Guard data shows 536 Cubans have been stopped in the middle of the sea since October 1, 2020, the start of the current fiscal year
• President Obama's January 2017 executive decision ended the 'wet foot, dry foot' policy that granted permanent residency to Cubans reaching the U.S. 
• Cubans are permitted to apply for residence one year after they enter the U.S. legally 
• The policy is in stark contrast to what's happening on the southern U.S. border, where people can be reunited with family members while asylum cases play out 

Migrant arrests at the southern border rise for the SIXTH month in a row under Biden: Guards caught 188,000 crossing in June - and 2.3 MILLION are projected to arrive by the end of 2021

• Customs and Border Protection stats say a million have crossed since October.
• CBP revealed that 188,829 migrants were stopped at the southwest border in June, the sixth monthly increases since the start of 2021
• It was also another increase on the 180,641 who were apprehended in May 
• These statistics just account for the apprehensions, and doesn't include the migrants who cross undetected 
• According to reports that is up to 1,500 people every day 
• It is still not immediately clear where exactly these asylum seekers and illegal crossers are being sent 
• There also appears to be no available statistics on how many immigrants who are encountered and taken into custody are sent back to Mexico
