And since December 17. 2014. the President has engaged the regime. offering unilateral concessions that the Castros are more than happy to accept. If that is not enough for us to at least question our Cuba policy. we are now facing an unfolding Cuban migration crisis. The United States is faced with the largest migration of Cuban immigrants since the rafters of 1994. The number of Cubans entering the United States in 2015 was nearly twice that of 2014some 51.000and tens of thousands more are desperately trying to make the journey via South and Central America. I ask: Why would Cubans flee if the promise of a better life in Cuba is just on the horizon?
