MEXICO CITY (AP) — The Mexican government says it has started the process of giving residency permits to 588 Cuban migrants who have been stranded in the border city of Nuevo Laredo since the U.S. 'changed its immigration policy in January.

The National Immigration Institute says the permits don't constitute political asylum or refugee status because the Cubans don't "face any type of persecution."

The institute said Friday the first 273 of the Cubans will soon get residency permits that will allow them to work.

Washington's former policy gave Cubans who reached U.S. soil an automatic path to legal residency.

The United States ended the policy on Jan. 12 as a part of normalizing ties with Cuba.

Other Cubans found further south in Mexico have simply been sent back to Cuba.

Oh that's so sweet. Send the 8 to 10 million illegal aliens in the US from Mexico back to Mexico so they can be welcomed home like the Cubans are being welcomed in.

Now that they are Mexican 'residents', she can simply come over with all the other illegals our government loves and support.

Heck, this probably just put them in a better position.

At least she had her "one-month old daughter" in Mexico and not on our soil.

That probably wasn't her plan.
