    Sixteen Cuban migrants land at Marquesas Key; one found dead


    dadenews@MiamiHerald.com

    The U.S. Coast Guard recovered the body of a Cuban migrant from waters off Marquesas Keys on Wednesday shortly after intercepting 16 other migrants who made it to land.

    The Coast Guard dispatched a cutter and a rescue vessel to the area after getting a report that migrants were approaching in a ''rustic'' vessel, officials said.

    Sixteen migrants were ''dry-footed,'' meaning they would be allowed to remain in the United States under the wet-foot/dry-foot policy.

    The decade-old policy allows undocumented Cuban migrants who reach U.S. shores to stay here. Those caught at sea are routinely returned to Cuba, although a few have been allowed to enter the United States for medical or investigative reasons.

    Coast Guard officials learned of the missing migrant from the other migrants interviewed Wednesday at Marquesas Key and dispatched the cutter Matagordas, a rescue vessel and a helicopter, along with an Alabama National Guard airplane, to search the area. The man's body was spotted at 4:45 p.m.

    The Monroe County Medical Examiner's office will perform an autopsy.

    The other migrants were transferred to Border Patrol officials in Marathon, where they will be processed and released to relatives.

    I'm beginning to think there is a conspiracy to allow all Cuban refugees the opportunity to "wet-foot/dry-foot." In other words, I don't think anyone is serious about stopping them at sea. In the case before this one, the Coast Guard brought the Cubans to land. In this case, the Cubans were spotted at sea, but the Coast Guard failed to stop them from touching land, but yet they were still able to interview them???? I'm sorry, but I just don't think our government has any interest in stopping any illegal immigrants from entering the United States!
