Of course, to travel to the US legally, Cubans still need a valid US visa. However, those who "flee" the island nation, will get US residency after one year of setting foot on US soil (if I understand correctly).
What then, is preventing every able-bodied and willing Cuban from getting on a boat and traverse the small distance between Cuba and the US? Going by plane, obviously, would require a visa - but coming by boat, or even better, by "raft" would make it a bit more compelling that the person is "fleeing."
Once they set foot on US soil, they are essentially legal - and have access to Medicaid, food stamps, Supplemental Security Income, English language classes, TANF, State Children's Health Insurance, vocational classes, job training, child care, etc.
How does it make sense to continue the wet foot, dry foot policy?
Should we put a fence somewhere in the ocean? Have permanent floating coast guard stations?
A multitude of links showing just one sports associated method.
they've got no choice but to ease restrcitions on their people due to the numbers of them still risking life and limb to leave. Either continue to be embarrassed or ease restrctions.

Strip them from all of this, and they will think twice before coming.
Of course, the sensible thing to do would be deny them "access to Medicaid, food stamps, Supplemental Security Income, English language classes, TANF, State Children's Health Insurance, vocational classes, job training, child care, etc."

Well , if those were the things they wanted they would stay in Cuba where they already get those things!!!!
I would say it's time for the "wet foot dry foot" policy to end, with exceptions for anyone who is actually still not allowed to leave Cuba.
