Cubans looking for better lives

Luis Gallo, Costa RicaFebruary 10, 2016

More than 70,000 Cubans fled to the United States in 2015, making it one of the largest Cuban migrations to the United States in decades. This time, migrants are not arriving on the Florida shores by boat, but take a roundabout route through South and Central America to the Texan border. Recently their journey was interrupted by Nicaragua - a close ally of Cuban President Raul Castro.
