Two groups totaling 21 irregular Cuban migrants were detained this Sunday morning after landing at different points in the Florida Keys.

According to local media reports, the Border Patrol reported that 17 of them had arrived through Big Pine Key, while another four were found on Colony Beach Key.

The authorities described one of the boats in which they had arrived as “rustic.” No injuries or medical problems were reported among the migrants and, according to Patrol Chief Walter N. Slosar, on his Twitter account, they would be processed for deportation.

Attempts by Cuban citizens to reach the United States both by land and by sea have increased significantly in recent months due to the deep economic crisis the island is experiencing.

Meanwhile, the Cuban government points to the Cuban Adjustment Act as a reason for citizens from the island trying to reach the United States irregularly by land or sea. This legislation allows access to permanent residence in the northern nation to Cubans who remain at least one year in its territory.
