In addition to the painful prospect of spending years without seeing their relatives, many of the affected complain that immigration officials charged them in advance for the service, but later they suspended the program and they haven\u2019t even been reimbursed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe problem here is the silence. The government suspended the program but didn\u2019t give back the money, which was quite a lot. People are upset with this, but the worst thing is the silence. There is no explanation from immigration or the secretary of state and, in return, all they offer is rejection. Even for us,\u201d explains to <strong>OnCuba <\/strong>Jorge Benavides, a Cuban-American immigration lawyer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The official position of the immigration services is that the program is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/cuba-usa\/cuban-parole-under-review-according-to-uscis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cunder review,\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but it\u2019s been like that since it was suspended in 2017, when the U.S. embassy in Havana was virtually closed due to the never fully clarified \u201csonic attacks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the lawyer refers in particular to an unusual decision made two weeks ago by the Miami-Dade County Commission to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/cuba-usa\/miami-dade-councilors-vote-against-family-reunification-for-cubans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">urge the federal government<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to keep the \u201cparole\u201d program suspended, something that a large number of Cuban-Americans have openly rejected, among other reasons, because the county has no power in foreign policy, a space that is exclusive to the federal government. So far Washington has not given importance to the matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSometimes I think that whoever makes these decisions doesn\u2019t love us Cubans. It is painful that there are Cubans who agree with this, it doesn\u2019t make sense, it seems that they want to punish us for something I don\u2019t understand,\u201d Marta Luc\u00eda, a Cuban who has lived in Miami for 10 years, who worked all her life in a cafeteria in Cuba, and has asked to bring over her two children and a grandson, told <strong>OnCuba<\/strong>. She opened the process in Immigration and paid the fees, but she\u2019s still waiting for a response from the U.S. government since 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=518569675593288\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch Video Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immigration attorney Melissa Dom\u00ednguez comments on what happened in recent months regarding Cubans immigrants in the United States and with the Cuban Family Reunification Program. If you have questions about legal issues leave us a comment to answer them in future videos. #ConsultaLegal<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Posted by OnCuba on Thursday, October 3, 2019<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawyer Benavides believes that, in addition to the Trump administration\u2019s strengthening of the Cuba policy, there is also another factor that has stagnated this whole process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYou have to understand that the philosophy of this administration is contrary to immigration from Latin America. The Cubans are discovering this, it hurts them because they believe they have been a faithful Republican electorate, but that doesn\u2019t seem to matter to the administration. The Cubans were not the only nationality that saw the suspended reunification program, the same happened with the Filipinos, and over there there\u2019s no communism and they are Asian. Deep down the philosophy is total, they don&#8217;t want immigrants,\u201d he emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To this is added the fact that Cubans are being rejected at the border when requesting political asylum. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba-ee-uu\/mas-huelgas-de-hambre-de-cubanos-detenidos-por-inmigracion-en-estados-unidos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many are imprisoned<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the United States waiting for an immigration judge to decide their fate and are beginning to realize that they are losing the status of exceptionality they enjoyed for years, not only under Republicans but also under Democrats. After all, days before leaving the White House it was Barack Obama who ended the \u201cwet foot-dry foot\u201d policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a very unusual gesture, Cubans have staged two demonstrations against the Trump administration that have not received much media coverage because in South Florida it is difficult for the media to highlight this type of gestures. In addition, no so-called leader of the so-called \u201chardline exile\u201d has made a statement on this, everyone tends to \u201cget lost,\u201d to not answer the phone during those days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first protest was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba-ee-uu\/cubanos-en-miami-demandan-regreso-del-programa-de-parole\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in October last year. <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last one was this Sunday. Some 300 people concentrated in a Miami garden located at the intercession of Calle 8 and Avenida 13, in the heart of Little Havana, and which until now was the stage for only anti-Castro demonstrations. The monument dedicated to the 2506 brigade of the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in April 1961 is located there and has been a point of concentration of the hardline exiles for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a daughter and a granddaughter in Cuba. I want them here and this government won&#8217;t let me bring them. I voted for Trump, but never again, that man was here, he promised us all the help, but so far I haven\u2019t seen anything,\u201d shouts Graciela Montes de Oca, in the middle of the demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The protesters, mostly made up of women, were not only extremely critical of Trump but also of their own politicians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have reached a point where there are Cubans who love politicking more and don\u2019t care about the suffering of others. Nobody defends us, it seems we are outcasts,\u201d said Yolesis Gonz\u00e1lez, a 27-year-old woman, who intends to bring her mother from the province of Villa Clara where she lives alone after her husband\u2015Yolesis&#8217; father\u2015passed away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Monday, no Cuban-American politician, whether local, state or federal, wanted to make a statement on the popular rejection of the suspension of the Cuban family reunification program.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The feeling of rejection over the Trump administration\u2019s suspension of the family reunification program for Cubans has been increasing within the Cuban-American community, frustrated by broken promises.
