Weegy: Before 1985, there was no limit on how many Cubans could enter the U.S. if they followed normal immigration procedures. This was also true for other groups of immigrants as well. [ Unlike immigrants from other countries, Cubans were granted a special status which made it easier to gain residency. Other immigrants had to prove that they were fleeing for political reasons so that they could be granted the status of a refugee. On the other hand, upon entry onto United States soil, Cubans were automatically given refugee status along with other privileges. Some of these special privileges were introduced in 1966 and included gaining permanent residency status if the Cuban immigrant had resided in the U.S. for at least one year. For Cuban immigrants that had stayed longer than the time period granted on their visitor visas, they were still granted permanent residency. Cubans had been entering the United States on a continuous basis after Fidel Castro took over, but it was not until the summer of 1994 that the U.S. experienced a huge wave of immigrants from Cuba. Approximately 33,000 Cubans fled to the U.S. due to trade relations with the Soviet Union. Because Cuba was dependent upon the Soviet Union for trade, the country was put into a dismal economic situation when trade between the two countries was suspended. As a result, the government instilled a rationing system to deal with food, electricity, and gasoline shortages. The discontent continued to grow among many Cubans who desired economic and political freedom; thus, many Cubans desired to flee their homeland. Due to the large wave of Cubans entering the country, the United States made an agreement in September 1994 that would limit the number of incoming Cubans to 20,000 annually. Out of 33,000 Cubans, nearly 31,000 were detained at Guantanamo Bay. In May 1995, the U.S. Attorney General announced that the Cubans in Guantanamo would be permitted to enter the United States if they had no criminal history. ... (More)
