Havana/In less than a week the call of a group of Cubans with form I-220a in Miami prospered: finance six “anti-communist fences” with the faces of several dictators-vivivas or dead-at key points of Hialeah. It is a replica to A similar postererected at the beginning of the month, which criticized the inaction of Cuban American republican politicians before the migratory persecution unleashed by Donald Trump.
“We have to be grateful,” says the fence, with obvious design similarities with the one paid by the Democratic Hispanic Caucus of Miami-Dade. On Red Fund, the portraits of Fidel and Raúl Castro, Miguel Díaz-Canel, Hugo Chávez, Daniel Ortega and Nicolás Maduro stand out. They are “the true traitors,” says the poster, “to freedom, to their people, to human rights.”
The reasons for the thanks are not indicated in the fences, whose placement cost $ 1,500. The I-220A form is precisely one of those that guarantees migrants the “freedom under word” to which Trump declared war since January 20 as one of the variants of the US border mismatch, which the Republican attributes to his predecessor, Joe Biden.

Trump’s immigration policy is, by force, that of its Secretary of State, the Cuban American Marco Rubio, protagonist of the Democratic fence with the congressmen María Elvira Salazar, Carlos Giménez and Mario Díaz-Balart. Despite his pronouncements in search of a more calm treatment for migrants, these politicians have been able to do little or nothing to make the president’s position more flexible.
A journalist from the Telemundo chain interviewed several of the migrants who organized the “War of Vallas” in Miami, and concluded that “what they want is that attention does not go to politicians but to the real problem: the TPS [Estatus de Protección Temporal] But also to them, the I-220A, who are in a migratory limbo. ”
One of the interviewees alleged, on the other hand, that Rubio, Salazar, Giménez and Díaz-Balart “fight day by day to free our countries, from which we have been fleeing because of the dictators.” Another was less enthusiastic – although not without caution – with the Republicans: “Right now many people do not feel identified with the work that is doing some other congressman or politician in this country.” However, he attributed his disagreement to “a conflict they have directly with them.”
If something was clear is that the group, despite its situation, continues to believe in Trump’s political project for the US.

“We leave you invitations to [la habitual manifestación del grupo de I-220A] On April 25 at 9:00 am at the Capitol ”of Washington, he added.
On April 8, when she goes against the congressmen and the Secretary of State appeared on the Miami Palmetto Highway, Salazar described her as “cheap Castro -style propaganda.” Democratic Hispanic Caucus accused them of having betrayed “immigrants, Miami-Dade, the American dream” and asked them to protect the TPS.
Meanwhile, Trump’s migratory measures continue to sow panic. An email received by a group of migrants who entered the US and was recorded in the CBP One application received, this week, a disconcerting mail. “Do not try to remain in the US” or “the federal government will find it” were some of the warnings of the message, which asked to abandon “the country immediately” and inform the authorities.
The measure especially affects Cubans, since migrants from other nationalities who used this application mostly opted for asylum or TPS, while the Cubans, with the intention of accepting the Cuban adjustment law, decided to wait a year and one day (period required before opting for this law), and did not ask for asylum. Now, Trump’s message fills them with stupor: “It’s time for you to leave the United States.”
