38 Cuban immigrants were found adrift at sea. A United States coastguard saw all of them floating in a small raft. The waters have a dangerous reputation and 38 people floating in a raft is very life threatening. Over 3,000 Cubans have attempted to escape the country since October.
All of the 38 Cubans were fed and hydrated before they were returned back to Cuba. So many people attempt to travel from Cuba this way and it's extremely sad because most of them don't make it. They either starve, are killed by harsh weather, or drown. The people who do make it to America seek asylum and may become a resident after a year of staying.
