Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
MIAMI, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- The United States has accused Cuba of refusing to comply with the 1995 migration accords designed to prevent another exodus to Florida.
The charge comes at a time when interceptions of Cuban migrants have doubled. The State Department says Cuba refuses to engage in dialogue over the migration accords and is using them "for political gain."
Cuba doesn't try to stop migrants on vessels while they are still in Cuban territorial waters, the Miami Herald said, quoting a recent State Department report. And, the Castro regime reportedly refuses to issue exit permits to many people who receive U.S. travel documents allowed by the accords.
More than 500 potential migrants awarded one of the 20,000 entry visas the U.S. grants each year haven't been allowed out. Among them: 171 doctors.
Cuban officials have accused Washington of dragging its feet on visas, trying to deliberately spark an exodus in an effort to topple the Castro government.
