Mexico’s Attorney General, Eduardo Medina Mora, said on Tuesday that Mafia networks based in Miami, tied to drug trafficking, control the smuggling "of undocumented Cubans" that takes place from Mexican territory.
Mena noted that the United States incites the smuggling operations because of its policy to accept any Cuban citizen, regardless of the methods used to arrive to US territory.
"It’s judicially known that Cuban-born persons with US nationality are involved; financing these operations with the obvious complicity of Mexican nationals," said Mena in a press conference in Mexico.
The attorney general said the operation takes place from the Yucatan Peninsula. He underlined that the trafficking of Cubans to the United States, using Mexico, is encouraged by the Cuban Adjustment Act under which the US "takes in any Cuban citizen regardless of the methods used or their immigration status."
Thousands of Mexicans are deported from the United States annually or die on the border, victims of repressive actions.
The existence in the tourist center of Cancun of an important trafficking operation has been denounced on several occasions. The business is carried out by drug traffickers belonging to the Miami Cuban-American Mafia.
For several months a bloody war between Mafia groups from Miami, with ties to the rightwing Cuban American organizations, have become involved in the lucrative human smuggling operations in the entire region. |
