Mexico Releases Cubans on Way to US Border: HOUSTON, Texas -- On Tuesday Mexico released 14 Cubans who were rescued at sea. A number of the migrants were reportedly en route the to U.S., as there are policies in place to allow Cubans who arrive on land to stay in the country.
The group of Cubans left their home country on August 7, according to The Guardian. Their boat's motor reportedly failed early on in their journey, so they built a makeshift sail.
The group eventually got lost, and became adrift at sea. The trip got so rough after a certain point, that the Cubans became starving and dehydrated -- 15 people on the boat died. Several individuals additionally died from the hardships after being rescued by Mexico's navy.
