Central American youths caught long before they reach the U.S. border: Many Central American youths are willing to risk their lives to cross the border into Mexico, in order to eventually reach the United States border.

Cuban Immigration to the United States: The main reason why Cubans came to the United States is in search of a better life.

Cultural Bereavement: Migrating from one’s home country can pose multiple stresses to an individual. Mental health experts have coined a term known as “cultural bereavement” which can occur when an individual immigrates to another country and leaves many things of value behind - from family and friends to culture and language.

History of Cuban Immigration to the United States: Cubans had been entering the United States on a continuous basis after Fidel Castro took over, but it was not until the summer of 1994 that the U.S. experienced a huge wave of immigrants from Cuba.

Where are the immigrants coming from?: Immigrants from around the world come to the United States to improve their lives. Generally, immigrants come from Asia, Mexico, South America, and Latin America.

Wet-Foot - Dry-Foot Policy: Under the current "Wet-Foot - Dry-Foot" policy, Cubans who reach U.S. soil are allowed to remain in the United States. Those intercepted at sea are sent back to Cuba.

Illegal immigrants from India Increasing at a High Rate: Due to the numerous amount of skilled workers in India’s workforce, it is no surprise that they are being issued a high number of temporary work visas to gain employment in the United States. During the 2005 fiscal year, Indians were granted nearly 195,000 work visas that allowed them to come to the United States.

NACARA: Once an individual is granted relief under NACARA they are also granted lawful permanent resident status. Today NACARA Section 203 is still in effect but is only open to certain applicants. Eligible participants must fall into one of five categories and have no prior felony convictions.
