Mexican Attorney General Eduardo Medina said on December 19 that mafioso networks in Miami linked to drug trafficking also control the trafficking of “undocumented Cubans” carried out from within Mexico with the complicity of criminals in that country.

Medina emphasized that the United States encourages the trafficking with its policy of welcoming any Cuban without consideration for the means used to arrive in U.S. territory.


It is legally documented that Cuban-born individuals with U.S. citizenship are involved, financing these operations with the evident complicity of Mexican nationals, Medina stated in a press conference for the foreign media in Mexico.

Operations are carried out in the Yucatan Peninsula, he said, emphasizing that the smuggling of Cubans into the United States via Mexico is encouraged by the U.S. law known as the Cuban Adjustment Act, under which the United States “takes in any Cuban citizen no matter the means or their migratory status.”

Meanwhile, thousands of Mexicans are deported from the United States every year or die on its borders, the victims of repressive actions.

In Cuba, it has been revealed a number of times how significant trafficking of people takes place in the Mexican resort of Cancun. It is a business run by drug traffickers affiliated with the Cuban-American mafia in Miami.

For months, a bloody war against gangs in Miami linked to the Cuban-American mafia has been taking place all over the region as they fight for control over the profitable business of trafficking in people.

Criminal organizations in Miami associated with cocaine trafficking in the Caribbean have taken over the million-dollar business created by the Adjustment Act, a murderous law that provokes extremely dangerous illegal departures from Cuba by citizens attracted by supposed privileges that are denied every year to hundreds of thousands of other potential immigrants from other countries.

At the same time, Medina explained that some $10 billion in cash is transferred from the United States to Mexico every year in drug trafficking money.

The Attorney General revealed that the vast majority of some 8,000 weapons seized in Mexico are from the United States, “where there are almost 100,000 weapons dealers, of which 12,000 are along the Mexican border.”

Despite the deployment of police in various U.S. states, the Mexican government believes that in 2007, at least 2,500 murders were documented, most of them attributed to drug trafficking.
