The Biden White House and Cuban officials kicked off talks to curb illegal migration co*ing from the Caribbean country. On Thursday, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the US is hoping to continue almost 30-years of dialogue with Cuba.




From October through March, Cubans were stopped at the US southern border 79,800 times, which is more than double all of 2021 and five times more than 2020. Price said it’s time for migrants headed to the US to do so through legal and safe means.


“It is safe to say that we would like to see a process that is safe, orderly and legal,” stated the US official. “And not one that is dominated by irregular migrants seeking to make a dangerous either overland journey or maritime journey to the United States.”




Thursday’s meeting followed similar talks in Panama aimed at stemming the flow of migrants from Central America.
