A Deadly Turf War Over Cuban Illegals

Others have been less fortunate. Since June, at least four Cuban-Americans, including Reyna’s brother Maximiliano, have been shot dead on Cancun’s glitzy boulevards in gangland-style hits. Mexican officials allege that these killings, and those of at least five Mexicans, stem from what they say is a turf war over lucrative human smuggling routes of Cubans via Mexico to the United States.

The blood being spilled in broad daylight in Mexico’s most popular international tourist spot has raised the pressure on a police force already struggling against heavily armed drug cartels.

Senior Mexican officials blame the violence on Washington’s “Wet Feet, Dry Feet” policy, in which Cubans caught at sea trying to enter the U.S. are turned back but those apprehended on U.S. soil after entering the country illegally are allowed to apply for asylum.”*
