For Cuban migrants, getting to Miami is just the first step. Then they face the hurdles of rising rent and finding work in a city already saturated with new arrivals from Cuba and other countries.

An immigrant mother from Cuba and her sons after crossing the border from Mexico, as they await processing by the U.S. Border Patrol, in Yuma, Ariz., on May 19.MIAMI, Fla. — Over the past several months, Máximo A. has been working the phones and talking to people he knows to help seven relatives who recently came from Cuba find work in a new city and country.

Máximo’s relatives are part of an exodus of over 220,000 Cubans who have come through the U.S.-Mexico border in the last fiscal year. Many are fleeing shortages in food, medicine and power, as well as fears of being arrested for speaking out against the government. People in a makeshift boat with the U.S. flag painted on the side are captured by the Cuban Coast Guard near the Malecon seawall in Havana, Cuba, on Monday.Almost 29,000 Cubans were apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border in October, the last month figures are available for. And since October 2,982 Cubans were interdicted at sea.

Recent migrants have been staying with relatives until they’re able to find work and a room or efficiency to rent. “I didn’t think it would be so difficult,” said Domingo. “But I would rather sleep on the street than return to Cuba.”Unlike other immigrants, most Cubans have had a relatively easy path to U.S. residency through the Cuban Adjustment Act , the 1962 law that allowed most Cubans admitted and given immigration parole to apply for residency after a year and a day in the U.S.

“The most frustrating thing is that many of these migrants are released into the country with some sort of document pending immigration court proceedings. In the meantime they are not eligible for employment authorization documents,” said Leal. “Furthermore, their immigration court proceedings sometimes never commence or are scheduled for 2024 or 2025.”
