  • Anaivis Machado, a psychologist, and her 3-year old son Dario sit in the Plaza Benito Juarez in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on March 3, 2017. They left their home in Santa Clara, Cuba, bound for the United States, but are now waiting close to the U.S.-Mexico border, caught in limbo by the elimination in January of the infamous “wet foot, dry foot” policy of the United States. They are not allowed to enter the U.S. yet don't want to return to Cuba. Many of the city's churches have become temporary shelters for the immigrants, and congregations rotate responsibility for feeding the Cubans. Such solidarity from ordinary Mexicans is being tested these days, as not only are the Cubans stuck at the border, but the U.S. has stepped up deportations of Mexican nationals, while at the same time detaining many undocumented workers from other nations and simply dumping them on the US-Mexico border. Machado's husband is a member of the Methodist Church in Cuba.
