Immigration policy is a country’s regulation of the entry of foreigners into its territory. Throughout history, nations have dealt with immigration in different way and nations with larger emigration flows tend to maintain greater flexibility in their policies to ensure the repopulation of their communities.
Migration policies can generally be grouped in terms of their impact on the life of the country. Each country defines the possibility for foreigners to settle in its territory and the rights and obligations they assume.
Cuba is one of the countries with a flexible immigration policy that favors the temporary or permanent establishment of foreigners in Cuba, with guarantees of rights comparable to those of citizens by birth.
Historically, the United States has entered into agreements with countries in conflict or with people seeking asylum to help ensure their safety.
