FILE --In this Aug. 26, 1994 file photo, Cuban refugees float in heavy seas 60 miles south of Key West, Fla. In the 20 years since Fidel Castro set off a high-seas humanitarian crisis by encouraging an exodus of 35,000 islanders, more than 26,000 other Cubans have risked their lives crossing the Florida Straits. Already this year, nearly 3,000 have been picked up by U.S. authorities, on a pace to double last year’s total. Experts say it shows the limits of the “wet-foot, dry-foot” policy that solved the 1994 crisis. (AP Photo/Dave Martin, File)
