2. Why didn't they apply for some of the 20,000 legal US immigration visas?

The US offers over 20,000 immigration visas to Cubans every year, more than any other nation. Not all are applied for every year.

Do you even care why they might have come here via exploiting the Wet Foot/Dry Foot policy?
