Miami is bracing itself for an influx of Cuban migrants who are set to enter the city by the thousands. The mayor of the city is already expressing concerns that they are not ready for the estimated thousands of Cuban migrants who have been stranded in Costa Rica.

In a report with NBC News, Mayor Tomas Regalado said that organizations that have been tasked to assist the Cuban migrants have not received any guidance from the government concerning the issue on mass migration.

According to a report with the news agency, there is an estimated 8,000 Cubans that remain stranded in the Costa Rican border. Central American leaders agreed on a pilot program that would arrange for the migrants to be airlifted from Costa Rica to El Salvador. The migrants will then take the bus to Mexico and the United States.

Foreign Minister Manuel Gonzalez said that plan had been delayed because of some problems in logistics. In a report with Yahoo, Gonzalez emphasized that the number of Cubans and the estimated date of departure was still tentative.

Gonzalez said that the flight would depend on being able to find a large enough aircraft to airlift the group. This alone, he said, was already a challenge, given the high tourism season in Central America.

On the other hand, Mayor Regalado believes that many in the group already have their eyes set on Miami as a final destination. He added that immigration should be a federal matter and that the city does not have the resources to offer housing to the potentially thousands of migrants coming their way.

Gonzalez added that high priority is given to migrants with small children. The foreign minister also said that the migrants are required to pay for the flight and buses themselves. On top of this, they are also required to pay Costa Rica's $29 exit tax, El Salvador's $60 entry visa and $10 to enter Guatemala. This is already a big sum for Cubans, as many of its citizens earn an average monthly state salary of $20.

The U.S. Department of State said in an official statement that it has no plans to change the current migration policy with regards to Cuba.

"We refer you to the involved host governments for details of the agreement." the statement said.

Many of the Cuban migrants, who have made the long travel from Ecuador, are risking it all for the so-called American Dream. The US has a policy that dates back to the Cold War to accept any Cuban who enters the country.
