In light of the recent surge in Cuban immigrants trying to enter the U.S. borders in the midst of the news that U.S.-Cuban relations are on restoration, one man dies while on the Panama-Costa Rica border while waiting with hundreds of Cubans trying to reach the U.S.

Fox News Latino reports that the unnamed 53-year-old man died on Monday night from severe respiratory problems after being examined at a local hospital. The news comes after the ongoing increase in Cuban immigrants arriving at the Panama-Costa Rica border as they migrate to the U.S.

After the news of the death, authorities issued a plan to have a vaccine illness prevention campaign for the 1,000 Cubans stranded at the shelters in Panama. CNN reports that the outpour of Cuban immigrants were recently tracked at 8,000, per a latest estimate.

This is in light of the recent announcement of U.S. President Barack Obama that relations between the U.S. and the island nation are on the verge of rebuilding. Cuban immigrants took the opportunity to move to the U.S. as Obama already eased restrictions to Americans travelling to Cuba, the publication revealed.

Furthermore, some Cuban immigrants were forcing to go to the U.S. borders in hopes of getting their green cards while U.S-Cuban relations are good and before the possible drastic changes occur that could endanger their chances of migrating there.

"There is this concern that Cuba special privileges will be eliminated, so Cubans are trying to get out while the getting's good," Marc Rosenblum, deputy director of the U.S. immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute said as quoted by the news agency.

There are also great chances for Cuban Immigrants to be accepted, especially since after The Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 was enacted, Cubans were cleared of any problems in their entrance to the U.S. borders.

"Even if they arrive illegally, they are admitted into the United States, and after a year and a day they are granted a green card," Rosenblum further revealed. "They are the only country in the world that enjoys that privilege."

Meanwhile, as the surge of Cuban immigrants continue to increase by the day since they were reportedly promised by officials to be transported on flights this month and with their reported fears of the possible changes to the U.S-Cuba relations, the administration, however, revealed that there aren't any revisions to the current deal.

"The administration has no plans to alter current migration policy regarding Cuba," the statement from the administration reads.
