In a seemingly endless stream, more migrants have shown up on South Florida and the Florida Keys shores.

On Friday, US Border Patrol's Chief Patrol Agent Walter Slosar posted on Twitter that in the last 24 hours, there had been three landings in the Keys involving 50 Cuban migrants. Two of the landings happened on Long Key, the other occurred in the Marquesas Keys.

On Thursday, nearly 70 Haitian migrants arrived at Virginia Key. A group of about two dozen jumped from the boat and made it to shore while the others remained in the vessel and waited for the Coast Guard.
