The "wet foot, dry foot" Immigration policy has to do with Cuban immigration to the United States.

It is a simplified summary of the laws that dictate what happens when Cuban immigrants are intercepted.

If they are caught while still out to sea (wet foot), they are usually returned to Cuba. If they are caught after making it to shore (dry foot), they are usually allowed to stay.
