people doing now, they cross that bridge, get to an immigration check point. that point they tell immigration officials that they're cuban, that they'r seeking political a see limb and that's when they get processed. that can take several hours. but waiting on the other side is this gentleman who says he's do you know and has been helping other cubans for quite sometime. >> 180 cuban migrants seen here wording a plain in costa rica and then hours later deboarding a plane in el salvador and now headed to the u.s. border. >> ruiz runs cubans in freedom. an organization that helps them once they arrive on the border. it was in 2014 when he started noticing an increasing amount of cuban migrants crossing. >> a lot of cubans every day. every day and i satisfy we need to help live here. >> cubans first arrived in this town on the mexican side by bus,

it is here at the laredo international bridge where cubans will realize this is the end of their journey. from this point on they're on american soil. >> they cross the border and they see the customs immigration and say, i'm do you c cuban i want asylum. >> sounds easy, but by this time, cubans are exhaust and had many have run out of money, usually extorted by corrupt mexic authorities. he says just six days ago six young cubans crossed and because they had no money they had to give up their cell phones. >> a lot of cubans are so worried about -- >> once they get through that, things get easier. they need 25 cents to get through this check point. people here call bridge number one. then again although u.s. customs they have to say they're cubans seeking political asylum.

work before finally walking out in laredo, texas, here in the states. word is that 180 of those cubans are now in the southern mexican border making their way up. now, this is just 180 out of 7800 total number of migrants which were in political limbo or migratory limbo. i should say the costa rica an government are going to do it twice a day to speed up the process. reporting live tonight on the u.s. mexican board, hatzel vela, local10 news. >> more to come thrghout the night. there are an untold number of children among those cubans headed to the u.s. and most will probably wind up right here in south florida. miami-dade schools are bracing for thousands of those children to show up to enroll. school board members talked about it today and they passed a resolution asking for washington forrinancial help. let's get to our senior reporter, michael chutney. laurie and calvin, miami-dade

the cuban migrant kids. the school board wants washington to pay their fair fare. >> they should not force a financial crunch on our school system. >> but the superintendent and school board say the financial crunch is already happening. children of migrants from central america, especially holiday season -- hondoras. plus kids of do you know refugees. the numbers are staggering. more than 15,000 foreigner born children enrolled in miami-dade schools last year. nearly 4,000 from cuba. total cost, $41 million. and now a new wave inhe pipeline from costa rica. >> we have to bee ready. we shouldn't have to be begging the federal government every time we ve this. >> the school board today wasn't exactly begging, but they sent a strong message that washington has to absorb some of the cost.

the state provides us of educativg a recently arrived child to be around $2,000,720. >> that is a cost absorbed by the local community with no subsidy from the federal government. >> miami-dade schools are getting strong support for federal aid from local members of congress. here's a letter from congressman that says the delegation is fully issue. coming. we don't know when they're comg. and we don't know who is coming. we don't know if they're families, if they have children, if they're singles, because we don't have any information from the federal government. >> and the federal government won't have this information until all these migrants are processed into the country. one bit of good news today, the president allocated an additional $70 million for refugee resettlement costs. we are in the video port this

michael putney, local10 news. >> all right, michael. thanks a lot. let's take you out to wall street. stocks took a dive in a big way. the dow was down 364 points. closing out at 16851. closing outt 4526 and the s&p 500 down 50 poin closing outs below the 2000 mark at 1890. >> 11 minutes after 5:00. let's get a check on the afternoon rush with local 10 traffic reporter genice. hi, genice. >> let's take you west as you're leaving miami beach. there's a broken down car right around watson island. speeds clock nothing at 23 miles per hour. i-95 northbound in the express lane, there is some police activity going on. this is at northwest 119th street and a left lane blocked with speeds at 19 miles per hour. we've been talking about this suspicious package around washington avenue and 13th street. police have set up a perimeter so

66 degrees as he blows his notices. sorry about that. here's the doppler radar. we are looking as i said some lighter rains moving in toward the lower keys so watching the skies there and then the radar is going to be a lot more active by tomorrow. that southwesterly flow, that is just not going anywhereny time soon. so it keeps us in the clouds and we get the occasional disturbances that roll through and it looks i guess like we've got one rippling through just in time for tonight into tomorrow. therefore thursday dreary and rainy and friday another system makes a run at us. and by 1:00 that one could send a gusty line of rain showers or storms across the area. so the weather will be changeable over the next 24 to 48 hours, but by friday night we should start to dry out and step into the weekend on a decent note. we'll start tomorrow morning around 60 degrees. highs climb toward 73, but clouds and rain in the area may make that

some spots. by friday still getting milder, even though we are introducing the chance for rainfall as mentioned, we dry out on saturday. high around 80 degrees. the next cold front approaches. that brings rain early sunday and then behind it, mlk day looking mainly dry and cool. so we do have more we restuff -- wintry stuff playingut across our region. >> clay, are you okay. >> it's okay. everyone has to blow their nose sometimes. >> there is a new place to play in south florida. the newly renovated casino is now entertaining high rollers. we're going to show you around the gaming floor at 6:00. >> we have annvestigation over feeding ducks. a broward man goes to court using a stand yr ground defense after he was charged with assault. find out what happened coming up at 5:00 30:00. >> i'm clay ferraro and guess what? we're going to be able to buy a lot of cold medicine coming up soon?

still the warriors fell short losing in their 25th game and remember that heat team went on to win a title as well. and our powerball number, 17, for the greatest accomplishment in south florida sports history, the 72 dolphins perfect 17-0 season. the fins are the only undefeated super bowl champs. the very definition of power. here's a look at t ticket. yes, this is the actual ticket that i have got in my hand. three, five, 12, 13, 27, and the powerball number right there, you see it, is 17. guys, we know we left out the marlins and there was a reason for that. if we do win the $1.5 billion minus taxes and all that we are seriously thinking of pooling the money together and buying the miami marlins. >> we want to be included, yes. >> i like that idea. >> i do too. >> maybe run a a little bit better. >> numbers with a purpose here. all right. good luck, clay.
