Guantanamo base to be US immigration welcome center

US officials, worried a flood of US-bound Cubans could follow the death of Cuban leader Fidel Castro, plan to build an immigrant reception center at a US base in Guantanamo, Cuba, the Pentagon announced.

The base now housing war-on-terror suspects will be readied for a wave of US-bound migrants, the Pentagon said in a statement.

The US Navy base was made famous by international human rights groups and foreign governments claiming prisoners in US custody have been abused, denied access to attorneys and held for years without being charged.

Islands Mechanical Contractors of Jacksonville, Florida won a 16.5 million-dollar contract to build wastewater treatment facilities, showers, latrines, laundry, utilities, office, fencing and warehouses by May 2008.
