Sumario:The aim of this article is to analyze the articulation between the process of sanitation and the implementation of the immigration policy during the establishment of the Cuban nation-state between 1899 and 1930, taking into account the previous experience of the development of a certain colonial sanitary policy in the last quarter of the 19th century and the intervention of the United States of America (USA). By means of a historical-interpretative reconstruction from bibliographic and documentary funds, the elaboration and implementation of sanitation and immigration control policies will be examined through the analysis of those practices and legal and institutional devices that were part of those policies, such as the discourses of scientific associationism, the legal actions and sanitation campaigns (yellow fever), the organization of the sanitary system, the immigration laws and the Immigration and Quarantine Camps or Stations: Triscornia and Cayo Duán.
