DAVID RIVERA: “I would refer to them... as really the butchers of Beijing.”

In 1966, the United States of America granted Cuban nationals one of the most benevolent immigration provisions ever granted to nationals of any country on the planet, what became known as the Cuban Adjustment Act.

I would strongly urge the Committee to maintain the focus on the purpose of my legislation to ensure that the spirit and letter of U.S. immigration law is enforced.

I urge all of my colleagues to work with me to ensure the passage of the Judgment Evading Foreign States Accountability Act.

But let me be clear, Mr. Chairman, in the final analysis my legislation is about protecting the rule of law here in the United States.
