DAVID RIVERA: “Hugo Chavez who does terrible things to his own people. He is a cancer. He is a cancer on the people of Venezuela.”

My legislation simply says that any Cuban national who receives political asylum and residency under the Cuban Adjustment Act and travels to Cuba while still a resident will have their residency status revoked.

That is their modus operandi is to provide propaganda, false information, false documentation.

The result of that policy, which I often refer to as unilateral concessions to the dictatorship, have been well documented.

I think the President was signaling to our allies like Poland, a great ally, that we are willing to throw them under a bus.
