DAVID RIVERA: “Can you cite any concession for democratic reform that has ever been made by the Castro dictatorship?”

In sum, Mr. Chairman, it is imperative that Congress do everything in its power to enforce U.S. immigration law.

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.

Can you cite any progress in democratic reforms on the island that have resulted from that policy?

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