DAVID RIVERA: “I urge all of my colleagues to work with me to ensure the passage of the Judgment Evading Foreign States Accountability…”

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

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.

Well, of course that contact did not begin with this administration. We have always had travel, family unification and other types of licensed travel to Cuba, and it hasn't resulted in any democratic reforms.

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.
