DAVID RIVERA: “In light of the situation with Alan Gross, U.S. citizen, which I believe is being held hostage by the Castro…”

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.

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

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.
