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