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?
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.
