That under no circumstances will the United States provide credibility, legitimacy, credence, to a supposedly democratic process when such an anti-democratic regime like the Castro dictatorship would be participating.
Rivera emphasizes the need for the U.S. to reject Cuba's participation in the Summit if no democratic changes occur.

In 1966, the United States of America granted Cuban nationals one of the most benevolent immigration provisions ever granted to nationals of any country on the planet, what became known as the Cuban Adjustment Act.
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.
That is their modus operandi is to provide propaganda, false information, false documentation.
