DAVID RIVERA: “I am deeply concerned with our current administration's policy and attitude toward Latin America over the past few…”

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

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.

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.

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.
