Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: “These countries can't grow their economies. They can't build wealth.”

As a person who lost her native homeland, Cuba, to communism, where we don't have elections, I always say that it is wonderful to get interrupted by elections and by votes.

I add my support for all the measures before us today.

We had Joe Crowley and Steve Chabot, who's a wonderful member of our committee, pass an important bill condemning the ethnic cleansing going on.
