We all want to see these problems resolved and peace achieved.

Lest we forget, I think it is important for the American people to remember what led in part the U.S. embargo against Cuba.

Thousands of Americans and Cuban citizens suffered humiliation and financial distresses of having their private property stolen from them, some of them at gunpoint.

I believe that in the Obama administration's zeal to engage the Castro regime at any cost, we have lost sight of a critical issue that has not received the priority that it deserves.

Which doesn't seem willing at this point in time to make any concessions.

We look to you as our Representatives to champion--not just a new chapter in the political playbook--but to work side by side and as innovators in advocating justice.

One of the fundamental principles of a free society and free economy is private property ownership.

I think would be unconscionable and something so unfair as we know it as Americans is to deprive people of their rightful property.

the very first step in making what past wrongs there were right would be to make sure that our constituents in the State of Florida and across this country are made whole again by that which was taken from them, their property in Cuba.

I think the Congressmen and women that I talk to believe that we ought to keep the embargo in place until some of this is addressed.

I stand passionately with for you for your property rights.

They are just saying: Okay, we will open up our relations.

I believe that the Castro brothers are making immense demands on the United States for this normalization.

the difference is, is that they are our constituents, and we owe it to them to enforce the law, to follow the law, and to live the American spirit, which is property rights.

the policy is really a lifeline to the Castro regime and to the brothers and to the military.

The Cubans aren't doing anything.

I think there's a lot of unanswered questions. But don't let that concern give you any doubt about my commitment to try to make this work for a no-fly zone, because I do see how it would help the Syrian people.

Would you agree with me that Russia would probably, being the benefactor of Assad, probably veto any Security Council resolution for a no-fly zone?

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a billion words, in my opinion.

There's no doubt in my mind about who's responsible, but we also have ISIS, and we have a lot of other factions that are in-fighting, but also fighting Assad, so the dynamics are completely different.
