This is what I have heard also.  Cubans now don't compare to 50 years ago.

The Left sure does love political violence and cop-killers. Here Reid is upset that he failed to refer to a convicted terrorist, Joanne Chesimard, by one of her several aliases when demanding her return to the US.  I guess that is "racist" now? She needs to be hammered on this.

They already know what the rest of the world has access to because Cuba has trade and relations with the whole rest of the world.

We have to deal with places like Red China and Saudi Arabia because of their markets. It's Cuba's bad luck that they don't really have anything we need badly enough to deal with the Devil. We're under no obligation to open the US to Havana unless Havana does what we want, namely stop political repression of the Cuban people and turn over cop killers that fled to Cuba. If Havana can't or won't do that, then sucks for the common Cuban, but they can always trade with the UK, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, China, France Spain, India, Australia, South Africa, SA, and a bunch of other countries.

Did anyone notice that after the President signed the Presidential order that all of a sudden he was surrounded by security on stage with their backs to the crowed and a few of them looking at something in the direction of the crowed. these guys were acting very nervous. They were trying to get the President to get off the stage and stop shaking hands.

So what do we think we're risking if we're open to business and travel with Cuba even if they are not open to us?

Does anyone realistically think that a GM plant would shut down here to move to Cuba?  I'm a little confused about what huge advantage there is to this.

If it's to get a fugitive, certainly there are other means.

I think that there are significant restictions on funding things in cuba, where a bunch of people were planning big resorts in partnership with the castro regime, and were complaining in the media yesterday that their deals might be in danger, and how such a loss of opportunites for the cuban people was going to hurt them, blah blah blah usual sympathy stuff.

some of the changes that will occur are in here


  Summary of Key Policy Changes:
  •      The new policy channels economic activities away from the Cuban
    military monopoly, Grupo de Administración Empresarial (GAESA),
    including most travel-related transactions, while allowing American
    individuals and entities to develop economic ties to the private, small
    business sector in Cuba. The new policy makes clear that the primary
    obstacle to the Cuban people’s prosperity and economic freedom is the
    Cuban military’s practice of controlling virtually every profitable
    sector of the economy. President Trump’s policy changes will encourage
    American commerce with free Cuban businesses and pressure the Cuban
    government to allow the Cuban people to expand the private sector.
  •      The policy enhances travel restrictions to better enforce the
    statutory ban on United States tourism to Cuba.  Among other changes,
    travel for non-academic educational purposes will be limited to group
    travel.  The self-directed, individual travel permitted by the Obama
    administration will be prohibited.  Cuban-Americans will be able to
    continue to visit their family in Cuba and send them remittances.
  •      The policy reaffirms the United States statutory embargo of Cuba and
    opposes calls in the United Nations and other international forums for
    its termination. The policy also mandates regular reporting on Cuba’s
    progress—if any—toward greater political and economic freedom.
  •      The policy clarifies that any further improvements in the United
    States-Cuba relationship will depend entirely on the Cuban government’s
    willingness to improve the lives of the Cuban people, including through
    promoting the rule of law, respecting human rights, and taking concrete
    steps to foster political and economic freedoms.
  •      The policy memorandum directs the Treasury and Commerce Departments to
    begin the process of issuing new regulations within 30 days.  The
    policy changes will not take effect until those Departments have
    finalized their new regulations, a process that may take several months.
     The Treasury Department has issued Q&As that provide additional
    detail on the impact of the policy changes on American travelers and
    businesses.

Incorrect.  I voice my opinion when I disagree with the hive in the hopes I might learn something, which has happened a lot on here.  But in this case I'm having a hard time understanding the opposing viewpoint and I'm openly asking questions.

I don't waste my or other peoples' time by saying "+1" all day.  In a thread where everyone's bashing Hillary, I nod and move on.  Same with a thread about a positive Trump thing I like.

I would think you'd know this, in the Scalise shooting thread you tried to label me in exactly the same way incorrectly.

So, is this Joy Reid a Cuban exile or a Cuban American? The majority of the Cuban exiles and Cuban Americans don't support the Castro communist dictatorship. The rage against the Obama deal is that the so-called American economical benefits only enrich the communist government, not the Cuban citizen. Sounds like Joy Reid is just another domestic communist that hates the United States and the US constitution and supports the suppression of freedom everywhere. Why should anyone care what Joy Reid has to say?

That's what almost all of our foreign aid is.  We take money from poor people and unborn people in this country and give it to the rich people in other countries.

Which is awfully interesting, isn't it?  Why do Liberals believe in trickle down economics when it comes to foreign aid?

He doesn't give a flip about the Cuban people. He just wants to be able to go to Cuba on cheap vacations where all his money spent including tips goes directly to the communist dictatorship of the Cuban government with maybe 10% going to the Cuban servants that will be cleaning his room, making up his bed, and cooking his meals on his cheap vacation. He's too stupid to realize that allowing full American trade with Cuba will only enrich the corrupt Cuban government entity Gaesa that controls and will get 99% of any of these profits, not the Cuban worker.
