Doesn't this grimey crew understand that when we get an ELECTED President in there, he will OVERTURN these stupid, heavy-handed, third-reich measures?

From the statement you posted from the Department of H.S.:
Homeland Security officers assigned to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will increase inspection of all persons traveling directly to Cuba and arriving back directly from Cuba.

I know we look stupid on the Cuba issue right now, but you can't forget it was former President Jimmy Carter who, in one case, suspended the travel ban, and Bill Clinton in the second case, who started easing it again.

It was Eisenhower, Reagan, and George W. Bush who sought to nail the door shut to Cuba for American citizens, while holding it wide open for Cuban "exiles," the very people who have claimed to "escape," to "flee," to return without ANY actual restraints from the U.S. Government whatsoever. (They have been said to be limited to one visit per year, but people I have heard from Miami have said it has NEVER been enforced.)

PATHETIC.

D.U.'ers can help the process by calling their Senators and letting them know what they think. There are Repubicans on the Bipartisan Senate Cuba Working Group, so if your Senator is Republican, he'll be aware that a lot of Republicans already favor ending both the travel ban and the embargo for various reasons!
