Cuban-Americans reject bid to restrict travel and remittances to Cuba

Cuban-Americans living in the United States and organizations favouring the improvement of relations between the two countries have urged the US Congress to reject a bid to restrict travel and remittances to Cuba.

Should the rider attached by congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R.FL.) to the spending bill — currently under discussion on Capitol Hill — be approved, travel and remittances to Cuba by Cuban-Americans would be returned to the level set by former president George W. Bush in 2008, when only one trip was allowed every three years for “family reunifications.”

    The United States Government is the Biggest and most dangerouse Terrorist in the world. It is also the biggest dictator in the world. Not only are they a dictator to Americans within America, they are dictating to other countries how the should govern their land. Look around every country that has accepted the American system of ddeomocracy, their society have become a sespit where moraltiy has vanished. Compare the Cuban society to the American one, which of these two societies are the safest. You only have to look into the Dominican society over the last 15-20 years how the American culture is destroying that society. America is also the bisggest human rights abuser in the world much more than China and all the despot they helped into power put together.

    US is so hypocritical. They talk about tyranny in other countries and in cuba but in this same cuba they have guantanomo where they hold random so called people against their will without a trial and abuse and torture these people everyday. World leaders just prefer to allow this atroscity to continue whilst kissing the US broke behind. Infact Obama gonna sign a bill to send eve more people there instead this time it would be radical american citizens. Thats funny because I thought everyone had to get a trial before being imprisoned? So much for the fair, equal and justice for everyone…hmmmm smh
