At this point. only United States Government officials and journalists are allowed to travel to Cuba without having to obtain a license. and only a handful of Cubans are allowed to travel to the United States. I would ask my colleagues. do we not have enough faith in the power of our system to let contact between our citizens flourish? Current policy not only denies the United States the opportunity to promote positive change in Cuba. but it increases the likelihood of widespread political violence and another mass exodus of refugees to Florida. The Cuban Government. which is successfully expanding political and economic ties with the rest of the world. is unlikely to give in to United States demands. If economic pressure succeeds in encouraging the people to take to the streets. the most likely consequence would be bloodshed.
