It is taking place in another hemisphere. in the Western Hemispher3. specifically in the oppressed island of Cuba. That is the only extraterritorial conduct at issue in this debate. the unjustifiable conduct they are trying to defend. What our law does. what our law says in its immigration chapter. is that if you are a foreigner who knowingly traffics. deals in property stolen from an American citizen. and after having the opportunity to divest from that stolen property you fail to do so. in other words. you knowingly and purposefully. and after having the opportunity to divest do not do so. continue to deal in stolen property from American citizens. that then under our immigration laws you are excluded from the United States. We have said we do not want people to be admitted to the United States who knowingly deal in stolen property from American citizens. So we had to explain that to Europeans. and we were. as I say. shocked at the amount of ignorance they manifested in meeting after meeting.
