It seems illogical that while other nations are taking advantage of this lucrative trading opportunity. the administration is denying us access to this opportunity. This bill is about Americas right to prosper by participating and competing in international trade. This legislation provides for the lift of the travel ban and also for the expedited issuance of U.S. visas for Cubans involved in agricultural purchases. As Americans. we pride ourselves on how our liberties are protected and respected by our government. However. banning American citizens to travel to Cuba is a blatant infringement on our democratic freedom to travel without restrictions.
