Self-hating Characteristics : Meanwhile Cuban-born Marco Rubio supports amnesty for illegal immigrants from Central American countries run by tyranical and corrupt governments who've deliberately contributed to the causes for mass exodus of their citizens.
WASHINGTON – Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, one of the U.S. lawmakers most hostile toward the Cuban government, said on Thursday that the announced economic aid from Washington to Havana will only serve to enrich “a tyrant and his regime” as well as to finance the repression of the Cuban people.
“This is a windfall for the Castro regime that will be used to fund its repression against Cubans, as well as its activities against U.S. national interests in Latin America and beyond,” said the Cuban-American senator in a communique after the announcement of easing the restrictions was made public.
Rubio, a possible presidential candidate in 2016, said that, taking into account U.S. law and Washington’s current policy toward Cuba, this series of regulations results in at least one “major question” about U.S. President Barack Obama’s legal authority to take these measures.
“Yesterday I requested answers from Secretary Lew on how this new Cuba policy would be implemented without violating the letter and spirit of several U.S. laws, and without increasing the moral and financial risk to the American taxpayer and financial system of doing business through Cuba’s government-controlled financial system,” he added.
The U.S. Treasury on Thursday announced amendments to the program of sanctions against Cuba whereby the restrictions on trade with and travel to the communist island will be eased, as promised by Obama on Dec. 17.
The Commerce Department and the Treasury announced the changes to the Cuban Assets Control Regulations and Export Administration Regulations, which will go into effect on Friday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a communique that the changes “will immediately enable the American people to provide more resources to empower the Cuban population to become less dependent upon the state-driven economy, and help facilitate our growing relationship with the Cuban people.”
The agreement was the result of 18 months of secret negotiations between the U.S. government and Cuba, talks that were facilitated and mediated by Pope Francis and Canada.
