Again, Cuba has a whole bunch of American fugitives hiding from justice. Terrorists, hijackers and radicals. So why the fixation with Chesimard when she's just one of dozens?
Because she is the most high profile one and its a PR slap in the face to ignore it, not to mention you have to start somewhere and it sends a message. Why do YOU want a cop killer to be allowed to roam free?
Cuba is an oppressive, Communist HELL HOLE. The Castros were/are horrible murdering THUGS. Why would anyone want to go there? They were a Soviet stronghold that welcomed nuclear missiles pointed at us. What is the fascination with Cuba, and Venezuela by the LEFT? Oh, yeah. Ignorant. I get it. Never mind.
Have you been there to make such bold statements ? I have. The people of Cuba are wonderful, interesting, and are the reason people go there, not to visit the Castros. It is stupid to not allow American citizens to go anywhere they choose. I was planning to sail there again later in the year, but Trump killed those plans. He did that simply to get back at Obama, no other logical reason.
So, unless you have been somewhere, you can not judge a country from travel brochures or what you hear from Trump.

Cuba's doing nothing we haven't done by protecting terrorists like Orlando Bosch.

So that includes North Korea and Syria? I think there is plenty of good reason to disallow travel to certain countries for American citizens, unless of course they want to go and be on their own and not allowed back.
As someone who leans libertarian, I'm all for open relations with all countries, but on the other hand I'm strongly opposed to opening up relations with a country that knowingly harbors a fugitive cop killer like Joanne Chesimard. Unacceptable. Turn her over and then we can discuss open borders, free trade, and good relations.
but tell me about all the other scumbags in other countries we do deal with? in this case change policy across the board- if not bogus claim
..... the last thing this idiot should have been worrying about is Americans traveling to a small island 90 miles off of our coast.
Thought so.
Then why is it a big deal for you if it shouldn't be a big deal for Trump?
Of course the last sentence gives it away.
