CUBA....the country that suppresses human rights...
"The Cuban government continues to repress dissent and discourage public criticism. While in recent years it has relied less on long-term prison sentences to punish its critics, short-term arbitrary arrests of human rights defenders, independent journalists, and other critics have increased dramatically. Other repressive tactics employed by the government include beatings, public acts of shaming, and the termination of employment.

And now, they use our welfare...
"Cuban immigrants are cashing in on U.S. welfare and returning to the island, making a mockery of the decades-old premise that they are refugees fleeing persecution at home.
Some stay for months at a time — and the U.S. government keeps paying.
Cubans’ unique access to food stamps, disability money and other welfare is meant to help them build new lives in America. Yet these days, it’s helping some finance their lives on the communist island.
America’s open-ended generosity has grown into an entitlement that exceeds $680 million a year and is exploited with ease. No agency tracks the scope of the abuse, but a Sun Sentinel investigation found evidence suggesting it is widespread.

Meanwhile, I suppose this study to allow them aid will continue....
"Cuba joins Iran, Sudan and Syria on the U.S. Department of State’s list of states that sponsor terrorism, and until it is removed from that list, the trade embargo cannot be lifted. Obama has asked Secretary of State John Kerry to conduct a study on that possibility for review this week. In addition, Wednesday’s announcement was made solely under an executive order, and the Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control is expected to craft it into regulation this week.
