Left-wing journalists are ruling-class visitors there. Why wouldn’t he want to protect that?

Time for the Mafia to move back in.

He shouldn’t fret. Cuban housewives will continue to whore themselves out for a long time to come. The nice thing is that they only charge $20-$30 dollars.
Prevents head there from around the world to take advantage of their poverty.

Ordinary tourist still will not be allowed to go. They must be journalists or some kind of educational group...so libs will have a monopoly on visa’s for Cuban travel.

I'd like the Cuban people to climb out of crippling poverty & improve their lives.
At the same time, I am also glad I visited before there is a Hard Rock Cafe-Havana & Applebee's everywhere.

Yup. Wish i could visit there and take advantage of ultra cheap prices while giving the regime hard currency and exploiting folks who make 25 cents an hour

And the coral reefs around Cuba are so pristine and untouched by dirty capitalism. Never mind the run off from 1950s style tobacco and sugar cane farming.

Cuba's been open to American tourists since forever. All you have to do is fly from Canada......

First thing is that classic car collectors are going to flood the island and make a lot of Cubans very rich.

Not actually legal. Technically I think you can go to Cuba, but it's illegal for you to spend any money there. Supposedly US intel hangs out at Canadian airports photographing passengers boarding Cuba-bound flights to see what Americans are breaking the law.
