Despite campaign promises on Cuba, President Biden has not opened paths on the remittances and travel some say would most help islanders.

As more Cubans arrive at the border, President Trump is pushing them back to Mexico and deporting them to Cuba despite railing against the government there.

“There is no direct way to do it, and the process is intricate, expensive and cumbersome,” said María Isabel Alfonso, a Cuban American who teaches Cuban culture at St. Joseph’s College in New York. She works with a group that advocates engagement with Cuba but does not support the government.

One area in which the administration appears likely to move more quickly is repopulating the U.S. Embassy in Havana. The administration is also insisting on uncensored access to the internet for Cuban citizens, who report frequent cuts in service that many think is aimed at silencing dissidents. The Cuban government blames a weak system and electrical outages.

Last week, Price confirmed that the recommendations on remittances had been sent to the White House “some number of weeks ago” but offered no timeline for when action might be taken. “It is an issue that is not uncomplicated,” he said.

Trump switches Arizona audit focus to Pima County, demands loss to Biden be decertifiedPima County's administrator explained that the election results were already 'publicly audited via hand count by the County's Republican and Democratic parties.' The Big Lie & The Big Ego with the aim of destroying democracy in America Did he ever stop to think that he lost Arizona when he insulted John McCain, AFTER McCain had passed on? He’s just a lunatic. Arizona does a great job with their elections. We’ve had mail in voting forever that especially benefits our senior population. Trump lost because we didn’t want a lunatic for president any more. Period.

Dems to Biden: Don't leave people of color behind in Build Back Better negotiationsAs Democrats start to cut priorities from their social spending package, President Joe Biden is under pressure not to leave people of color out So they want make sure that Black People are taxed for driving per-mile? ...and to trigger red-flags with the IRS when they conduct a bank transaction for more than $600? I doubt they have anything to worry about there.... Clyburn assured his abandonment when he sold out Bernie to Obama. How's that victory tasting now? This 'plan' has very little to do with infrastructure and is more of a hidden amnesty for illegals where the Democrats are lying once again to the public about what they are up to. They have been using and playing Black America for decades. And now they are using them again.
