Resolution
LIFT ALL TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
TO CUBA
Whereas, the United States has
had a policy for 48 years of trying to remove
Fidel Castro, which, by many standards, has
failed; and
Whereas,
as a result of that policy, no
one has sacrificed more than the Cuban people
and the Cuban-American individuals whose rights
have been violated by being the denied the right
to travel to Cuba; and
Whereas,
after much discussion with many
Cuban-Americans and Americans, we are no closer
to removing Castro now than we were in 1959;
and
Whereas,
the current U.S. policy of
restricting travel to Cuba by family members to
only once every 3 years inflicts great suffering
on all family members, both in Cuba and in the
United States;
Therefore
be it resolved that LULAC calls
for the lifting of all restrictions which limit
individuals from traveling to the island to
visit their family members, so that they may
travel at will.
Adopted this 1st day of July
2006.
