Editorial: A Critical Look at the Cuba Crackdown

By Victoria Hallett, Editorial Assistant

They tan on Cuba's silky beaches and sip mochitos. After long nights of jubilant dancing, they return to cozy casa particulares, where they rest up for another day of adventure on this island of bustling villages and extraordinary historical sights. But these are not mere tourists. According to the U.S. government, they're criminals.

For four decades, the U.S. has heavily restricted American travel to Cuba. Cuban-Americans can make the trip once every year, but others may only go on a journalist visa or as part of a government-approved delegation. In recent years, more determined types have managed to bypass these regulations (not so legally) by routing their vacations via Canada or Mexico, thus joining the hundreds of thousands of Europeans and Canadians who enjoy Cuban vacations each year. But there's trouble in paradise--namely, the Bush administration.

Friday, July 13, Bush ordered the Treasury Department to crack down on these lawbreakers, requesting additional funds for the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to improve its ability to monitor Cuban travel. "It is important that we uphold and enforce the law to the fullest extent with a view toward preventing unlicensed and excessive travel, enforcing limits on remittances and ensuring humanitarian and cultural exchanges actually reach pro-democracy activists in Cuba," Bush wrote in a statement.
