Rubio's Visa Restrictions for Cuba
Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently announced expanded visa restrictions for members of the Cuban government participating in the ‘exploitation’ of medical workers.
Secretary Rubio’s visa restrictions announcement follows reports that the Communist Cuban regime is profiting off the forced labor of Cuban doctors.
“Cuba continues to profit from the forced labor of its workers and the regime’s abusive and coercive labor practices are well documented,” claimed Rubio. “Cuba’s labor export programs, which include the medical missions, enrich the Cuban regime, and in the case of Cuba’s overseas medical missions, deprive ordinary Cubans of the medical care they desperately need in their home country.”
Does Texas have a constitutional right to defy Supreme Court on protecting its border?
Rubio’s new visa restrictions limit the legal travel capacity current or former Cuban government officials, and other individuals, including foreign government officials, who are believed to be involved in or responsible for Cuba’s overseas medical missions.

Last we checked, the Supreme Court is above the 9th Circuit. We are appealing, yet again, to the Supreme Court and will not stop until Arizona's proof of citizenship to vote law is upheld.
