Cuban Visitation

Since the Cuban revolution the United States has had an embargo on Cuba severely restricting visitation and trade between the two countries. Since there are many Cuban-Americans who wish to be able to visit their home country to visit family that still remains in Cuba this embargo has been problematic. Usually the visitation rights for Cuban-Americans changes under each presidency making it either easier or harder for these people to visit family or friends from their country of origin. Under President Obama there has been a somewhat drastic change in policy for travel to Cuba. Travel restrictions that have been in place for decades are being slowly lifted and now Cuban-Americans are allowed to travel to Cuba as frequently as they wish in order to support family and friends, it has also become much easier for Cuban-Americans to give money to people in Cuba.
