Eight Republican and Democratic U.S. senators have introduced legislation to repeal all restrictions on U.S. citizens’ travel to Cuba. Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois co-sponsored the bill.

Sen. Richard Durbin: “We tried it for 50 years. We said if we close the door on Cuba, Cuba would change. We did not succeed in that policy. It’s time for a new policy, a policy that we know is proven to work.”
