Casinos are coming to Cuba again

Gamblers may soon be able to relive Cuba’s roaring 50s—in more ways than one

By I. Nelson Rose

Diplomatic relations have been restored and the U.S. embassy in Havana and the Cuban embassy in Washington, D.C., are being reopened. Travel restrictions have been eased, though Americans without relatives in Cuba still have to be part of educational or similar programs to visit the island nation. But Pres. Obama has done as much as he can on his own. It may be difficult for Americans to travel to North Korea or Iran. But Cuba is the only country in the world where American tourists and businesses bars are barred not by a declaration from the U.S. State Department, but by an act of Congress. So Cuba will remain off-limits until Congress passes another act.

Unfortunately for both Americans and Cubans, Congress is unlikely to act, until well after the 2016 election.

The problem is purely political. The Cuban revolution of January 1959 led to the communist dictatorship of Fidel Castro and the nationalization of all private industry and property. The wealthy ruling class left with whatever they could carry. Many ended up in the U.S., particularly Florida. They naturally hated Castro. For five decades, these Cuban refugees determined the direction of American policy.
