VIDEO: Gracias por Visitar

"Gracias por visitar" basically translates to "Thanks for visiting." It's a phrase that many Cuban Americans do not hear when visiting Cuba, because many Cuban Americans never get to travel to Cuba. I talk with Joe Garcia, a politician running for the US House or Representatives, about the travel restrictions to Cuba.
