(1) On July 1, 2015, President Obama an-
nounced that Cuba and the United States would re-
open their embassies and restore diplomatic ties. 
(2) Diplomatic relations between the two coun-
tries were formally reestablished July 20, 2015, 
when the United States and Cuba reopened their re-
spective embassies. 
(3) The International Business Times reported 
on September 10, 2015, that ‘‘Texas is on pace this 
year to set a new record for the number of Cubans 
trying to enter the United States through the Lone 
Star State, with about 60 percent more migrants 
from the island nation making the trip in 2015 com-
pared to one year before.’’. 
(4) The Obama Administration has reestab-
lished relations with Cuba, and that, therefore, the 
special treatment Cuban nationals receive under the 
Cuban Adjustment Act, the Immigration and Na-
tionality Act, the Cuban Family Reunification Pro-
gram and the Wet Foot/Dry Foot policy are no 
longer applicable and fail the ‘‘urgent humanitarian 
reasons’’ and ‘‘significant public benefit’’ tests. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that Cuban nationals should be treated under the 
same immigration rules as nationals of other countries
