Travel between Cuba and the U.S.

Here's an interesting article about American university students visiting Cuba

It talks about the stricter limits on visits to Cuba. Individuals visiting relatives has dropped by 50%. Furthermore, academic trips must be longer than 10 weeks. Cuban academics are also being denied visas to the U.S. I find this article interesting for what it does not say. Many Americans visit Cuba all the time, but do so illegally. Here's an example of a website that caters to Americans looking to go to Cuba illegally: USA Cuba Travel Their website brags that they have sent over 100,000 Americans to Cuba. I would love to see the statistics on how many Americans REALLY go to Cuba.
