Administration Proposes Renewed Immigration Talks With Cuba

The Obama administration asked Cuba’s communist government on Friday to resume talks on legal immigration to the United States. Such talks had been suspended by President George W. Bush.

The State Department said it had proposed that the discussions be restarted to “reaffirm both sides’ commitment to safe, legal and orderly migration, to review trends in illegal Cuban migration to the United States and to improve operational relations with Cuba on migration issues.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/22/AR2009052203497.htmlBy Matthew Lee — Associated Press
