Will the restrictions to be able to travel to Cuba be lifted?

Ever since President Barack Obama has been elected, one of the things he said he wanted to change was to remove the restrictions for people to be able to travel to Cuba. With Fidel Castro no longer being Cuba's President, there seems to be hopes in changes within Cuba and the United States. There's a state law that was ruled in 2008 towards increasing regulations on agencies selling trips to Cuba which make it harder for people to book flights from South Florida.Michelle R. Bennett, an attorney for the U.S. Justice Department said ''They are unconstitutional and preempted by federal law," when discussing the requirements passed by the legislature last year that increased the amount of bond money and registration fees agencies specializing in trips to Cuba. In the Miami Herald it stated that the state law, which requires the agencies to post up to a $250,000 bond and pay up to $2,500 in registration fees, is at the center of a lawsuit filed in July against the state by more than a dozen local travel agency owners. For now, the Cuban exiles can travel to Cuba once every year and stay as long as they like, a move that overturned a Bush administration policy that allowed visits only once every three years. There has been a mentioning that Obama will be announce the lifting of the remaining restrictions on Cuban family travel and remittances to coincide in next week's Fifth Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain, Trinidad. The problem lies in the fact that if there fewer traveling agencies around to sell the trips. State Representative David Rivera has begun pressing the issue of traveling to Cuba. He has introduced a clause to the state's education budget that prohibits the use of state funds for academic trips to the island. Hopefully there will be a solution to this problem with travelling to Cuba for all those Cuban Americans or Cubans with loved ones that they haven't seen in years. There should be some compassion for those that are affected under this restriction.
