Sen. Rick Scott in Washington Examiner: Don’t defund the police. Fund the police.
Senator Rick Scott wrote an op-ed for the Washington Examiner on why the radical Left’s calls to defund the police are dangerous.
In the op-ed, Senator Rick Scott wrote, “While the vast majority of police officers in Florida and around the country uphold their oath to serve and protect, people are right to call for reform and accountability to stop bad actors. We must find ways to keep communities safe and protect black lives with the same zeal all lives are protected.
But defunding or disarming the police is not the answer. Simply put, it is a dangerous proposal driven by the radical Left whose agenda of "Medicare for all," the Green New Deal, open borders, and defunding law enforcement is being increasingly embraced by the leaders of the Democratic Party.
… The goal of these proposals is to advance an extremist agenda, not seek genuine reforms that will protect communities and end racial violence. Stripping our brave men and women in uniform of the resources necessary to protect our communities would do nothing to keep people safe. In fact, this would endanger our communities more.
… Whatever your job is, there is a very high likelihood that it is less difficult, less taxing, less perilous, and less scrutinized than the job of law enforcement officials. Police officers across Florida and across the country risk their lives every day to keep people safe, and they deserve our appreciation. They uphold their oath to serve and protect.
I won’t let the radical Left use the crimes of a few bad actors to demonize good, hard-working police officers in Florida.
Don’t defund the police. Fund the police.”

Miami Herald: Scott’s New Bill Targets Countries that Hire Cuban Doctors Through Official ‘Missions’
In case you missed it, Senators Rick Scott, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio introduced the Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act, which will require the Department of State to publish the list of countries that contract with the Cuban regime for their medical missions program, and to consider that a factor on their ranking in the State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons report.
Read more in the Miami Herald article, Scott’s new bill targets countries that hire Cuban doctors through official ‘missions’, below.
“A new bill introduced by Florida Republican Sen. Rick Scott on Wednesday would target countries that hire Cuban doctors through the ‘medical missions’ controlled by the island’s government.
The Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act requires the State Department to publish the list of countries that contract the doctors through the Cuban government and to consider that as a factor in their ranking in the State Department’s annual Trafficking in Persons report.
Scott, who led the effort along with Cuban-American Sens. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said the Cuban government was participating “in the human trafficking of doctors” and that any country that requests medical assistance from Cuba is aiding such efforts.
… The Cuban government has almost 30,000 healthcare workers contracted in more than 50 countries. And senators said the government was trying to profit from the pandemic too, as around 2,500 doctors and nurses have been sent to more than 20 nations to treat COVID-19 patients.”

En caso de que se lo haya perdido, los senadores Rick Scott, Ted Cruz y Marco Rubio presentaron el proyecto de ley Detener las Ganancias del Régimen Cubano, que requerirá que el Departamento de Estado publique la lista de países que tienen contratos con el régimen cubano para su programa de misiones médicas, y considerar esto como un factor en su clasificación en el informe anual de Trata de Personas (TIP, por sus siglas en inglés) del Departamento de Estado.

“Un nuevo proyecto de ley presentado el miércoles por el senador republicano de la Florida Rick Scott penalizaría a países que contratan médicos cubanos a través de las “misiones médicas” controladas por el gobierno de la isla.
La Ley de Reducción de Ganancias para el Régimen Cubano (Cut Profits to the Cuban Regime Act) requiere que el Departamento de Estado publique la lista de países que contratan a los médicos a través del gobierno cubano. El proyecto de ley propone que esto se considere como un factor en la clasificación del país en el informe anual del Departamento de Estado sobre la trata de personas.
Scott, quien presentó la legislación junto con los senadores cubanoamericanos Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Ted Cruz (R-TX), dijo que el gobierno cubano estaba participando “en el tráfico humano de médicos” y que cualquier país que solicite asistencia médica a Cuba está ayudando a tales esfuerzos.
... El gobierno cubano tiene casi 30,000 trabajadores de la salud contratados en más de 50 países. Y los senadores dijeron que el gobierno también estaba tratando de sacar provecho de la pandemia, ya que alrededor de 2,500 médicos y enfermeras han sido enviados a más de 20 países para tratar a pacientes con Covid-19.”
