what went wrong in rhode island? how'd rhode island not benefit from the same forces that helped massachusetts and new york? >> i'll tell you what i think. my theory. massachusetts has done a great job of partnering and collaborating. you know government can't do everything. government cannot make an economy work. it has to be collaboration and bottoms up. great things happen at the intersection of universities working with government working with business and massachusetts and pittsburgh and other places that have had a renaissance, they've nailed that. and rhode island hasn't. we just haven't brought together -- yes, we have brown university. we have rhode island school of design. but we haven't married them with industry. so we haven't tapped the intellectual capital there to turn those great ideas into comers. the other thing candidly is as a state we were just too reliant for too long on manufacturing. just so everyone knows rhode island was hurt more than almost any state in the country, more than michigan, in

virgin islands. we contacted dhs to see what assets were available to intercept some of this human trafficking and to assist in terms of the amount of drugs that come through those channels. we haven't been very much successful in acquiring any federal support for this problem. we are going to need to reach out, because that is a weak link in the chain as we're concerned about terrorist activities and the different things that are happening that can affect the country. that is a significant hold that is open because of the number of keys and islands and their proximities to each other, but they belong to different nations. the question is whether some assets can be put in place from the national system, and the virgin islands is fairly willing to do its part. we simply do not have the resources to undertake that responsibility to deal with it. we can provide the numerical statistics on the number and nationalities of individuals that the local government have detained coming through the neighborhoods

you wouldn't have so many cubans fleeing the island. last year crossing from mexico there were over 22,000 cubans that we know that crossed from mexico. >> they are not happy with the castros. >> they are not happy, there's not that support. there's an enormous amount of remittances from the united states and elsewhere. the piece that was fascinating is that it talks about the divide the racial divide. most of the people that have been able to flee are those with families on the outside. and so if you really wanted to do - it's an opportunity to partner in better smarter ways. >> let me ask you this: if the lifting of the thankses thankses -- sanctions and the embargo makes cubans better off, is na not the goal in the end? >> the castro their gig is almost up. the calendar keeps on advancing. the economy is in the hands of the military. we are fattening up the military. you know on the dictatorships, if you have a rifle. you are in charge. we made them wealthier, powered them more. and there's nothing to indicate that they will change.
