This is about as lame an excuse for bad legislation as we have heard in some time. Of course. it would have required more time and effort. But it is not. after all. the business of legislators to legislate? And if the President vetoes this measureas we expect and hope he willwill not both House and Senate have to get to work on another meassure anyway? They will unless they can override his veto. And judging by the narrow margin (44 to 40) with which this bill passed the Senate. we rather doubt they can muster the votes to do so. The World Refugee Year
