Mr. Speaker. the joint resolution that the House adopted some time ago was designed to enable us to participate in the World Refugee Year. The Senate added an amendment. totally unrelated to the purpose of this legislation. providing for the admission of about 4.500 Chinese from Hong Kong. There are over 1 million Chinese from Communist China in Hong Kong at the present time. These are people who cannot be screened. nobody knows anything about them. No international agency such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is allowed to pass on their status. Nobody knows how many of them have been sent down to Hong Kong by the Chinese Communists for infiltration purposes. Our security agencies know nothing about them.
Identified stereotypes
Implies that all Chinese from Hong Kong are potential communist infiltrators.
