Second. Florida would be very glad to be relieved of it at any time. Florida is very close to Cuba. and refugees. to the extent of nearly 200.000. have come to Florida under the policies of this Nation. I think they are good policies. Under them. we grant asylum to such refugees. Our area. which is closest to Cuba. has appealed to the Cuban refugees as one in which they would like to stay. because they live in daily hope of returning to their nearby homes. We hope that their hope may be speedily realized. While they are in Florida. if they are permitted to seek employment thereand they are. under our national policiesthey are displacing thousands of our citizens. and those thousands of our citizens are just as much entitled. we believe. to the consideration of the Senate and to the consideration of the Nation as are the thousands of citizens who are unemployed because of other causes. in other areas of the Nation.
