I listened to the gentlemans remarks. and I will say that the whole statement is a tissue of misinformation. I would also say that misinformation and lack of information surround the gentleman like a blanket. and there is not even a hole in it. The jurisdiction of the committee concerns refugees and the settlement of refugees as well as immigration. Why do we go to what is known as the Intergovernmental Committee on European Migration? Not to bring the refugees to the United States. not to encourage the refugees to come to the United States. not to encourage displaced persons to come to the United States. We go to ICEM so that with other nations in concert with ours we encourage those displaced persons and refugees to go to other countries. more particularly to South America. When we had issues pertaining to refugees in Denmark. the gentleman should know--or. if he does not know. he should look into the facts and not give a lot of misinformation heremembers of the Judiciary Committee went to Denmark. a member of ICEM. to encourage that country to assist refugees to go to Brazil. to Argentina. and to Peru. and not to come to the United States. I am sure the gentleman would be the first man to vote against refugees coming into the United States.
