One additional question. We talk about the financial contribution that Cuban refugees are making to this country. I would like to point out that in this gentlemans home district the U.S. Government pays $17 million in impact aid for Cuban refugee children in the school system. but that is only 60 percent of the cost of educating those children. which means that the gentlemans constituents have to pay an additional $13 million a year for the education of those children. If we continue to bring Cuban refugees into this country at the rate of 1.000 per week. as we have been bringing them in since 1965. the cost of the Cuban program is going to be. not $112 million. but $500 million. I think it is unfair to have unlimited. unrestricted immigrtion of Cubans and restricted. limited immigration for other people in the Western Hemisphere. Every time a Cuban refugee comes into this country we reduce the quota that we impose upon all the other Western Hemisphere countriesMexico. Canada. and Latin America. We talk about humanitarianism. and we talk about reuniting families.
