There are Mexicans in the western part of this country who would like to have some of their relatives come in and reunite with them. but every time a Cuban comes into this country. that eliminates the possibility of a Mexican bringing one of his relatives into this country to reunite with him. There is one other point I would like to make. We talk about the humanitarian principle involved and talk about people escaping oppression. Are we going to be selective about the kinds of oppression we are concerned about? Or are we going to admit the people of Haiti or Brazil who want to escape oppression in their countries on the same basis as we admit the refugees from Cuba?
