I do not know what foolish pleasure can be had from these foolish suggestions. but I hope that Congress and the American people will reject out of hand this kind of foolish approach. There is no pleasure to be had in it. foolish or otherwise. There is no need for legislation providing for the use of American ships and planes to return any refugees. One plane will take the 45 back. Others can go if they wish. There are only 35.000 heads of families in this group. and that is the resettlement problem. 125.000 can be taken care of if placement is found for these 35.000 heads of families. Sixty percent of these refugees are children. When have the American people ever turned their backs on helpless children? What American can look into the face of these children and say. "I will send you back at the risk of death and destruction of your entire future"?
