Have we become so "security conscious." so concerned that we might not be able to buy that third color TV for the upstairs den. that we seem to have forgotten that we got where we are by taking risks and by opening our doors to others so that they might take the same risks? Have we also forgotten that freedom is never free and that turning our backs on those who seek it can only hasten the coming of the day when we will lose it ourselves? Perhaps the ultimate irony is that past experience indicates that these refugees from totalitarianism will likely be in the forefront of those willing to fight for our freedom when the occasion arises. What such protest really bolls dowr to is a repudiation of our moral fiber and spirit as a Nation. We seem to be abandoning those principles for which we have fought so long and so hard.
