Mr. Speaker. the fall of Vietnam and the resulting influx of refugees to the United States have been the cause of many controversies. One columnist. Ms. Shana Alexander. has said that refugees. especially the children. would be better off staying in Vietnam. The fallacy of this idea is so blatant that no one quite seems to take it seriously enough to refute it. But the line did appear in Newsweek. an influential magazine with a large circulation. In response to this column. John D. Lofton. Jr. has written one of the best analyses of the "excellent social services" myth to appear in print to date.
