I would point out that the "boat people" have become boat people" directly as a result of our policies in Southeast Asia. It is too late to do anything about that. However. it is not too late to repay the debt we owe these people. many of whom served the United States when we were in Southeast Asia. The Carter administration has stated that the monthly quota of refugees has been raised from 7.000 to 14.000. I applaud this. It is now the responsibility of Congress to appropriate the funds to care for these additional refugees. This in no way violates precepts of fiscal conservatism. To me. this is an issue Which transcends politics or ideology.
