America has been considered the "great melting pot." in which cultural differences blended. However. at the present time we simply lack the ability to absorb 14.000 more people each month. or another 168.000 per year. With our economy being strained from many sides. to permit immigration into the United States at this rate will serve only to increase our unemployment rate even beyond the projected 8 percent next year. So. Mr. Speaker. with uncertainty being the only thing we have in lavish supply and with the possibility of millions of Americans being out of work. I question the wisdom of our socalled commitments to accept so many additional refugees at this time. In our own area. in the area I represent in Biloxi. Miss.. this has already caused problems with the number of refugees that have been settled there. We are expecting more to be coming in. It is causing legal problems. it is causing economic problems.
