Speech #960183703

The previous amendment which was offered and defeated nevertheless raises a point of legitimate concern. and that is there are some limits. and other countries of the world. I regret to say. have not done what I think is their fair share. When refugees do find shelters and haven in free countries it just seems to me that they ought not to have a continuing or persistent status as refugees. If they do not like England. or Belgium. or Ireland. they should not then be admitted into our country as refugees. They may well be immigrants and wait in line. but their refugee status ought to terminate at some point. I appreciate the assurances that the subcommittee of the gentleman from New York and chaired by the gentlewoman from New York will look into this matter and monitor the situation.
