So. the gentlemans interest is shared by a fine legislator from his State. There was a good deal of interest in it. I must say. the fact that we are clamping down here illustrates the disarray we have relative to the issue of immigrants in this country. If we are permitting a flood of immigrants to come in without sponsors and without any careful screening. it is an interesting commentary that those who are backed by responsible people are now being held to a much tighter standard than previously by this provision. I think the provision is entirely appropriate. but it is obvious that we have got to get our whole refugee and immigrant policy in better shape than it is. or we are going to have massive contradictions similar to this incurring from the influx of Cubans in Florida taking place at the same time. by agreement and by widespread approval. when we are tightening the requirements made of immigrants who are sponsored into this country.
