Mr. Speaker. I thank my friend. the ranking minority member of the Judiciary Committee. for yielding. and also for taking the time to present this important issue in this special order. Mr. Speaker. the tradition of political asylum and of immigrants coming to our shores in search of freedom has been one of the guiding principles on which our Nation was founded. The Statue of Liberty points out. beckoning the poor and the downtrodden to our shores. However. I believe the time has come when all of these policies must be reexamined. Unfortunately. this reexamination is necessary because of failed foreign policies of the past 25 years which have been based on weakness and retreating before the movement of worldwide communism.
