We have overlooked opportunities. and shirked responsibilities. and in the end we may have. more than we think. aided and abetted the disaster which seems to be brewing. We already are suffering some of the consequences. The refugee situation is one of them. In spite of modest efforts to restrain and control the flow of refugees. we have admitted over 100.000 of them into this country. I was told by the refugees that. given the chance. thousands of other Cubans would follow them. If other Latin American governments fall. and communism takes over. it will be only a matter of time until significant numbers of their people seek refuge on our shores. In due time. the refugee problem would overtax. if not overwhelm us. We cannot permit this sort of disaster to occur. or even let the present situation go on forever. At some part down the road. we must pay the price of correcting it.
