For the first time. these people have come to these shores. and with all the anxiety of any one of us in this Chamber who has not seen one of our loved ones. and all of a sudden realize that we can touch and feel and find ourselves in a Fort Chaffee or find ourselves in an Eglin or find ourselves in an Indiantown Gap. Pa.. and know we are going to see our families. we are going to see our loved ones. I would suggest to the gentleman from Missouri that he be absolutely careful in terms of how we discuss the question of Cuban refugees. because we are treading on very thin ice in terms of this amendment. There is a great deal of frustration. and I would hope that nobody in this Chamber would be locked in one of those Air Force bases or one of those Army camps waiting and knowing that their families are outside. Now. if you can understand that frustration and vote yes to this. then I would suggest to you that you are on the wrong track.
