I think what this means is that we in Congress and the United States as a nation. whether governed by Republicans or Democrats have a vested interest in our security and what is going on with our neighbors to the south. I would say there are many of my constituents. and. I am sure. of the distinguished Presiding Officers constituents who talk with us about immigration and illegal immigrants coming into this country. I only say that if we fail at this point to restrain the SovietCuban aggression. and fail to do whatever is necessary to defeat it. we have not seen anything yet in terms of an immigration problem in this country because. once the revolution starts in Mexico. it will not have to be successful. If revolution just starts with our neighbors to the south. in Mexico. we shall have immigration problems across that 2.100mile border that one has not imagined up to this time. There is a 2.100mile border virtually unguarded and untended between ourselves and our friends in Mexico to the south. All it will take is for the United States to stand idly by and allow the MarxistLenin revolutions to be successful in El Salvador.
