People say we do not want another Vietnam in El Salvador. You bet we do not want another Vietnam in El Salvador. because we lost in Vietnam and we are talking about our own back yard when we talk about El Salvador. We shall have an immigration problem in this country that will be unimaginable when we have millions of people voting with their feet and walking across the 2.100mile border of the United States with Mexico. I say we should reorganize the U.S. foreign policy on a NorthSouth axis and realize that we have to start getting along with our friends in Canada. our friends in Mexico. our friends in Latin America. and certainly in the Caribbean Basin. I think we should be doing better with people in Cuba. we should not be in an ideological war with them.
