Threefourths of all our oil imports have to follow sealanes through the Caribbean. It would be most uncomfortable if these important countries in the Caribbean were in unfriendly hands. Third. this is a time when we are concerned about illegal immigrants. We are going to debate in a few days the matter of immigrationabout the Haitians. about the Mexicans. about the Indonesians. about South Americans who are illegally entering the United States. Every study has indicated that the economic pressures in the Caribbean nations have contributed heavily to the illegal immigration to the United States. If we want those people to remain where they are. I believe the time has come for us to address these economic conditions of these countries.
