There is no question that a substantial industry has built up around the entire world. some if it legitimate. some of it very illegitimate. stemming principally from the generosity of the United States. the ease with which people are brought into this country and what is available to them once they get here. The Senator from Louisiana may be referring to the voluntary agencies that exist for the purpose of assisting immigrants who come here. particularly refugees. Many of these do an outstanding job and provide a good service. They are. in fact. of course paid a fee per refugee that they bring in. For instance. the last information I had relating to the Haitians who are being released is that the payment to the voluntary agency is $650 for each one. They more or less commit that they will take care of the needs of that refugee. but in most cases that is not the case. The person probably will wind up on one or more of the public assistance programs.
