Many people do not realize that a great number of the Haitians who came here came here because they were recruited by entrepreneurs. very unsavory characters who promised them safe passage. promised them entry into this country. and of course. all of the things this country has to offer. In exchange they took their savings. The standard fee was several hundred dollars to put them on a boat and set sail for our coast. That. too. is an industry that has been built up. That industry also exists in Southeast Asia. In Indochina many of those refugees get here through the same kind of system. It is not an inconsiderable industry that has been established. I yield to the Senator.
