It presents us with a conflict between our normal commitment to human rights. our humanitarian instincts. our JudeoChristian beliefs and ethics. on the one hand. and on the other hand. our commitment to the first law of nature. which is selfpreservation. Now. I think that the bill is correct. at least to this extent: there must be a limit. there must be a cap on how many immigrants we are going to take into this country. But I also believe there must be a cap on how many refugees we are going to permit to enter. Otherwise. our work is for naught. We are in the position of people on a lifeboat.
