Secretary Enders underscored the importance of this notion of deterrence when he testified in support of a contingency plan before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said: Castro. and the Cuban people. must be in no doubt or uncertainty about the nature of our response to a new Mariel. If they believe we are unprepared to handle an illegal immigration emergency. if they believe we will waver between attempting to stop the migration and welcoming it. if they believe we will in the end welcome the arrivals and resettle them in American communities. then the temptation to deal us another blow will be very great. Mr. President.
