It is important that we make sure that the Federal Government has the ability to respond to all possible contingencies. It is also important that Congress carefully review that proposal. to make certain that the new measures provided are appropriate. I commend him for his commitment to move quickly to hold hearings on the administrations proposal. and to move the proposal through the Immigration Subcommittee. I stand prepared to do whatever I can to help him. I thank the Senator from Wyoming for discussing this important issue. It is essential that Congress and the administration signal their determination to respond to any future mass migrations to the United States. By making clear that there is authority to respond to such crises. and by showing our determination to strengthen existing authority. we are sending a message to the people of the United States and to the people of other countries that we are determined never to allow a Martel to occur again. We sent a signal that the United States. and not the Fidel Castros of this world. will set our immigration policies.
