Mr. Speaker. the gentleman from Michigan who was in the well a few moments ago made a point with regard to unemployment here in this country. I would like to talk to the Members of the House for Just one moment about the problems of unemployment in Florida and the problems that are being caused by illegal immigration into this country. We know that the vast majority of those coming to our country are economic refugees. people coming from the Caribbean and all over Central and South America. most of them looking for nothing more than a better life. The problems that are related to this flow of illegal immigration into the United States are overwhelming. We are going to see debate later this afternoon on an immigration bill. This immigration bill has been brought to this House at a time of great emergency. Yet I think in this lameduck session. with the number of amendments that have been pending. that those who would care to kill this bill will have little trouble in the closing hours of debate in the next few days. This makes this Caribbean Initiative most important. this Caribbean Basin Initiative.
