Mr. Chairman. let me make one more observation. Last night we were subject to extensive debate on the immigration reform bill. I do not want to diminish the importance of the legislation. but Members should examine the CBI in terms of immigration. It is a fact. the Caribbean Basin region is the second largest source of illegal immigration to the United States. With better economic conditions. the mass immigration will surely slow down. The trade bill under consideration today is a wellbalanced program. The bill combines a substantial economic stimulus to Caribbean countries with essential and adequate safeguards for American economic interests.
