That is a selfish reason. but it is something that we have to consider. We were told that there are 300.000 to 500.000 El Salvadoran former citizens now living in the United States. and that is a country still trying to maintain its freedom. If that freedom were to collapse. if the Communist rebels were to take over. as happened in Southeast Asia. for example. and the wholesale slaughter of human beings. the rigid imposition of a dictatorship. the foot soldiers. the foot people. the closeness of El Salvador to the United States would mean many more hundreds of thousands of immigrants. Now that is a selfish reason. But let me give you more positively reason why I think the country of El Salvador deserves our assistance.
