I am saying that refugees are fleeing tyranny. They are fleeing Communist interruptions of economies in Honduras and more apecifically. El Salvador. They are fleeing tyranny in Nicaragua. They are fleeing this Marxist revolution. It happened in Vietnam. 10 percent of the population left by boat. And here. as Ronald Reagan said. all one needs to do is go by foot to leave. And at 50.000 a month now. what if Honduras. Guatemala. Costa Rica. with no army to speak of. and Mexico with its economic destabilizing condition today. what if they were all to fall? Some estimates go as high aE 500.000 a month flooding across the border.
