Mr. Speaker. as the following article from the April 2. 1984. edition of the St. Paul Dispatch makes clear. refugees from El Salvador seeking asylum in this country are faced with a serious and disheartening dilemma. These individuals have fled an unlivable situation in their homeland and come to the United States seeking the spirit of human rights that serves as the foundation of American life. Upon arrival. however. they are confronted by an unsympathetic administration which will not extend them the same voluntary departure conditions it does refugees from other nations. As the following editorial points out. it is time for us to recognize that an injustice is being done and to take action. [From the St. Paul Dispatch.
