It is a laughing matter to some of you. but let me say to you that if you talk about human compassion. it is the guerrillas who destroy the buses the poor ride in. it is the guerrillas who kill the poor. The rich can flee countries. The rich can get away from communism. It is by your votes for a decade now that the leftwing of the Democratic Party has again and again undercut the capacity of freedom to survive. It is by your votes that in the end there have been boat people from Vietnam. that there have been people from Cambodia. and that there are refugees from Nicaragua and El Salvador. This amendment. I think. is a true test of who in this body is willing to ignore the Soviet Union.
