Altogether. EVD has been granted about 15 times since 1960. Because of the uncertainties and fears about what awaits the some 100 Salvadorans who are deported each week by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. the Salvadoran refugees who are in the United States are frequently sheltered. fed. and employed by lawabiding citizens and church congregations who are torn between potentially disobeying the law. on the one hand. and casting out these refugees from extreme civil strife. on the other. It is because I am all too familiar with this dilemma as I read my constituent mail that I have cosponsored S. 2131. a bill to temporarily suspend the deportation of Salvadorans until questions about their status in Central America can be resolved. I am not an advocate of civil disobedience. I want to see the Salvadoran refugee problem in the United States addressed responsibly. in a humanitarian manner. and within the confines of the law.
