Honduras. Nicaragua. or Poland. Although I question the low percentage of asylum claims approved. it is important to point out that my legislation is not intended to raise it. My legislation is not designed. nor should it be interpreted to protect persons who can prove an individual wellfounded fear of persecution. If an Individual is being targeted as a returnee. he or she should be granted asylum. Suspension of deportation or EVD should be granted because of the general condition of violence that exists in El Salvador. I do not offer this legislation as a criticism of the administrations policies in El Salvador or Central America. I have supported U.S. policy in El Salvador because I believe it is in the best interests of both countries.
