I Just want to point out to the gentleman from Wisconsin. my neighboring State. that we have serious problems and the absence of these funds. these dollars. have to be taken from local dollars that would go for the serious education and social needs that exist in that community. I want to say that I think. contrary to the views of the gentleman. that this is breeding a welfare dependency. The fact of the matter is. these Hmong refugees. these Indochinese refugees. are among the hardest working and dedicated people in improving their own skills. their own educational level. of any group of refugees or any group of immigrants that has come to this country. but I think to contrast that is very important as well. During the early part of this century. when we had Poles and Italians and Scandinavians and Germans as refugees. the situation today is far different. There is not this common problem that exists. In other words. they are alone and they are isolated.
