In relative terms. $27 million is small in contrast to the $13.5 billion price tag of H.R. 2577. However. if the Sandinistas are successful in exporting their revolution without borders. the cost in terms of human misery and expenditures will be much greater than $13.5 billion. Hundreds of thousands of refugees that will require food. clothing. housing. And medical care will stream across our borders. We will need to geometrically increase the amount of money that we spend on bc.rder patrol and immigration personnel. And those will only be the initial costs. I would have preferred that Congress would have passed the aid package back in April.
