I know they are not going to get to Minnesota with all of that in front of them. But I think the more important concern. of course. has been almost what I would say is a flood of what is illegal immigration that has come into the Nation. and that certainly is a serious concern and yet one that is not addressed. But I might say the greater threat has occurred not because of some of the illegal but some of the legal. some of the invitations that went out. for instance. to various people who settled in Florida and settled in other parts of our Nation who fled these nations and in fact have now formed and even trained their various groups in our country with private support and. I guess. not so subtle public tolerance of that. only to then use our nation as a basis of training. of raising money to then return to Central America to cause some difficulty. to form these various groups. and so forth. and the public policy that seems to be at least blind or actually endorsing those sorts of activities. So I think these sorts of scare tactics and these sorts of innuendoes that have characterized some of this show I think more the desperation of the position rather than the logic of the position of those who would advocate this type of aid.
