The bad news is that the Presidents warning about millions of desperate Latin peoples fleeing north into the cities of the Southern United States has already come true. Mr. Speaker. the specter the President so vividly described of a tidal wave of humanity crossing our southern border by the millions is not a prophesyit is a reality. More often than not. the illegal aliens bursting across our border are not fleeing political repression. They are attempting to escape the tragic poverty. the poor health care. the lack of education. and the general economic chaos that plagues much of Latin America. Their desperate efforts to enter the United States are in major part a result of rampant population growth in Latin America.
