I happen to agree with many of the facts that he has put forth. but I very strenuously disagree with his conclusions. I think. first of all. the gentleman has repeatedly said that. "Where I come from in North Dakota things are treated one way or another. we look at foreign aid. we understand the plight of the farmers. perhaps we ought to be spending less on foreign aid." The gentlemans point. though. is that we should not be spending our money. at least according to many people. on people abroad when we could be spending it at home. I would submit. frankly. that seems to me to be a regional perception from a lot of people in the gentlemans part of the country. be it South or North Dakota and other parts of the northern regions of the United States or the far Northwest or even the Northeast. for if you live down in Louisiana and. as the crow fliesperhaps not as you drive. but as the crow fliesonly about 1.000 miles to 1.100 from Managua. the capital of Nicaragua. and you receive the input of all of this mass emigration that is already starting to flee to the United States from Central American countries. for whatever reasons. for poverty. for political oppression. or what have you. as you see the economic onslaught that is brought about and imposed upon the citizens of the Southern reaches of the United States because of this massive immigration. you begin to understand perhaps there are other problems that are simply more imminent to us than they are perhaps to you and folks where you come from. Nicaragua is in Central America. Whether you can drive to the United States in 2 days or 4 days is irrelevant.
