My colleagues. we have a consolidated Communist state on our doorstep close to our Southern borders on the same continent on which we all live and work and raise our children. Those Sandinistas. those Communists. are closer to me in New Orleans than I am to New York City. The SovietCuban style state borders 50 percent of all our critical sealanes for imports and exports of all products that we bring into the country. as communism continues its expansion throughout Central America. millions of refugees will continue to pour into the United States. like they did taking nothing but the shirts off their backs on the boats that could not even float out to sea In South Vietnam. We are going to have to house them and clothe them and feed them and find them jobs. and also iind the Jobs for those they displace. We cannot afford a NicaraguanSoviet base.
