Speech #990170851

Everybody here is worried about the Cubans in Managua. Nobody is worried about the Cubans in Cuba. Cuba is 90 miles from the United States. The answer I received from a Senator. a rightwing Senator. a very conservative Senator. is. "They can walk from Managua to the United States." An asinine excuse for $100 million. We have had refugees in leaky rowboats come from Cuba to our shores. If refugees in leaky rowboats can come. so can Cubans in amphibious craft. If we are really going to be so concerned about the proximity of the Cubans. It is an insult to the intelligence of the American people.
