No other death has been shown. And that is not by the United States. that is by an international organization. The other fact. that people do not like to talk about. is that Salvadoran nationals are the second largest group of illegal aliens apprehended in the United States now. but have been for 24 straight years. They were coming al norte before Duarte. before DAubuisson. before the Communists. before everything. For 24 years Salvadorans have been the second largest group of illegal aliens in the United States. They are coming because. basically. for economic reasons. and I do not blame them. The point is we cannot determine our immigration problems because of the problems of another countrys economics. Yet. we would have been required under the rule that was up upon its adoption to allow every single Salvadoran and Nicaraguan in this country illegally to be granted extended voluntary departure no matter when they came in before November. Now. that is a subject that needs to be debated. a subject that needs to be voted on.
