I do not think we would have lost 58.000 Americans and untold treasury in what we call Vietnam. I am convinced of that. But I rise today because the immigration bill also as proposed thus far takes no cognizance of what is happening over here. Some factors of which this bill ought to take notice of. caused by what I consider to be the mistaken and misguided actions. I will not even dignify it with the word "policy." but actions of the Reagan administration under the insistence of President Reagan. which in effect have created for the first time in our part of the Southwest United States an influx of as many fleeing from Salvador. for instance. where we have sponsored such things as what we used to call in Vietnam hamlet pacification. where we have with our attack Huey helicopters killed and continue to kill. even as I am speaking today. innocent old women. old men. children. and. peasants.
