I believe that as flawed as it is. the Schumer compromise is the best we can get. and we should give it a try. Fifth. Salvadoran and Nicaraguan refugees. The rule allows for a shot at this issue. Continued violence in El Salvador and Nicaragua illustrates the urgent necessity for enactment of this provision. Let us treat Salvadoran and Nicaraguan refugees the same way we treat everybody. And we need a new definition of political refugees. This rule also contains in the enrolled bill a provision that is fair and just to Cuban political prisoners. The bill also contains a provision that deals with border revitalization. The biggest problem we have is not having had a dialog with Mexico. Economic development at the border must take place to stem immigration. This provision in this rule allows for substantive legislation that deals with a better dialog with Mexico. I urge support of this rule.
