Mr. Chairman. I rise in strong support of the provision of H.R. 3810 that would suspend the deportation of Salvadoran and Nicaraguan nationals from the United States that is contained in this bill. This provision would establish an appropriate and humanitarian U.S. response to conditions of violence in these two countries. It would not give these individuals the legal right to remain here permanently. but would ensure that they will not be deported to areas where the general level of violence creates a potential risk to every individuals safety. The violence in Central America has many causes. The extended voluntary departure provision of H.R. 3810 does not try to blame the violence on any particular force. faction. or government.
