I am sure. that a discriminatory policy exists toward Salvadoran applications. and that is simply not borne out by the facts. Mr. Chairman. the United States is not the last safe haven for Salvadorans and Nicaraguans. As we know. not all parts of El Salvador are unsafe and Honduras provides safe refugee camps open to all Salvadorans. In addition. almost all Salvadorans come to the United States by land route. In doing so. they must cross at least two borders. Mexico and Guatelmala. Mexico is also a safe haven for Salvadorans. and the United - Nations high commissioner for refugees has established a presence in both Honduras and in Mexico to take care of these people. Mr. Chairman.
