People who live in Chicago. who live in Los Angeles. It is more dangerous. statistically. in those areas than in El Salvador. This throws the whole immigration bill out the window. This throws immigration law out the window. This throws the Refugee Act of 1980 out the window. We decided in 1980 we should not have extended voluntary departure on a group basis. we should have it on an individual basis. We adopted the international definition of refugee and that is what is applied. That is what should be done. But no. you are going to make a total exception for El Salvadorans and Nicaraguans. The question is are they economic refugees? The gentleman from Arizona . I would like to yield to him for a second to mention something that he observed when he was down there.
