Session #100 · 1987–89

Speech #1000014900

The point in 1987 is that if we do not do enough. if we stand back. if we Jerk the rug out from beneath our friends. the freedom fighters of Nicaragua. we will have exactly the situation. one day soon. wherein and whereby the people of Nicaragua. the people of Central America. will flee from Communist tyranny. They will not need any boats. They will just walk north. and they will walk over our borders with impunity. because there is not enough enforcement of security or immigration laws even remotely possible to stem that tide of people who will flow over our borders. There are 100 million people who live between our southern borders and Panama. and they are not going to stay there if. as. and when communism takes over. They will walk north.
