I urge passage of the rule so that we may move on to the debate of this legislation. Mr. Speaker. for over 4 years I have been involved with this issue. I have talked with literally scores of Salvadoran and Nicaraguan refugees. Nearly every single one of these people have told me that the reason they are in the United States is that they are afraid to return to their homeland. And I believe them. If I didnt believe them. I would not be here today debating this bill. The fact remains that there are brutal wars going on in both El Salvador and Nicaragua.
