I think we should point out. Mr. Speaker. and be very honest about this issue. that if we send back thousands of Salvadoran refugees to this country. then we should be prepared as a nation. and I am not prepared to do so. to increase the level of foreign aid going to that country. I would prefer to wait 2 or 3 years to give those people time to work out getting back in better economic conditions. What is even more important is the fact that by sending them back down. we would be very unwise in doing so. because they might form a group of recruits. at least in some instances. for the guerrillas as a result of the great unemployment that would be caused.
