I rise in support of H.R. 618. I want to say that this legislation is long overdue. During the consideration of the Immigration Reform Act of last year we did in the House of Representatives act in this capacity. It was in the conference that the House version was dropped. if I remember correctly. The truth of the matter is that for Americas own honor. this is minimal legislation. It has been our policy during the last 6 years that has provoked the mass immigration from El Salvador into the United States. for the first time. We have never registered this volume. this amount of people fleeing from a situation that we have been the main culprits of perpetrating. If we think that countries like Mexico can give hospitality to these fleeing masses. let us look at the situation of the Mexican nationals that are dying in boxcars. as one gentleman brought out.
