Somebody will come up and say: Why would you want to resist that? I would not possibly be able to explain it. But I can tell you that it is a mistake and it is a distortion of the Refugee Act. It does something which I think is very troubling. It takes us back to where we were before the Refugee Act and that is to look at certain segments of the world and give them special preferences. That is what you are doing in this situation. special preferences because of pressure from "old Saigon cowboys" and "China hands and other people who just do not want to relinquish their grip. It is an issue we deal with every 12 months.
