And for that. they are now a deprived people there. And to allow them to remain there and to allow them to continue to be persecuted really is not within the scope of the feeling of this country as I have always believed it to be. The problem of Southeast Asian refugees may sound far away to some. but I believe their struggle for freedom is very much a struggle that is the history of our country. For many Southeast Asians. the flight from persecution follows a path something like this: They find a way to escape their own country and make their way to Thailand. virtually always on foot. If they are "lucky." they are allowed to enter a camp where they wait. on the average. 5 years for the chance to have a resettlement interview.
