I could just say. you have seen what you go through when you get in this game. I must have pressed some buttons. some old buttons there. That is what you do when you deal with refugees or immigration. There is a spirited defense sent up in every way. I told you what happens. You get into a discussion on this tough issue. and you may get hammered flat with emotion. with guilt. and yes with some very real emotion. I know the Senator from Minnesota is a refugee. He is one of the most delightful men I know. I know that the people that come out of Thailand. the bulk of them. are refugees. I really do know that. I do also know that some are not refugees. I do know that the voluntary agencies do a remarkable job. and I do know some that are duds. That is the way it is.
