But I think we have to deal with realities. too. We travel around this world and see onefourth of the world going to bed hungry every night. another onefourth suffering from malnutrition. and half of them would move here tomorrow if they could. I know of no other country that has a more generous quota for immigrants coming into this country. or more willingly accepts refugees. I know what is on the Statue of Liberty. and I know when it was placed there. That is when the West was not settled and we needed more immigrants. But there is a limitation even in this country. We have a limitation that is placed after very careful consideration under the Refugee Act. What we are seeing here in my opinion is an end run around it. Other than just coming to this country. there is also the question of relocation in some of their own countries. Time and time again we are seeing people who are not just political refugees. people who are not oppressed because of dictatorship or political process. but are really economic refugees. There is no way this country of ours can absorb all those persons. I share the views and the concerns of my distinguished friend from Wyoming.
