Speaker. let us not forget that our great country has always provided a sanctuary for individuals seeking refuge from oppressive regimes. It is the responsibility of this country on its 200th anniversary to honor its commitment to guarantee democracy and freedom for all people. Given the political climate and civil unrest that exist in Haiti today. the United States should increase the number of Haitian refugees permitted to emigrate to this country. Because of the violence inflicted on Haitian citizens attempting to participate in a democratic process. the United States has no alternative other than to open its doors to Haitian refugees seeking political asylum. Further. this country should grant a temporary stay of deportation to illegal Haitian aliens until the political climate in Haiti improves.
