Most have lived there for years. This expenditure would set a terrible precedent. We are talking about "refugee assistance" to build religious schools in developed nations. What would we say to the millions of refugees in the United States? How could we justify building religious schools for French citizens if we dont build them for Vietnamese refugees in the United States? What would we say to thousands of refugees from Central America? This episode is perhaps the best example yet of why CRs are such a terrible way to legislate. Senator INOUYE has admitted he made an "error in judgment." It is precisley this kind of error in judgment of one Member that our deliberative legislative process is supposed to weed out.
