If we allow the CommunistSandinista government to establish a Cubanstyle regime in our Western Hemisphere. all of Central America including Mexico. could very well fall to the Communists. According to an estimate attributed to H. Eugene Douglas. the former U.S. Coordinator for Refugee Affairs. resettlement costs for these refugees would exceed $40 billion a year. Additionally. an expansionist Communist influence Just south of our U.S. borders would require of the American taxpayer an unacceptable financial and economic burden to fortify and garrison our southern borders. In strategic terms. the expansion of the growing military might of Communist Nicaragua. and the ongoing threat of Cuba would pose a serious land. sea. and air danger to the vital Caribbean region.
