Our challenge ahead is to foster and build a new consensus both in Congress and across the country. In forging that new consensus we have to make clear that an enlightened and generous approach to this issue is not only humanitarian. it is in the best interests of the United States and its citizens. These refugees bring with them a vitality and will to succeed that strengthen and expand our own economic base. That means new and better jobs for our domestic work force and ensures that we continue at the vanguard of scientific. cultural. and industrial progress.
