It says that despite the policy considerations underlying this law and procedure. the Congress should give preferential status and benefits to selected groups. If we adopt such a precedent. Members of this body soon will have to learn to live by a new rule. There could be hundreds of thousands of such applicants. In addition. your Hispanic constituents will be coming to ask your support for similar treatment for Hispanic refugees. Your black constitutents will be coming to ask your support for a similar preferential treatment for African refugees. Other ethnic groups will be coming. They will provide you with evidence of inhuman persecutions and ask you to be equally compassionate and committed to the needs of these people.
