I argue that the treatment we have been given them for the last 10 months is not very special in light of the commitment we have made to them for the last 20 years. Fifty years ago this spring. the ship St. Louis carried 930 Jewish refugees from Hitlers Germany. It. too. was refused port in the United States. These refugees were forced to stay In Europe and many of them died from Hitlers persecution. Have we not learned from this tragic mistake? We cannot be silent once again and allow these 1989 immigrants fight for freedom and opportunity in America to perish. I urge you to support Chairman MORRIsON and H.R. 2022.
