That is the engine that is driving this bill. not the Chinese. not the Nicaraguans. there should be no mistake about it. We have no business going about granting a special provision of amnesty for about 20 percent of the people of El Salvador in this country. We have a lot of business helping the people and its economy and helping that president of that country and making democracy survive down there. but we have no business breaking our immigration laws. breaching the kind of structure we set up and providing for special relief under very exceptional laws for almost a million Salvadorans to stay here. plus whatever relatives eventually come here and so on. It is wrong. The human rights violations of years ago are not taking place now.
