That means more tragedy. more suffering and more pain. for the people of El Salvador. Mr. Speaker. 3 weeks ago this House overwhelmingly passed a bill I sponsored that would temporarily halt the deportation of Salvadoran nationals currently in the United States. Similar legislation is now pending before the Senate. Today. in light of the escalated violence. I again call upon the administration to use its discretionary powers. and promptly halt Salvadoran deportations. Failure to provide protection to the war refugees from El Salvadorcould very well mean adding to the death toll. We must act now. Lives are literally in the balance.
