If we do not authorize it. I have a sneaking suspicion that in the same fashion that the Treasury Department has given up the $5 billion and the $30 billion. they will go ahead and take the $40 billion while the taxpayers sit by helpless while this raid on the Treasury goes on. So this warped sense of values. this meanness toward the average American has now extended into foreign policy. and we are not willing to treat all political refugees the same. Political refugees have always been welcomed. but not the Haitians. The Haitians. every time they are in trouble. have difficulty in having the same standards applied to them. For years the Government of the United States has insisted that anybody who comes fleeing from Haiti automatically is trying to take advantage of a better economic situation in this country. they are looking for an opportunity for employment. they are looking for an opportunity to increase their income. That has been the policy for years. Basically it has gone unchallenged. and it has prevailed. But now we have a clear situation where we have to label the people who are fleeing guns and bombs. the people who are fleeing an illegal. criminal government made up of soldiers who were not elected by anybody. made up of soldiers who deposed the President who had been elected by 70 percent of the voters. they are clearly political refugees when they are fleeing bombs and guns. People cannot sleep in their homes at night. They say they go out in the fields and in the hills because they are afraid that during the night while they are sleeping the soldiers will come.
