Speaker. I have been listening with great interest to the comments of the gentleman from New York and I really appreciate the fact that the gentleman has brought this very important issue to the forefront. not only to share with our colleagues. but certainly with the general public concerning the people of Haiti. I think it is a shame that there seems to be some kind of an exception made as far as our policy is concerned where we are not giving the same opportunities to those Haitians who should be considered as refugees. to be given the same opportunity as you would refugees coming from other countries of the world. I wanted to ask my friend. the gentleman from New York. about the refugees coming out of Cuba. They are the same general area. and yet we seem to be giving greater treatment to the refugees coming out of Cuba than we are those coming out of Haiti. I would ask my friend if he could comment on that.
