Why are we taking that position? Why do we make that interpretation? We did not bother to interpret the flight of the Hungarian refugees. the freedom fighters we called them. freedom fighters when the Soviet Union invaded Hungary. We brought in 61.826 people from Hungary. 61.000. not 14.000. but 61.000. almost 62.000 people who were brought in from Hungary. We did not interview each one and say. "Are you fleeing the Soviet tanks and the terror. or are you coming here just to get a better job?" We did not interview each of those people and say. "Are you in some way connected with politics which would. therefore. define you as a target of the Soviet invading force or the Hungarian Communist Party?" We did not make that distinction.
