It seems very inconsistent that we would now turn our backs on our neighbors in Haiti. who are undoubtedly facing severe reprisalspossibly even deathupon their forced return. We know that already the Haitians who were sent back have been put through the intimidating process of being fingerprinted. We can only pray that they will be spared from the terrible fate that others have no doubt faced. Mr. Speaker. let us reclaim the role of the United States as a fair. compassionate haven of democracy. I urge my colleagues to support Mr. RANGELS initiative and to heir us halt these inhumane deportations immediately. Mr. Speaker. let me thank the gentleman from New York for taking this special order.
