The Supreme Court merely said that. if the executive branch of the Government wants to do this under present law. present constitutional law. they have the right to do it. and it refused to protect the Haitians and grant the injunction that was requested on their behalf. Our Government. our present administration. still has a number of options. and they have the leeway and the ability not to proceed and deport the Haitians in Guantanamo back to Haiti. That is their prerogative. Mr. Speaker. tremendous latitude is afforded the executive branch even without legislation from this body in the way they handle refugees. Historically we have never had quite this much controversy. We have never had to wrangle through the courts.
