There was no persecution involved in that situation. So where we have had situations like in Haiti. we have been very. very distinct. and common. and ordinary in our practice and treated everybody the same. We have made the laws work of the Refugee Act. and that is what is so important. make the laws and the Refugee Act that are on our books today equal and fair and work where possible. which is 90 percent of the time. and send back those people to the countries they came from who are economic refugees and only keep those who are reasonably in fear of persecution. That is only going to work. Otherwise. everybody will come over here who has an economic claim from every country where there is some war or disturbance.
