Mr. Chairman. I am in strong support of H.R. 3844. the Haitian Refugee Protection Act. I would like to begin by recognizing my colleagues. Messrs. RANGEL and MAZZOLI. for the unyielding commitment and dedication that has given us the opportunity to act on a bill that offers thousands of Haitian refugees protection from the brutal repression that plagues the island of Haiti. But it Is a sad day when Congress has to come to the floor to prevent an American President from returning innocent victims back to a country ruled through violence and repression. Unfortunately. the Bush administration has left Congress with no choice but to act on this legislation.
