I agree that many Haitians face political persecution in the wake of the illegal September 30. 1991. coup. As the ranking Republican member of the Foreign Affairs Committees Subcommittee on Western Hemisphere Affairs. I have heard eloquent testimony on the terrible repression since President Aristide was overthrown in a military coup. The State Departments own human rights report discusses these violations in detail. But that is not the issue before us today. The question today is whether Haitians who do not have a credible claim to refugee status and have been repatriated to Haiti face reprisals. And the answer to that question. according to all evidence. Is "No." Some have criticized the State Departments repatriate monitoring system.
