I think in this case if we went for the ideal. we would be missing the mark because. as I said yesterday. in the course of general debate. we have to keep our eye on the sparrow. and the sparrow here is the Haitians who are at Guantanamo as of February 5. It is for them that we are trying to work our judgment. trying to protect them against being forcibly repatriated to Haiti. So. Mr. Chairman. I urge the committee to support both the Subcommittee on Immigration. which I am honored to chair. and the full Committee on the Judiciary. in which the gentlemans amendment was offered and defeated. I hope that the committee will defeat the amendment and move forward with the bill as it is constituted today.
