We all want to give Haiti back to the Haitians and we hope that happens soon. The problem is that under existing law some have already been cleared to come into the United States. Under the Refugee Authorization Act. theoretically that is supposed to be paid for by the United States. The problem is. as you have heard other speakers say. that is only in theory. We have had a great number of Haitians and other refugee groups come into the United States. come into Florida. for which Florida has paid the price. We pay for those items which the Federal Government should have been paying. What the gentlemans amendment does is anticipate that any under existing law will be allowed to enter into Florida because that is where they come.
