Madam Speaker. I thank the gentleman from Michigan for calling this special order and for his leadership on this important moral issue. Madam Speaker. in the last few days the administrations policy regarding Haitian refugees has gone from bad to worse. On Sunday. the President ordered the Coast Guard to return all Haitians rescued at sea immediately to their country. without the opportunity to apply for political asylum. As a result. individuals who have a justifiable. immediate tear for their lives are no longer receiving political asylum interviews on the Coast Guard cutters or at the United States Naval Base at Guantanamo.
