I even suspect that if that island had a population of whites like Granada did. we would be there with a military force. We draw our distinctions from this administration on the basis of what they can do for us. whether we have a national security interest there. I heard the other day that they are going to say next to us. "It is okay. we will return them back. and we will determine the political refugees there on the island after we take them back." About 1 in 4 right now can actually qualify in Guantanamo Bay for political refugee status. The estimates we have from the reporters on the island itself are that 25 percent figure. when you get the Haitians back on the island. drops to 1 percent at best. the highest mark. 99 percent will not be admitted. 99 percent will be denied relief. and the hypocrisy of our policy of finding national interest when it suits our needs and denying it when it does not meet the political needs of the White House because of a county in Florida that is important in the fall election is probably one of the things about the policy that troubles me the most.
