Kennedy once reminded us. "For those whom much is given. much is required". We cannot turn our backs on the people of Haiti. Just as we have embraced other countries during times of repression. we must do the same for Haiti. Not only must we work to restore democracy. but we must act now to insure that innocent individuals are not subjected to this persistent violence and loss of life. I condemn the illconsidered decision to return people to Haiti without the opportunity for immigration hearings. It is an intolerable policy. Let us never forget the immortal words inscribed on the Statue of Liberty: Give me your tired. your poor.
