As we discuss this issue here in the Senate. hunger strikes continue around the United States in opposition to our policy. The Supreme Court yesterday considered the legality of our policy. Experience has shown that the outcome of this case will have even more influence on whether Haitians attempt the dangerous sea passage than the weather itself. If the Supreme Court overturns the current policy. and President Aristide has not been restored to the Presidency. we will face a new wave of refugees. Third. Haitians are staying at home in part because President Aristide has asked them to. and because President Clinton has committed the United States to a policy of restoring democracy in Haiti.
