I would like to see our Nation not set any more precedents of the kind that we have set in the case of the HIVpositive Haitians. we have set a precedent in the case of the Coast Guard boats being used to keep people into the country. We have set that precedent. Nowhere else in the world have people been kept into their country because they were felt that they might try to get out to seek asylum and they might create problems for a nation. That is brand new. The recent Supreme Court ruling upheld that action by our Government.
