We have a backlog approaching 200.000 cases for people who have claims for asylum. Let us let these cases go forward quickly so we can see who really needs it and who does not and let us get those who do not have a valid claim out of the country. But remember. we have refugees coming into this country all the time. We have seen the recent Chinese who were smuggled in this country. But the fact remains. less than 1 percent of the refugees worldwide are admitted into the United States. That is the truth. and we should make sure we color our debate with the truth about immigrants. Let us distinguish immigrants from immigration policy. Let us go after bad immigration policy. Let us make sure we protect people who are immigrants who try to come into this country for valid reasons. ii 1210
