The categories were established by Senator LAUTENBERG in his original amendment in 1989. and there was no way to stop that then. nor would we have perhaps wanted to do anything with that debate. because in 1989 there was a clear history of persecution under the Communist Soviet state apparatus. Happily. I think to all concerned. that apparatus no longer exists. Russia is our friend of f. iends. the one we support with our money and our words and our deeds. That is who we are dealing with here. This is not the Soviet Union. this is Russia and the Ukraine. These are our allies. our friends. How can you possibly call 50.000 of those people refugees? It is impossible to do that. It is a leap of all logic.
