The people who have been constantly the scapegoats. the subject of persecution. the subject of harassment with unrelenting pace are some of the Catholic groups. the Ukrainian Catholics. The Evangelicals are harassed constantly. So are the Jews and certain Indochinese. We are asking for a 2year extension of the law that facilitates the designation of refugee status for these people. We are not making permanent law. The committee on which the distinguished Senator from Wyoming sits is the committee that helps shape the decision about the overall number of refugees our country accepts. So I hear what my friend says. but I sharply disagree. This is no time to change law which facilitates the process for historically persecuted groups.
