But I think it was very interesting what my friend from Illinois said. What he says is exactly right. because he is saying the persons benefiting from this amendment are looking for and receiving a "ticket to the United States." A ticket to be used at any time. This is not about having a "ticket to the United States." because that is what the Refugee Act was all about. It is about giving the precious right of a refuge. or sanctuary. if you will. that follows. to persons who are fleeing persecution. It is not about providing insurance policies or alternates or tickets to the United States.
