In 1989 I was not here. In 1994 I am here. You are using precious numbers that are given to a country that is our friend. as far as I knowunless I am missing somethingand using a number of someone that preciously needs to be determined as a refugee on a casebycase basis. And we have effectively turned our back on casebycase designation. turned our back on the Refugee Act of 1980. and gone into a presumptive status based on nothing more than an assertion. I think that is wrong. I think we should have a rollcall vote. I think the vote will be 85 to 15. and I think we will move on. But there will be something on the RECORD to show that this is not right. it is not sense. and it takes away precious numbers from pathetic. truly pathetic people. not on a basis of a presumption of refugee status but a hard. gut. sinewtough. casebycase real knowledge that they are refugees. We use 150.000numbers. and 50.000 of them go here on a presumption. It is wrong.
