Madam President. indeed. there is great confusion in the land sometimes between political refugees. refugees under the United Nations and United States. and economic refugees. But remember that a political rufugee in every other country of the world and all other applicants throughout the world must establish a wellfounded fear of political persecution. if you will. on a casebycase basis. That is all the Senator from Wyoming is saying. Nothing more. Do not read much more into it. This you can call an assertion or a presumption or whatever. but it means that simply by being a member of one of these groupsthey have added enough groups to make it more palatablethen you are automatically presumed to be a refugee. even if you have no fear of political persecution. Hear that. You may live in a community in the former Soviet Union where you have no fear.
