But we take the position that we will stop the boatloads of people coming from Haiti. load them upon our Coast Guard ships. and carry them back to the terror and the persecution. At one time we said it was a humanitarian position. that we were merely doing this to make certain people didnt drown on the high seas. If you dont want them to drown on the high seas. save them. put them in the boats. and give them the usual treatment with respect to asylum. Let them be interviewed. let them follow the same procedures. that all other refugees follow. But not with the Haitians. We load them into boats and we take them back to the illegal. unlawful. unrecognized military regime that has power in Haiti.
