Mr. Chairman. I would. frankly. be surprised if there had not been any cases of retribution. because. after all. this is not heaven. However. the fact is that I do not oppose anybodys efforts to try to see to it that each and every refugee has an honest choice about where they want to go. but I do think it is softheaded for this Congress or for the American Legion or any other organization in this country to say "Oh. yes. we will accept the system which will in fact bring financial incentives for all of them to come to the United States. and by the way. we will not provide the funds for it. and we will let the local units of government get stuck with having to support them." That is not good.
