Unfortunately. President Clinton changed the policy when he took office in the belief that fear of forced abortion or sterilization does not merit asylum in this country. H.R. 1561 would change U.S. law back to the ReaganBush policy that was the law of the land for years and which hardly resulted in our Nation being overrun by hordes of asylum seekers. The House will next week consider legislation to crack down on illegal immigrants. I am the first to say that illegal immigrants who have no grounds for asylum must be sent away. But it is wrong to make an example of these Chinese men and women who fear coercive population policies. This provision is supported by the Family Research Council. and various churches.
