We do not care. We have a lawthat none of us ever saw. none of us ever debated. none of us ever spent time onthat allows for your summary exclusion. You are out." Fidel Castros daughter is another recent example of a refugee who came here using a disguise and phony Spanish passport to seek asylum. She came through Spain. Under the provisions of this bill. she might have been turned away at the border after a summary interview by a lowlevel immigration officer. We all know that there are political reasons why Fidel Castros daughter should be granted asylum. Under the provisions of the conference report before us. slipped into the bill in the middle of the night. are barriers that could make that impossible. I yield myself 2 more minutes. In my "Dear Colleague" letter on my proposed amendment to these sections in the immigration bill and In the additional views I filed with the committee report on the immigration bill I also recall victims of the Holocaust and their use of false identification provided by the brave diplomats Raoul Wallenberg and Chiune Sugihara during World War II. Think of Oskar Schindler. think of "Schindlers List." These are the kind of things that we need to consider before adopting this conference report. My concern is not to defend alien smuggling or false documentation or terrorists. but to acknowledge that there are some circumstances and oppressive regimes in the world where. if you are going to escape. you may well need to rely on false papers.
