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 the U.S. law back to the ReaganBush policy. which was the law of the land for many years and which hardly resulted in our Nation being overrun by hordes of asylum seekers. Mr. Speaker. 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 policy. This provision is supported by the Family Research Council. the National Right to life Committee. various churches and prolife groups.
