Madam President. as we discuss farreaching immigration reform. I think it behooves us to try to make our immigration laws as just and as fair as absolutely possible. If there are terrible injustices going on. we should definitely make use of this rare opportunitya fundamental reform effort on the floor of the U.S. Senate. going on nowmake use of this opportunity to correct those injustices. Madam President. there is a provision in current immigration practicenot in law but in practicethat must. in my opinion. in the interests of justice. be changed. There are women in repressive countries who are forced to undergo coerced abortions and sterilizations. Until 1994. these women were offered asylum under the same standard as others fleeing persecutions.
