Mr. Speaker. it is inconceivable but true. A multinational organization. headquartered in another country. is about to rule on whether we here in the United States can establish our own immigration policies. The World Trade Organization has set up a threeperson panel which is hearing the challenge presented by the European Union against our overwhelmingly supported antiCastro law known as HelmsBurton. That law says that anyone who knowingly trafficks in illegally confiscated property which belongs to a U.S. citizen will not be allowed into our borders. Protection of private properties is not only an American cornerstone. it is also international law.
