Once again we explained it day in and day out. Do they not understand. or do they just pretend not to understand? It is very important for the United States to maintain our right to set our immigration laws. The U.S. Congress will be outraged If this organization goes through with hearing this complaint and believes that it has jurisdiction over who we can or cannot enter into our borders. Through this European Union challenge to HelmsBurton. the World Trade Organization is set to rule on United States Immigration policy. and that is outrageous. The WTO is a multilateral trade forum. but HelmsBurton is not a trade bill. We have asked the European countries as well as Mexico and Canada to join us in our quest. to join us in our struggle. to Join us in our strong desire to help the Cuban people live in a democracy. live in liberty. and enjoy the same rights that they enjoy in those countries and that we enjoy in ours.
