Mr. Speaker. I have often taken to the floor of this House to speak out against the cruel and mindless Immigration laws we have In this country. the Inexplicable heartlessness with which this family Is being treated Is simply one more example of an immigration system that too often Ignores the pleas of those who have come here seeking asylum from govemment oppression and the opportunity to make a new life.
