They should not put the gentlewoman from Florida in the position of standing up here asking for a no vote on the rule for the District of Columbia. when they know how desperate the gentlewoman from the District of Columbia is. As a matter of fact. if they had any decency at all. they would pull this rule from the floor and go back and put the Haitians in. These Haitians were promised. I have got letters here from Haitians whose parents were killed right before their eyes. They are seeking asylum because they were under political massacre from the Haitians down there. And my colleagues would stand here and allow this situation to develop. This is unconscionable.
