Speech #1050102887

Mr. Speaker. I rise today in opposition to the language in the conference report accompanying H.R. 2607. the District of Columbia Appropriations Act. that allows for the different and disparate treatment of Haitians. Last year. the Immigration Reform Act would retroactively allow for the wrongful deportation of hundreds of Central AmericansNicaraguans. Guatemalans. and Salvadoransand Haitians. Mr. Speaker. guess who. in the final analysis. was left out of the legislation? Haitians. Thats right. Haitians. This is patently unfair. and although I am not a member of the House International Relations Committee. I will do all that I can to ensure that this situation is rectified when Congress reconvenes for the second session of the 105th Congress.
