But I dont support the amendment out of a conviction it is an answer to a real dilemma between both the Colombian and American people. but out of a belief that a military emphasis of this kind carries many counterproductive consequences. There is no track record that this program has been particularly helpful. and some indications that the results have been disadvantageous to the United States. So I would argue that there are better uses for these very scarce resources. And I would suggest again that when we think about realism in world affairs. the test Is effectiveness. Here the effectiveness that the United States has exhibited in compassion for refugees is far more apparent than the tests that might be applied to this particular program based on any past record.
