The Cornyn amendment creates harmful barriers for refugees fleeing persecution. In America. we have had a long and proud tradition of providing refuge to people who have faced persecution and oppression in their lands. whose lives are at risk because they stood up for their beliefs. We took in refugees from Cuba and from Vietnam as they fled communism. We have helped people from Somalia and Bosnia and other areas of conflict and oppression. Now we are beginning to help people whose lives are at risk because they helped our troops in Iraq. But often these persecuted refugees have no choice but to cooperate with their oppressors in order to save their families lives and enable their escape. The Cornyn amendment says: If you do that. if you provide what is called material support to these oppressors and terrorist groups. then we are not going to rescue you from the hands of your oppressors. You have to take your chances and hope your oppressors do not persecute you or even kill you or your family.
