WHITEHOUSE. FEINGOLD. and CARDINwho have lent their support to this effort. The overly broad laws Congress passed in haste after September 11. 2001. continue to unnecessarily bar legitimate asylum seekers from the sanctuary of the United States. I worked to ensure that the administration has the authority to waive these laws for organizations and individuals. but the administration has been unwilling to exercise this authority of its own accord. Secretary Rice quite rightly pointed out that her government counterpart in South Africa must apply for a waiver of the material support bar in order to enter the United States for an official visit. and that it is an embarrassment.
