This money is needed now because of the hostilities between these two countries. I certainly support it. A second part. the major part of this supplemental appropriation. deals with the humanitarian refugee crisis we have on our border. It is not often the United States faces a refugee crisis. Think back in history. The only refugees who come to our shores are usually from nearby countries: Haiti. Cuba. Occasionally. we have refugees coming such as after the Vietnam War. the Hmong people who were our allies in that war. But we are not like most countries in the Middle East. for example. that have a steady stream of refugees. The United States does not engage in refugee crisis alleviation because of our location and geography and our history. Seldom have we been challenged. But today we are challenged.
