There was an interest here, certainly. There are some who have discriminated against one group or another, who have not spoken out for one group and have spoken out for another. In my career representing the State of Florida and the Senate, I have spoken out for every group looking for honest and fair treatment, whether they be Cuban, whether they be Nicaraguan, or whether they be Haitian. I have done that. I am proud that I have done that. Some of those positions have not been particularly popular in my State. But I have always taken that position. Again, I think the right thing to do is to ask a very simple question: What is in the boy's best interest?
