I just asked one of the witnesses that was brought in who used to be in charge of Haiti University... he thought that the policy that the United States has of turning back Haitians and accepting Cubans was a fair policy. And he quickly and unequivocally said that he thought that that policy should change and it shows absolute discrimination against the Haitian people and that that is something we should be moving in a complete bipartisan manner to make sure that we take care of those individuals, particularly now because of the fact that our hands are virtually tied into what is taking place in Haiti currently. We need to talk about the security of the people that are on this little island called Haiti, 8 million people. What is going to happen to them?
