Visas revisited

Matthew Hoy
By Matthew Hoy on July 26, 2002

I neglected to address the issue of refugees when I talked about my inclination to bar people from Arab nations from coming to the United States on student or tourist visas. I think that we should be increasing the number of people we allow into the United States as refugees from those countries.

People genuinely seeking freedom (refugees go through a more rigorous screening process than those seeking tourist or student visas) should be able to find it in the United States. I also think that refugees can become some of our best citizens -- they know better the worth of the freedom that too many native-born Americans take for granted.
