Along those lines, I want to share about one of my constituents who came here as a refugee claimant, was accepted as a refugee, and because his wife and four children are in hiding and being tortured in his home country, he has left and gone back to his home country—I don't want to say which country—because he fears for their lives more than his own life.
He's gone back to his home country even though his brother had his head beaten; the brother was killed for the work that this man did in his country.
For people to say that people who flee persecution may not want to go back to their home country.... I'm a person who fears for my life to go back to my home country. To say that people are just bogus refugee claimants because they go back to their home country is personally hurtful for me. I understand this man's story.
Thank you. I've probably run out of time.
