Citizenship and Immigration committee  But it's the unfairness. It's the same with the man who is in sanctuary. I took him in because, again, of this man.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Definitely, writing things down is not quite the same.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, but originally, my part of it—I've been put into their group.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I'm going to start back a little bit earlier, simply to give my history as a definite senior in this group. From 1950 to 1956, I was at Pier 21 helping the port workers. Having been a history teacher...I think it's something people don't realize, how many people came into Pier 21.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, because I had previously drawn a picture.... I was at a Colombian seminar for the Canadian Council for Refugees, where a Colombian person was speaking about the trauma Colombians went through in leaving Colombia. Here I've been in North America—well, my mother's family, since the 1600s in Boston—so I have no background at all in being an immigrant, but at Pier 21 they said, why don't you come up and draw something on the board about your situation.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  In the historical sense--yes.
