CLINTON SAYS U.S. WILL CONTINUE BAN ON HAITIAN EXODUS
“Saying that he feared a mass exodus of Haitians unless he acted, President-elect Bill Clinton announced today that he would at least temporarily abandon a campaign pledge and would continue the Bush Administration's policy of forcibly returning Haitians who try to emigrate to the United States.”
…“Mr. Clinton said that Haitians who fled by boat would be intercepted and returned to the island.”
