SAN BENITO (AP) — More than
500 Central American refugees were
forced Thursday to leave a shelter
that has housed thousands of refu
gees over the past four years and re
port to a nearby Immigration and
Naturalization Service center and an
uncertain fate.
The INS said a decision would be
made individually on whether the
refugees would be deported, placed
in a detention center, or released un
der their own recognizance.
Since the Brownsville Catholic Di
ocese opened the shelter in Decem
ber 1982, it had housed, c lothed and
fed more than 10,000 people, most
of them from El Salvador and Gua
temala. But Thursday morning, vol
unteers at the shelter swept the
floors and cleaned breakfast tables
for the last time.
“I have no idea what’s going to
happen to us now,” Maria Benitez,
45, of El Salvador said as she, her 72-
year-old mother, and five children
prepared to board a bus that would
take them to the INS center in
nearby Harlingen.
Three chartered Valley Transit
Company buses began shuttling the
residents to the Harlingen INS of
fice at 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
Omer Sewell, INS district director
in Harlingen, said he believes the
closing of Casa Roynero is a major
step toward cutting an illegal alien
pipeline from Central America to
the U.S. border.
“Casa Romero is a name that
passes from community to commu
nity in countries like El Salvador, Ni
caragua and Guatemala,” Sewell
said. “People who cross the Rio
Grande at Brownsville are asking di
rections on how to get there.”
Inundated by complaints from
irate neighbors who said that the
shelter was overcrowded and that its
residents were harassing passers-by
in the residential area, city officials
in August asked the church to relo
cate the shelter. But efforts to relo
cate were frustrated. Church offi
cials announced Wednesday that the
shelter had to he closed.

Diocese officials said many people
are concerned that the refugees will
have no place to turn.
Rosemary Smith, the Catholic lay
missionary who helped to open Casa
Romero, said, “1 just hope that the
people of the Valley will open their
hearts and their homes to these peo
ple.”
Officials tout Houston
to attract Democrats
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston of
ficials began putting the nation’s
fourth-largest city on display Thurs
day in hopes of attracting the 1988
Democratic National Convention.
The Site Selection Committee for
the Democrats, which is in the Hous
ton area through Sunday, must de
cide among six cities vying for the
opportunity to host the convention
that will choose the party’s next pres
idential nominee.
A site decision is expected early
next year from among Houston,
New Orleans, Atlanta, Kansas City,
New York and VS^ashington.
At stake is about $67 million that
local officials estimate the Democrats
would pump into the ailing oil-de
pendent Houston economy.
City officials are hoping to lure
the Democrats in 1988 with cash and
free services and are softening party
officials with four days of virtually
non-stop wining and dining.
“You can’t imagine the details in
volved in moving 120 people
through your city for four days,”
says Clintine Cashion, Mayor Kathy
Whitmire’s top assistant. “You have
to think of everything, from how to
get their luggage to tneir hotel, how
to move them from place to place,
making sure they have enough time
to change clothes for events, feeding
them, coming up with menus. There
are just a million details.”
The Democrats could be $250,000
richer after the first event Thursday
night — a S1,000-per-plate fund
raiser hosted by Gov. Mark White.
A key event is a tour of the new
George R. Brown Convention Cen
ter, which is still under construction.
The center is not to be completed
until next year — after the commit
tee makes its decision. The commit
tee’s inability to view a finished con-
. vent ion center is seen as a negative.
“But we believe we’re going to lx*
able to show the work is on schedule
and will be completed in plenty of
time for the convention,” Cashion
said.
