I saw. on the one hand enormously impressive efforts by the local Cuban community. both in Key West and Miami. to help in the resettlement of their compatriots. They are doing a marvelous job. I met refugees who clearly were fleeing political persecution. I met refugees who were clearly seeking family reunification. I saw families with immense joy at being in the United States after trying to get here for many years. I also met. howeverand this is a matter that concerns mepeople who could be termed "common criminals." I met 17 people who were detained in a Federal correctional institution. and I met others coming directly off boats who said they had been in prison.
