I have made several speeches here in the Senate on this subject. There is no question in my mind that steps must be taken to require the Justice Department and the administration to conform to the law. I am confident that we must go back to the simple theory. when a refugee comes here. to determine whether he is a political refugee coming seeking freedom and to avoid being persecuted. or whether he is an economic refugee. coming here to enjoy the economic system we have in this country. There is no question about the fact that many criminalsmurderers and othershave come here from Cuba. There is no question that many undesirables have come here from Cubapeople with contagious diseases. including leprosy.
Identified stereotypes
Generalizing that many criminals, murderers, and people with contagious diseases have come from Cuba.
