This would not include those who languished in Castros prisons because they dared to speak up against the Communist regime. or who were jailed because they committed "political" crimes. I am talking about the hardcore criminals who Castro sent to the United States to embarrass us. I want the world to know that America welcomes those refugees who are refugees in the true meaning of the term and as defined by the Refugee Act of 1980Public Law 96212. But we will never make room for hardened criminals or prostitutes in our society while we ask those deserving of our helping hand to wait. The American public opposes resettlement of Castros "undesirables." Our constituents are asking us to insure that we do not allow funds to be used for such purposes. Of course. I do not intend to limit. in any way. the use of Government funds for the purposes of law enforcement functions of detention and deportation of such felons and prostitutes. I trust that the Department of Justice will continue to fulfill such functions as required by law. It is a very simple amendment which I offer here today and I urge my colleagues to support it.

Generalizing that Castro sent 'hardcore criminals' and 'prostitutes' to the US to embarrass the country.
