Speech #970074428

I would like to point out as a fellow member of the subcommittee actively involved with the hearings on this that the responsibility of the Coast Guard has been expanded by the stated intention of this administration since such time as we had hearings. I think it is important in this particular aspect to reexamine what this is going to do to our Coast Guard budget. We are right now in this country spending tens of millions of dollars to support and to process and to attempt to deport the illegal aliens that have come into just south Florida. With interdiction at sea. turning these people around before they get into the territorial waters of the United States. in my opinion will in itself come out with a great benefit in dollars to this country. dollars saved from having to care for these people once they reach our shores illegally. I think this interdiction at sea is going to be of greater expense to the Coast Guard.
