Mr. President. earlier this week 176 Haitians landed on the shores of Florida bringing to 19.307 the number who have arrived since last October. The processing center where Haitians and other aliens are sent to await their deportation hearings is an old missle site on the edge of the Everglades called Krome North. The design capacity of the site is 524. and I learned this morning that there are presently 1.068 at the facility. The overcrowding at Krome has created serious health problems. Malfunctioning water and sewer systems have resulted in extremely unsanitary conditions and are a public health hazard to the Haitian population. the staff. as well as to the general south Florida community.
