Mr. President. the news this week of the tragic drowning of 33 Haitian refugees near Miami has shocked the conscience of millions of Americans. and underscored once again the difficult legal. moral. and diplomatic problems our country faces in dealing with refugee and migration flows from Haiti and the Caribbean. But what troubles me most are reports that our Government is not seriously looking for the smugglers and the vessel responsible for dropping these victims and their frail craft into the coastal waters of Florida before dawn on Monday. I believe this tragedy should call forth a prompt and fullscale investigation by our Government to apprehend and bring to justice all those responsible for these deaths.
