The response to their efforts has been tre. mendous. and some 25.000 people have signed it already. Yesterday. some of the people who put together "Floridians Speak to Washington" came to Washington. and visited wih me and my colleague Senator HAWKINS. They also visited with key officials in the White House. the Justice Department. the Immigration and Naturalization Service. and the Congress. They came with a simple message. a message which said: Miami is an example of what can happen to a community confronted with uncontrolled immigration. and with organized drug trafficking. We need help from Washington to make the situation in Miami better. And equally important. we want to help Washington and the rest of the country make sure that the federal government has the policies and resources in place to prevent situations like the one Miami has experienced from our occurring again in the future. We want to help in any way we can to put effective immigration laws on the books. and to cut off the drug smuggling which has helped drive up the crime in Miami. And there are 26.000 more of us in Miami who want to help. too. Mr.
