Speech #970223895

I later introduced an amendment in the Senate to relieve the overcrowding at Krome and the threat it posed to the health and safety of south Florida. In any case. it became clear to the people of south Florida that the Federal Government simply did not care about its problems. The irony. of course. Mr. President. is that the State of Florida was powerless to do anything about it. Immigration is a Federal responsibility. The Federal Government had failed to meet its responsibility in the first instance and then continued to fail to meet its responsibility. For those of us who represent Florida here in the Congress. it was a time of tremendous frustration.
