In the year following the massive influx of Cubans to Dade County. serious crimes increased by 23.1 percent. Of course. the people of Dade County are expected to pay the bill for over 75 percent of the cost of this crime epidemicas well as endure an excessively high crime rate in their formerly safe and solid community. I believe that this is blatantly unfair. and my amendment seeks to correct this situation in the event of any future immigration emergencies. This amendment provides a range of benefits to aliens who arrive in the United States as a result of the policy of a foreign government to encourage emigration to the United States in violation of U.S. immigration laws. In other words. these aliens are here as a result of a failure of U.S. foreign policy. The benefits in the amendment are designed primarily to help an alien adjust smoothly and quickly to American society so that they can contribute to the local economy and social environment.
