Our laws are ignored or openly flouted. Our enforcement agencies have been unable to thwart these people. Clearly. new resources and new legislation are needed if we are going to give immigration enforcement agencies the tools they need to do the job. No one is more aware than the people of Florida of the inadequacy of our current laws to deal with the immigration crisis. In 1980. over a period of only 6 months. over 150.000 undocumented Cubans poured onto Floridas shores. And since that time. a steady stream of Haitians and others have entered this country illegally. I receive regular reports from the Coast Guard in Miami of the interdiction of Haitian vessels filled with people lured by boat captains hoping to elude our enforcement agents and work in the United States.
