I shall have to say that some people who were trying to flee communism came in that boatlift. but as soon as Castro saw that happening. my colleagues will remember. he went in and seized boats in the harbor and would not let them leave until he loaded them up with his convicted murderers. convicted rapists. and all of the other dregs he had in his prisons. He sent those out to the United States. Mr. President. I know of no time in which any country has had to accept felons convicted of heinous crimes from any other nation. Our immigration law prohibits admission of criminals into the United States. If such persons attempted entry. we sent those people back home. But. of course. as we attempted to do that with the Cuban criminals as we found out the kind of people were forced upon us.
