Speech #980214260

The bill now says that when a person asks for asylum and is instead detained. the INS must begin the hearings within 45 days and if it does not the bill says the applicant is to be paroled. and after the hearing the bill says the INS must render a decision in 30 days and if it does not then the bill says the asylee is to be paroled. The bill also says that in the case of an appeal that the newly created U.S. Immigration Board must render a decision within 60 days and if it does not (nothing) the bill is silent. That is where my amendment comes in. It answers the question by carrying through the same reason evident in the bill and prescribes the same remedy as the committee.
