Mr. Speaker. the Mariel excludables are on their way home. Hats off to the Department of State and other agencies for ridding our country of those undesirables. As all of you know. Castro emptied out many of his jails and mental institutions and sent them to the United States disguised as Cuban immigrants. In our national innocence and desire to help. we failed to realize that Castro would employ such deception against this Nation. After arriving in Florida. many of the outcasts from Cuba committed serious crimes in the States where they lived. The 2.746 Cubans determined to be excludable because of their crimes began their return to Cuba on February 21.
