The potential for abuse in this provision is tremendous. and that statement. ironically. is as well intentioned by this Senator as anything I would do that would appear to be mean spirited. There is not any question about the potential for abuse. If every alien apprehended claims eligibility. the INS would not have sufficient facilities to detain them while their claim was being adjudicated. We would have to parole aliens out of detention while adjudicating their claims. It would be effectively releasing the people you just apprehended. If an illegal alien is released. you may be assured that it is unlikely you will see that illegal person again.
