Chairman. I yield myself 5 minutes. Mr. Chairman. I thought we had our quota of Florida amendments today. but apparently not. This is a particularly inappropriate amendment. The amendment really is not limited to drug offenders. but is related to all who do not possess immigrant visas in this country and there may be 10.000 to 20.000 such persons. That is the estimate as to the number of aliens who have violated State law and are incarcerated in State or local jails. Now. with this bill. we will expect to see a lot more people imprisoned in the Federal system.
