It states that. upon conviction. any alien incarcerated in State or local prisons for drug or other offenses would be transferred to a Federal Bureau of Prisons facility. within 30 days of notification by State or local authorities. This action is reasonable and treats the taxpayers of Florida and other impacted State far more equitably than they have been treated in years past. Local and State taxpayers should not continue to bear the burden of the criminal justice consequences of the Mariel boatlift. The Federal Government decided to admit these individuals and the Federal Government should be responsible for maintaining convicted Mariels and illegal aliens in Federal prison facilities. I urge my colleagues to vote yes on the Bennett amendment.
