Mr. President. I am introducing legislation today that will make it clear that the United States has reached the end of its rope concerning the Cuban Governments refusal to take back the criminals it thrust upon this country during the Mariel boatlift. The Immigration and Naturalization Service reports that there are over 6.000 Cubans in this country who are excludable under our immigration laws. These criminals are not petty criminals. They are. for the most part. hardened. violent criminals who have perpetrated some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. They are a threat to the safety and wellbeing of our local communities and they should be returned to Cuba.
Identified stereotypes
Generalization that Cubans from the Mariel boatlift are hardened, violent criminals.
