To hold hardened criminals in a facility with a simple barbed wire fence as the only deterrent to escape is more than a menace to the community. The continuing instances of Krome escapes are instilling fear in the people who live around the center. And. the growing manhunts are a burden to Dade County police. Florida highway troopers. and other law enforcement officials. Mr. President. today I am calling on Attorney General Meese to close down Krome North and to immediately delegate special border patrol "REACT" teams to the facility until the felons can be removed. Such action is necessary to protect the people of south Florida. Their security is my chief concern.
