Mr. President. earlier this year. I intervened with the Immigration and Naturalization Service on behalf of a Honduran woman and her three children who faced the imminent prospect of deportation. The womans husband benefited from the recent immigration amnesty program. He arrived in the United States sometime before the amnesty programs January 1. 1982. eligibility cutoff date. But his wife followed to join him in September 1982just 9 months too late to qualify for amnesty. Two of their three children were born after her arrival here. making them American citizens. But when this woman was apprehended by the Immigration Service. she was placed in proceedings and deported on March 28 of this year. taking her children with her. Mr. President.
