The PBS network recently aired a Stornoway Productions documentary. entitled "The Shattered Dream." that details an intricate network of people smugglers who prey on the desire of CubanAmericans to reunify their families. Through the use of hidden surveillance cameras and microphones. the program traced a complicated process in which CubanAmericans pay exorbitant amounts of money to brokers in Miami in exchange for the promise of the delivery of relatives to the United States. This network. apparently operating out of the Cuban Interest Section in Washington. uses phony visas to send the relatives on a circuitous route through Panama and Mexico before being smuggled into the United States. Mr. President trafficking in people through extortion is a serious violation of U.S. laws.
