United States v. Zannino. 798 F.2d 544 (1st Cir.. 1986). My proposal effectively applies this Federal law to States so illegal aliens will be held without bail if they are charged with an aggravated felony under State law. Mr. Speaker. throughout Boston and probably in every other urban area across the country. drug dealers are thumbing their noses at the police and opening the equivalent of corner drug stores. These people do not fear the police because they know that if they are arrested they have two options: either post bond. face the criminal charges against them and serve time In prison. or flee the country. A large number of these illegal alien drug dealers have been arrested over and over. only to be released again. According to the Boston Police Drug Control Unit. nearly 1 of 3 drug arrests on cocaine dealing charges have been by illegal aliens. In the past year and a half. the Boston police have arrested well In excess of 500 illegal aliens who were cocaine traffickers and dealers. Mr. Speaker. because these drug dealers know their legal options by not having to stand trial and go to prison simply by leaving the country. they have no reason to give the police any information on their drug distribution hierarchy.
