Speech #1020080249

Justice Department has proposed bestowing upon Miranda and a handful of other drug kingpins with ties to former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega and the Medellin drug cartel. If these confessed drug smugglers. dealers. and money launderers want to stay in the United States they should spend their time in Federal penitentiaries. not on the streets. Yet the Justice Departments policies will turn a number of them loose on the streets again. and will even give them preferential Immigration treatment over the millions of hardworkIng. lawabiding foreigners who seekand are deniedadmission to the United States each year. I would like to share with my colleagues an article from the Washington Post by Michael Isikoff describing the sordid details of the Justice Departments proposed special deals for these admitted criminals. as well as the text of a letter a number of my colleagues and I will send to INS Commissioner Gene McNary protesting preferential treatment for aliens who break our laws and then seek a haven in the United States.
