I introduced. in the last Congress. legislation which would provide for the expeditious handlingit was called a summary proceedingof these types of cases at our international airports and seaports. A person presenting himself or herself without documents. or with fraudulent documents. who then claims asylum. would be given an immediate hearing. Under my legislation. they would be given a hearing that instant by specially trained immigration officers at the port of entry. An alien who could not establish a credible claim of asylum would be excluded from admission to the United States. Those with a credible claim of asylum would be given a full asylum hearing at a later date.
