Alien smuggling is the equivalent of a modern day slave trade. build upon aliens ransomed futures. Our Nation cannot stand for it and the Statue of Liberty does not stand for it. Instead. the way into the United States has been. and must be. built upon the legal immigration system: a system for which we increased the number of family and employment sponsored visas in 1990. Our bill expedites the exclusion of individuals who do not have a credible fear of persecution and who abuse our immigration system by seeking to enter the country with fraudulent documents or no documents. By reducing the abuse in the system. this bill helps ensure that those truly fleeing persecution gain the safe haven that is our Nations birthright. Under this bill. aliens who undergo expedited processing and are found to have a credible fear of persecution will be taken before a special inquiry officer for further proceedings at which they will be granted asylum if they can meet the more stringent well founded fear of persecution.
