Mr. President. those with legitimate political asylum claims may actually show up at the hearing. but recent statistics out of New York show that almost 60 percent of those who are released are never heard from again. Mr. President. the evidence is now overwhelming that foreigners have developed a systematic method of entering and staying in the United States that completely circumvents our immigration law. The statistics are alarming. While in 1980. only 500 aliens applied for political asylum. in 1992. that number had increased to over 103.000.
