It undermines the purposes of this bill and it is not In the interests. as far as I am concerned. of the general public where we are trying to get more convictions where somebody commits a crime. And I do not care. if they have committed a crime. we ought to get them convicted and we have the evidence to do it. We have no business excepting an agency. particularly INS. from that. particularly where we have alien smuggling and all kinds of stuff the Immigration Service is having to investigate. I would suggest it is not in the best interest of aliens. legal aliens coming here to have this provision. and those who would be citizens and would make great contributions to this country. it is not in their best interests to allow the criminals in the world to prey on those who are unfortunately in their midst. So I urge a rejection of this amendment. and I yield back the balance of my time.
