No taxpayer wants to get stuck with the tab for the upkeep of criminals who come here to prey on Americans. If this bill provided simply for the detention of criminals. there would be no controversy. If this bill provided simply for the deportation of violent felons. there would be no debate. Existing law already provides for this. In fact. criminals are detained and deported every day. But this bill provides nearsummary deportation of people without so much as a hearing to determine whether the individual is a legitimate refugee. that is someone who has fled his or her homeland because of a well founded fear of persecution. This is something that should be of profound concern to each of us. Many of our families came here fleeing persecution and extermination.
