Madam President. section 303(e) broadens the class of criminal aliens subject to special expedited deportation procedures and eliminates all judicial review. Every Member of this body is willing to take every reasonable step to punish criminal aliens and deport them from the United States. But the Justice Department reports that this provision is a step backward in our fight against crime. It disrupts strong provisions against criminal aliens enacted in last years crime bill and only recently implemented through regulation. It ties the Attorney Generals hands in obtaining convictions against criminal aliens. And it eliminates all judicial review in these cases--a major departure from fundamental principles of due process.
