Finally. when the President signs this bill into law after years and years of struggle. we will have limited the appeals that death row inmates can take and we will have assured that sentences of death in this country will be carried out expeditiously. as the American public wants. Second. we have victim restitution in this law that will be signed by the President. which provides a mandatory requirement on judges to make victims financially whole at the Federal level. We have a criminal alien deportation provision that eases the ability of the United States. without an additional hearing. to deport a person who has completed a prison term who is an alien. But on top of that we have a provision I have worked on for more than 10 years that. when it is signed into law. will mean that when somebody lands at New Yorks airport or any other airport in the country. or a Haitian that in Florida. in Fort Lauderdale. on a beach sets foot on the soil. it means they will no longer automatically be able to tie up themselves in our court system and stay here. There is an expedited exclusion process so that when they claim political asylum. that "Im fearful I will be politically persecuted if Im sent home." whatever. the asylum officers can handle that early without getting all tied up in a court system that often meant and means today that aliens who are here illegally end up disappearing into our society and staying here forever. This bill is extraordinarily important for all of these reasons and a whole host of others. It is positive legislation that I know some think. very minor thoughts I hope. undermines some liberties we have.
