The result will be a tremendous. costly and bureaucratic unfunded mandate on State Medicaid Programs. Mr. President. another item in the bill of particulars of unfairness of this immigration bill relates to parolees and their inability to work. I would put this in the specific context of an agreement which the United States had entered into with Cuba. Under that agreement which was intended to avoid another repetition of the mass rafting explosion which we have experienced on several occasions since Fidel Castro came to power in Cuba. the United States now allows 15.000 Cuban immigrants per year to enter the United States. Approximately 10.000 of those who have arrived per year under this agreement have been under the category of parolees. Under this bill. as parolees they will be prohibited from working in most jobs 1 year after they arrive here.
