This in no way means that I myself or the people of Guam are not in favor of political asylum. but in this instance what has happened is that these snakehead organizations have used the political asylum mechanism in order to benefit their criminal activities. which are well documented in these articles by Brad Wong. Hiroshi Hiyama and Frieda Bush. and to create and to prey on the hopes of these people inside China and then to continue to prey upon them once they are successfully brought into this country. I have introduced legislation for this purpose. to give latitude to INS officers in Guam. and this is possible under the Immigration and Naturalization Act. to carve out special laws and regulations for insular jurisdictions of the United States. I hope that there is widespread support for this. This is an important issue not only for us but it is a good way to stop illegal immigration and to benefit criminal organizations inside China. Madam Speaker. I would like to submit for the RECORD six articles of the Pacific Daily News.
