These individuals are being smuggled into Guam by boat. Most of the aliens come from the China mainland from Fujian Province. but some have sought entry from the Northern Marianas. So far this year. over 800 illegal aliens have been apprehended either in Guam or attempting to reach Guam. Earlier this year I met with the Governor of Guam. He expressed his frustration with the Immigration and Naturalization Service for diverting revenues from Guam to the mainland. The result was that Guam had to assume the costs of incarceration for these aliens. An article in the Pacific Daily News on Sunday May 9 suggested that as many as 2.000 illegal aliens may already be in Guam. Only after the situation became even worse and the national media began to draw attention to what was happening. did the White House become involved. As a result of that involvement. the Administration has finally begun to pay some attention and is beginning to dedicate resources to the interdiction of these aliens.
