Before I provide a more detailed report on the subject of today's hearing, let me summarize the major points. First, with respect to criminal aliens in detention, I want to be very clear -- we have contacted our 3 regions, who have contacted our 35 districts, each of whom report that no aliens have been released who are subject to mandatory detention. INS will continue to detain and remove from the U.S., criminal aliens subject to the mandatory detention requirements of the 1996 immigration law. Indeed, the number of criminal aliens we remove has nearly doubled from 28,600 in FY1993 to 56,100 in FY 1998. Despite significant growth in detention space and greater efficiency in removing aliens, INS nevertheless is detaining more people today than current funding allocations will support. INS, working with the Department, will aggressively address this matter.That's the Doris you are inquiring about?Second, with respect to Border Patrol funding, the Administration's commitment to effective border enforcement remains unwavering. With Congressional support, INS doubled the size of the Border Patrol to 8,000 agents since FY 1993, and plans to add another 1,000 this year. The Administration's FY 2000 budget continues support for Border enforcement investing heavily in force-multiplying technology to increase the effectiveness and enhance the safety of our agents. The budget also requests $48 million in construction funding to border infrastructure and facilities to house the sharp increase in agents over the past few years.
Well she went back to a cushy job at the Carniege Endowment as I recall. Like all the Clinton insiders, going for the big bucks.
Typical Toon fantasy that saying something makes it complete. No doubt they did get deportation orders on some. They just never had any follow-up to actually remove them from the country.
