On the recordApril 14, 1994
there is a huge gap between the fact and the fiction of the Clinton administration. It is obvious in Whitewater, but I want to take today's time to talk about fact and fiction in crime. There is a recent report that the Immigration and Naturalization Service will no longer fingerprint suspicious immigrants, suspicious foreigners, because they lack $1 million. Last year, they found 9,000 people who were either convicted felons, potential terrorists, or otherwise suspicious who were barred from the United States, 9,000. In the middle of all the posturing, all the public relations, all the effort to say the right words because of the right focus groups, because of the right polling, what we discover is that in fact, this administration is not spending $1 million to block terrorists and felons from coming to America. I am going to ask the Committee on Appropriations to reprogram $1 million to allow us to continue to fingerprint suspicious immigrants, but it is one more example of the gap between fact and fiction in the Clinton administration.
