On the recordMarch 6, 1997
reports say that record numbers of illegal immigrants keep running across the border, many with backpacks full of heroin and cocaine. To boot, the Immigration and Naturalization Service just granted citizenship to 71,000 criminals, 71,000 criminals. Now, if that is not enough to tax your prison, check this out. For quote unquote ``excellent work,'' the Vice President just gave the Immigration and Naturalization Service the national performance hammer award. For what? For a Border Patrol program known as Ollie, Ollie In Free. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. The Immigration and Naturalization Service does not warrant or deserve awards. They should be getting subpoenas from the Justice Department. I yield back the balance of all this prison space that will be taken up.
