Excerpt from Terrorism, Asylum Issues, and U. S. Immigration Policy: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Immigration and Refugee Affairs of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session
Determining a standard for threshold determinations is one of the most important aspects of designing such a system, and we look forward to working with the Subcommittee on this issue. The credible fear interview provided in S. 667 is similar to the inter views presently conducted in asylum prescreening offices. Under this program, approximately detained aliens have been inter viewed. Thirty-two percent of those have been found to have a cred ible fear of persecution and have been recommended for parole. Sixty-eight percent have been found not to have a credible fear and have not been recommended for parole.
The proposed increase in penalties under S. 667 for alien smug gling from 5 to 10 years would greatly enhance the deterrent effect of alien smuggling prosecutions. The United States is facing a major problem with respect to alien smuggling by organized crime syndicates, and current sentencing are too lenient.
