handle is hein.gao/gaobabebu0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BY THE U, S. General Accounting Office Detention Policies Affecting Haitian Nationals WtESTRICTED - Not to be released outside the General Account~ng OC:e except on the basis of specific approval Pby the Office of Congressional Relations. In May 1 981 the Immigration and Naturali- zation Service (INS) began routinely detain- ing excludable aliens (not authorized to enter) as part of the Administration's pro- gram to discourage aliens from illegally entering the United States to work. During the several years preceding this change, excludable aliens who were not considered a security risk or likely to abscond were gen- erally paroled into the United States while waiting for a decision on their claims. The Haitian migration was but a small part of the total migration. However, Haitian nationals were disproportionately affected by the de- tention action--in terms of both the num- bers detained and the length of detention. This report contains information on INS' detention policy with respect to excludable aliens, the process used in selecting deten- tion sites, the physical and health condi- tions of the detention facilities in which Hai- tians were detained, andthe total costto the Federal Government of detention. \,t y.D Srt 2, 2 :GAO/GGD-83-68 JUNE 16, 1983 1cecou S,* a.-- r - -
