Miami Beach mayor seeks to bar Cuban refugee influx
By United Press International
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — Fearing a flood of cuban refugees into Miami Beach if they are freed next month from an Atlanta federal prison, the Miami Department "remove the welcome mat and erect roadblocks to keep them out."
Ciment said Tuesday that he wanted police to set up 24-hour roadblocks at every entrance to Miami Beach and have officers question passengers in each car that seeks entry.
Appalled Hispanic and civil-rights leaders called the proposal unconstitutional and vowed to fight Clement if he tried to implement it.
The controversy is over, 1,070 Martiel refugees now in an Atlanta federal prison. U.S. District judge Robert Hodgson gave a hearing on their release Oct. 26.
Ciment said he thought that the court would free all the refugees at the same time. He fears that most of them will head to Miami Beach.
THE ROADBLOCKS, he said,
would repeat an incident in 1980,
when 125,000 Mariel refugees came to Florida in a months-long sealsit.
Ciment said the refugees — 8,000 of whom moved to Miami Beach — tarnished the area's image and spooked a crime wave.
"I will do anything necessary to prevent this from happening again." Ciment said. "I am removing the welcome mat in front of our
But Shoob said he did not understand Ciment's fears because the mayor had already been told there would be no mass release.
"No way. No way. Maybe one or two a month." Shoob said. "... Only those determined by a judge not to be dangerous will be released. I explained this to Ciment. I don't understand why he's saying this. It is not true."
Hispanic leaders blasted Ciment.
"THIS IS THE most appalling and irresponsible statement I've heard by a public official in a long time," said Manny Diaz, vice chairman of the Spanish-American League Against Discrimination.
"The idea of roadblocks is ludicrous and unconstitutional. The mayor is trying to secede from the country, himself dictator of a new country," he said.
