Chief of the Police Major General Jose Aníbal Sanz Jiminián believes it is "very difficult" to regenerate the Dominicans that are deported from the United States after serving time for crimes committed there. The chief of the police explained that most of the persons who have been booked for committing crimes in recent years have returned recently deported from the States. He said he hopes that the deported Dominicans reconsider their lives and now that they are home adopt new lifestyles and livelihood. He explained that the deported persons are entered into police records since their arrival to the airports, and then accompanied by Secret Service agents to their domiciles. Subsequently, he said these individuals continue under Police surveillance. President Fernández in a meeting with President Clinton in Washington, D. C. last week requested the assistance of the U.S. government in dealing with this problem. The Dominicans are deported following a new migration bill passed by the U.S. Congress.
