A bill to provide for the protection of Haitian nationals with a well-founded fear of persecution, to provide for the orderly return of those Haitian nationals without such a fear, and to discourage the departure by boat of those Haitians who are unlikely to qualify for refugee status.

Summary

Directs the Attorney General to review refugee status applications for specified Haitian nationals and authorizes the admittance of those Haitians meeting the definition of "refugee" under the Immigration and Nationality Act. (Prohibits entry until such status has been determined.) Prohibits the return to Haiti of Haitian nationals who have been determined to have a well-founded fear of persecution. Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) U.S. policy should not encourage Haitian nationals who are unlikely to qualify for refugee status to come to the United States; and (2) Haitian nationals who cannot establish a well-founded fear of persecution may be returned to Haiti.
