...ones, whether in Cuba or a third country. The newcomers' current state of legal limbo has added to their sense of disorientation. "Mariel was chaos," says a Miami city official. "Many husbands, wives and children were separated. The tragedy is that they cannot be reunited." If the Simpson-Mazzoli bill now pending in Congress passes, that will change. The bill would permit Marielitos, as permanent resident aliens, to bring their families to the U.S. after a three-year waiting period...

Under pressure from civil libertarians however, Simpson and Mazzoli gave up that idea, and the worker ID issue remains unresolved. S. 2222 merely directs the White House to come up with a workable solution within three years. Meanwhile, Chicano organizations worry that the confusion over worker ID will lead some smaller employers to exclude anyone who "looks" Mexican...
