INS Chief Admits: I'm Proud of Elian Raid Hundreds of citizens of "Little Havana" were gassed and beaten. An unarmed bodyguard for Elian's Miami relatives was thrust to the ground with a shotgun pointed at his head, his life threatened. Thirty well-armed government agents tore a six-year old boy from the arms of a family he loved and thrust him into the waiting arms of a Communist dictator. This, according to the testimony of the man who presided over it all, was the "proudest moment" of his life.Robert Wallis, the former head of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, testified to this fact in Judicial Watch's case on behalf of former INS agent Rick Ramirez. He also confirmed Mr. Ramirez's contention that anti-Cuban, anti-Hispanic bigotry was rampant in the Miami INS office. "Given its shameful performance in protecting our borders, perhaps we should not be shocked that the INS would consider a victory for Communist Cuba a victory for the agency," said JW President Tom Fitton. Ironically, it was the Cuban-American community's reaction to the Elian raid by the Clinton-Gore Administration that put President George W. Bush over the top during Florida's close presidential contest. Yet, instead of honoring Judicial Watch's repeated requests for investigation, the Bush Administration recently rewarded Wallis with a promotion to Regional INS Director.
