Jeb Bush pushed t plea for Haitian releaseipri MIAMI (AP) — A con gresswoman pressed Gov. Jeb Bush on Wednesday to ask his brother, the president, to order the release of 200 Haitian immigrants detained in Florida after they jumped off a freighter and waded ashore. The Republican governor was confronted during a cam paign stop by Rep Carrie Meek, D-Fla., who said the Haitians should be treated like Cuban immigrants. “All you have to do is call — the wet foot-dry foot policy would take effect,” Meek said. Normally, Cuban immi grants are allowed to remain in the United States if they reach land^ while those intercepted at sea are returned. The governor said he agrees Haitian immigrants should be released ' until their asylum request is heard, like immigrants from other countries. “Haitians should be treated in the same fashion that Jamaicans, people from the Bahamas, peo ple from any country in the world,” Bush said.

White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said the Haitians were being treated fairly and humanely and that the president would not intervene. “The Immigration and Naturalization Service will apply the law and make the proper judgments,” Fleischer said. The 50-foot wooden freighter carrying 21 1 Haitians and three Dominicans ran aground Tuesday on a stretch of beach near a road south of downtown Miami. Six Haitian nationals were charged with illegal smuggling in the case. The Haitian immigrants included 150 men, 35 women and 26 juveniles, INS spokes woman Barbara Gonzalez said. One of the minors was hospital ized for dehydration. Gonzalez declined to say whether any of the immigrants had asked for asylum. The immigrants’ detention sparked protests by Haitian- Americans who said U.S. laws discriminate by favoring other immigrants — particularly Cubans.
