Mathieu Boucicot, in the United States on temporary visa, stands in the room he rents, Sunday, May 19, 2002, in Immokalee, Fla.   A new proposal being considered by the Justice Department would allow local and state police to enforce immigration laws.  Bousicot feels police will wind up pursuing workers like him.  "People working in fields picking this country's oranges and tomatoes aren't terrorists, and yet they're the ones who would suffer the consequences for this change in policy," said Bousicot, who fled Haiti after a political coup and works in the tomato fields of southern Florida.  (AP Information; AP Photo/Mike King)
