PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- Sen. Arlen Specter said he wants to increase the number of illegal immigrants deported after being convicted of crime.

Pennsylvania's senior senator toured the Allegheny County jail Tuesday. The appearance was one of a series of stops the Republican is making at state and county prisons to address the financial burden of housing illegal immigrants who are convicted of crimes.

Specter said government statistics show these immigrants have a high rate of repeat offenses.

A 2006 Department of Homeland Security report found that substantial numbers of criminals who are in this country illegally are released from custody instead of being deported.

Specter said this creates a threat to public safety.

"We may have to find legislation to stop a situation where after they are in federal detention after they finish serving their sentences to be released back to the streets because of a threat to public safety," Specter said.

Mr. Specter, DEPORT THEM ALL! They are all lawbreaker.

Gee Senator GOOD IDEA! Oh and while you're at it how you going to keep them from coming back if you gut the 3 billion from the bill you passed to building the fence. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

SHOW ME QUIT TALKING.

Even better idea deport Specter!

Maybe Spector is finally picking up on something...DUH



I wish some of the Dems would, that Obama is dumb as a box of rocks,
I don't understand why the people don't hit the demacrates heavy over this stuff when they go home....or why they are not hitting the Dems at all....maybe we need to work on them harder, they don't seem to be getting enough attention!!

Specter is a RHINO. He supported the McCain-Kennedy Shamnesty bill. There is NO way I'd vote for him again!
