Specter Presses Criminal Alien Deportation Bill

Carolyn Hileman - The Voice | April 11, 2008 

A proposal now introduced in the US House of Representatives would compel foreign nations to take back foreign nationals deported from the United States or face a mandatory denial of US visas to citizens of those countries as well as reductions or elimination of US foreign aid to those countries, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), who first introduced the bill in the Senate, announced Thursday. Reps. Mike Castle (R-Del.) and Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), revealed the House companion bill to Specter’s Accountability in Immigration Repatriation Act, introduced March 5. The number of illegal immigrants in the United States have increased about 3 million to around 11.6 million people since 2000, Castle noted. US authorities have detained thousands of illegal aliens with criminal records, but they have been forced to release more than 18,000 because their home nations refuse to accept their return.
