🚨The U.S. House has passed the Laken Riley Act by a 251-170 vote.

Every single Republican voted to pass it and all 170 votes against it were Democrats.

The proposed law would require the detention and deportation of illegal aliens who have been caught committing crimes.

[Macho MAGA Man]

This goes to show every democrat in the house supports the murder of Laken Riley. It proves they support open borders and never to deport them.

[Tommy Revolts]

You would have to be seriously evil to vote against this.

The proposed law would require the detention and deportation of illegal aliens who have been caught committing crimes.

That's nice, but deportation is just kabuki theater when the deportees can simply walk back over the border with impunity. A border wall is a must. Hopefully Abbott and DeSantis are making enough blue state voters realize that to put some pressure on the Democrats.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Virtually every D in the House is actually a Commie.

[1Old Pro]

Yes, punish them and once they serve their jail time export them

[cross_bearer_02]

Any other country, if you’re caught re-entering the country after being deported, you would be summarily executed.

[Jim Noble]

Isn’t it amazing how good Congress is at coming up with fake solutions to make themselves look good?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Would have been ten million times better if it said…

The proposed law would require the detention and deportation of illegal aliens who have been caught committing crimes.

WAIT! Don’t we already HAVE laws about ILLEGAL aliens? If they are ILLEGAL, then they must be breaking some existing law. So why do we need another useless law?

This is just political theater for November to get the Dems on record that they support murdering Americans.

[grimalkin]

Dims are enemies of the nation. Enemies of all decent things. Enemies of the people. Selfish and treasonous. Deserving of exactly what they give.

[grimalkin]

Oh and let’s not forget the wishy-washy RINOs. They are just as culpable.

[TiGuy22]

What a ridiculous law to even have to write.

[JennysCool]

This is just political theater for November to get the Dems on record that they support murdering Americans.

That's more than "just political theater." That's a step in the right direction, and long overdue.

[RoseofTexas]

This is exactly the evil that we are fighting. Either be through prayer or through the election booth. They’re evil they’re monsters, they’re demons and these are the folks that have their boots on our necks. Sometimes I believe nothing can fix this nation, but a Civil War. I wish Texas would secede from this nation …our people have been poisoned by these evil demons.

[Leaning Right]

This is good news, as far as it goes. But I doubt if it will pass the Senate. And if it does, Potato Head Joe will find a reason to veto it:

“I cannot support this bill. Many good immigrants will be caught up with the few bad ones. Plus I do not want to deport any future Democrat voters.”

[ProudDeplorable]

The mere fact that they’re here is committing a crime. That’s why they are called “illegal” aliens. They should all be deported.

[faithhopecharity]

every single D voted against deporting illegal aliens who commit crimes in USA?

do we need any more reason to terminate the D Occupation of our government once and for all, and restore some sort of sanity and loyalty in WashDC?

[Shady]

There is absolutely no question about that.

[PGR88]

Hard to believe the USA doesn’t already have laws like this on the books.

DC marxists will simply refuse to enforce this law as well.

[Macho MAGA Man]

I agree!

[Chgogal]

My Congressman Moskowitz puts Ilegal migrants ahead of American Citizens.

American Citizens pay Moskowitz's salary and he votes against us. Shame on Obama/Biden and Democrats.
