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.

It seems like just a feel-good no-brainer move that anyone with common sense would say yeah, sure, least we should do. Which puts the rats who opposed it in an even worse light.

So democrats desire a violent invasion of this country and for the invaders to kill innocent Americans, especially White ones.

We knew that.

“The proposed law would require the detention and deportation of illegal aliens” — should have stopped there.

A wall with Mayorkas in command is useless. Be careful what you agree to.

Dems in the Senate will kill the bill and, if, by some miracle they don’t, Biden will veto it and blame Trump for the murder

........they need approximately 22 more votes in the House to over-ride a presidential veto;

AND, they need at least 17 Dems to vote for it in the Senate.

No chance......Yawn!

NEEDS TRUMP to pass.

Kevin McCarthy would have never allowed it to come to the floor.
They want Biden to dare to veto it.

We already have a LAW, they just don’t enforce it!

8 U.S. Code § 1324 - Bringing in and harboring certain aliens

A) Any person who—
(i) knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien;
(ii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;
(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v)
(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts,
shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).
(B) A person who violates subparagraph (A) shall, for each alien in respect to whom such a violation occurs—
(i) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i) or (v)(I) or in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), or (iv) in which the offense was done for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both;
(ii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(ii), (iii), (iv), or (v)(II), be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both;
(iii) in the case of a violation of subparagraph (A)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), or (v) during and in relation to which the person causes serious bodily injury (as defined in section 1365 of title 18) to, or places in jeopardy the life of, any person, be fined under title 18, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both; and....

I don’t understand the need for this law given that Federal law already provides for the detention and deportation of aliens who participate in criminal acts, are a threat to public safety, or violate their visa. We don’t need new laws; we need strict enforcement of the laws that are already on the books. In addition, even if the Laken Riley Act becomes law, it is meaningless as long as we have sanctuary states and cities that protect criminals from the enforcement of federal immigration laws.

If Congress really wants to do something effective, then pass a law that prohibits sanctuary states and cities from directly or indirectly receiving federal funds for highways, transportation, infrastructure, medicare/medicaid, and every other handout.

Hey, the Demoncrats ... I mean Democrats can’t pass any bill that might upset any of their future crop of illegal voters.
