Donald Trump may be thousands of miles from Washington on the Texas-Mexico border, but on Capitol Hill he's center stage in the fight over illegal immigration.
The bill, which is formally called the "Enforce the Law for Sanctuary Cities Act," would block states and cities from receiving federal law enforcement funding if they have so-called “sanctuary city” practices in place, blocking the enforcement of certain federal immigration laws. It passed today in the House with overwhelming Republican support in a 241-179 vote, with only six Democrats joining the majority.
Democrats have pejoratively labeled the legislation “The Donald Trump Act,” tying the proposal to the volatile presidential candidate and his controversial remarks about Mexican immigrants.
President Obama has vowed to veto the bill.

PING
He isn’t even president yet, and is getting bills to the floor. Love it. Of course, zero will veto it - I loathe this POS.
Obama vows to veto a law that requires enforcement of federal law. What part of the oath of office is that in?
It is a start. Fight Obama to the bitter end passing the law with or without his signature, Congress & will see if you get to keep your jobs!
Our national leaders ????
They are being put to shame
Again Trump controls the real estate of their minds
Isn’t it amazing how cavalier democrats are with thousands of American lives and are willing to get thousands of people killed for there pet projects?
In 2005 the House passed a good enforcement bill that would have helped to stem the tide.
The reactionary parades of illegals in the streets of our cities scared the poop out of the politicians.
All they’ve done since then is pander to them.
There needs to be more Cantorizing.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if this passed somehow? Wow! Trump would be amazing.
Unless it was an amendment to a must pass bill a stand alone is designed to fail and is for show. Makes the GOPe look good knowing it will not pass.
Eight Commandments of the Liberal Left
I
Thou shalt create an illusion of invulnerability shared by most members to foster excessive optimism and encourage extreme risks taking
II
Thou shall not allow any member to question the group's inherent morality, instead members shall be encouraged to ignore the ethical or moral consequences of their decisions
III
Thou shalt promote collective efforts to rationalize in order to discount warnings, or other information that might lead members to reconsider their assumptions before they recommit themselves to their assumptions
IV
Thou shalt reinforce stereotyped views of enemy leaders as too evil to warrant genuine attempts to negotiate, or as too weak and stupid to counter whatever risky attempts are made to defeat their purpose
V
Thou shalt self-censor any deviation from the apparent group consensus, inclining each member to minimize the importance of their doubts and counterarguments
VI
Thou shalt create and maintain a shared illusion of unanimity concerning judgement conforming to the majority view
VII
Thou shalt apply direct pressure on any member who expresses strong arguments against any of the group's stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, making clear that this type of dissent is contrary to what is expected of all loyal members
VIII
Thou shalt appoint mind guards to protect the group from adverse information that might shatter their shared complacency about the effectiveness and morality of their decisions

“Its good for the order”/sarc
Trump is setting the discussion agenda. Hopefully next he’ll mention the No Iran Deal rally that was in Times Square yesterday. Then the media will HAVE to talk about it!
“The Donald Trump Act”. That sounds good. Sorry democrats, he is too smart for you all.
During the Laredo presser, Trump POWN3D MSNBC and Telemundo host Jose Diaz-Balart. t was a pleasure to see.
I despise them all.
Let them call it the Donald Trump act at least he understands the situation!!!
Is there enough votes to over ride the POS’s veto?
It’s “Kate’s Law”. The Donald may have used his influence to move it through Congress, but the person at the center, Kate Steinle, deserves this memorial.
The Current Occupant now squatting the White, er, “Rainbow” Hut, is a spiteful and mean-minded troll reminiscent of the Gollum in the “Fellowship of the Ring”.
We ought to set up sanctuary houses located next door to each DemoRat pol-— they would soon be singing a different tune when it hits home in a reality check. Ruin their neighborhood like the ruin they voted for America.
