It is not the “Donald Trump Act” they named it after the girl that was murdered. It’s pretty sleazy to call it the “Donald Trump Act”

The Donald had nothing to do with it moving through Congress. Members of Congress did that too.

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.

indeed

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.

Finally Congress attempts to pass a law that I actually agree with. IIRC, this will be the first in ............. my entire adult life.

Dem Guitierrez called the defunding of Sanctuary Cities the Donald Trump Act. Trump didn’t name it. I believe the Kate’s law part has to do with the mandatory jail time for felonious illegals.

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?

Do you actually believe the Republicans are any better?

Both parties are doing things that drive down the quality of American life and are inflicting extreme damage on the middle class and our economy.

The ONLY thing the Republican's are doing at this point is playing politics with the issue. They know Obama won't sign any bill specific to enforcing border security and that's exactly what they want. They can then turn around and tell the folks in fly-over country that "we tried" and the solution as always is to elect more RINO's.

Don't buy it.

First thing...why the grandstanding by the GOP threatening to cut funding. Just do it in the DHS funding bills. If Dems want to shut DHS down, let them. Just have the guts to stand up for you constitutional duties.

Good grief - wasn’t there a case a few years ago where a state (Arizona?) tried to guard their border or send illegals back, and the feds sued them since immigration enforcement was a federal responsibility - and won?

And now - cities can ignore federal law, and that is OK? And an attempt to force them to follow it can actually be vetoed?

We are living in an alternate reality

President Obama has vowed to veto the bill.

Because obeying the law is not how he rolls.

I agree completely.

What is going to happen, I think, is that Trump himself is going to call out a Dem or two who are calling it the Trump Act, and berate them publically for being unwilling to call it what it is, The Kate Act.

The sentimental narrative on immigration has become a nightmare....the bygone fairy tale that we thrive b/c we are "a nation of immigrants". These liars and criminals are not the "yearning immigrants of yesteryear." These are Third World armies of barbarian invaders---lusting after the riches and wealth of our country----plotting the overthrow of the US govt...AKA The Latino Bund.

The Latino Bund is hard at work----plotting to overthrow the US govt. These are barbarians and interlopers w/ orders to loot and pillage our nation's wealth. Capital Hill is awash in this Third World filth.

The Steinle killing reaffirms that they are here to harm Americans---they despise us.

They act as "pressure groups" --- tight-knit ethnic voting blocs ---- to pressure Congress to start the billionaire gravy train rolling to their salivating Third World handlers. Third World federales are lying-in-wait---salivating for zillions in "humanitarian foreign aid" and anything else they can get their greedy hands on.

=================================================

TIME FOR OBAMA TO REGISTER AS A FOREIGN AGENT--
In the WH--plotting the overthrow of the US government?

JULY 2014--Central American leaders at the White House.
President Salvador Sanchez Ceren of El Salvador, left,
President Otto Perez Molina of Guatemala, second left,
and President Juan Orlando Hernandez of Honduras, right.

===========================================

REALITY CHECK---"HUMANITARIAN US FOREIGN AID"
US tax dollars laundered in US banks by Guatemalan;
scumbag elected to "redistribute" dirt-poor nation's wealth.

Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.

Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kid.

Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.

The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.

<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...

<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...

<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

NICE TAKE--Trump isn’t even president yet, and is getting
bills to the floor. Of course, zero will veto it - I loathe this POS.

Course, I never saw what Obama has behind his zipper..
but he sure ain't got a working set of gonads.

A stale salted pretzel stick comes to mind.

Kinda makes me understand why Michele hates "salty snacks."

ROTFLMAO
