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.

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.
indeed
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.
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.
Very few voters buy what the establishment Repubs are saying.
Gives a new meaning to the “Last Trump” .... Doesn’t it????
ping
Cantorize the wound known as D.C.
179 voted against it! Disgusting!
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
Because obeying the law is not how he rolls.
Love it! Trump is carpet bombing the entire political establishment.
More like “Obama do your fuching job act”.
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 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--

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 Guatemalas 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 Portillos 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)

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
