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;

They are committing crimes by being in the country.
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.
Biden won’t sign it.
It does not show that. It shows that 170 of the 213 democrats in the House support the murder of Laken Riley. That's 80% of them, an appalling overwhelming majority.
Georgia had a rally to stop the migrant hate. Not a large crowd.
Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson
🚨The U.S. House has passed the Laken Riley Act by a 251-170 vote.
I’m confused. There are 219 R’s and 213 D’s. Where is Benny getting his data?
Are there any non-Marxists in the Democrat Party??
Marx wanted open borders. A cornerstone of his idea of making the world Communist.
What’s the point of new laws if the old ones aren’t enforced? A pres could just ignore like they always do.
