Comments for US House passes Laken Riley Act to mandate DHS detain criminal illegal aliens | Eastern North Carolina Now

A bill to detain illegal aliens who commit crimes was blocked in the Senate by Democrat leader Sen. Dick Durbin. The bill, Sarah's Law, named after an earlier American girl murdered by an illegal alien who had been released on earlier offense, was pushed by Sen/ Jonie Ernst (R-Iowa) who asked for unanimous consent to move it to the Senate calendar. Durbin objected saying illegal aliens should be treated like legal immigrants and given full due process.

The Lankford sellout was NOT a "compromise". It was a betrayal that tried to legitimize Biden's distortions of our immigration laws and created incentives for more illegal aliens to come. Instead of solving anything, it just made the situation on the border worse. No wonder the Oklahoma GOP has censured Lankford and cut off all support to him.

Legitimizing Biden's bastardization of illegal immigration was LESS than nothing. It was going backward. The Democrats' idea of a "compromise is doing it all or mostly their way, with maybe a few bribes for Republican sellouts thrown in.

Lankford has always been a Chamber of Commerce doofus on illegal immigration. McConnell sending him to "negotiate" was a signal that what McConnell really wanted to do was surrender, which was what he tried to do. If McConnell really wanted to get something worthwhile out of the discusions he would have sent a fighter like Ted Cruz or J.D. Vance to negotiate, not a pathetic surrender monkey like Lankford.

Republicans in the House are still pressing for real action on illegal immigration. The latest is the just-introduced "Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act"

The House passed HR2 months ago to take serious action to crack down on the influx of illegal aliens, but it sits in committee in the Democrat run Senate, not moving. It is the Democrats who are unable to govern. Now the House has also passed the Laken Riley Act, which I guess will also sit in limbo in the Democrat run Senate.

BS, Bobbie. The sellout crowd put forward a bill to legitimize Biden's deviations from the law. That proposal weakened, not strengthened our immigration laws. We should do as Hungary does and reject all illegal aliens. The asylum treaties do NOT require us allowing people already in a safe country to enter ours. We could reject all of them coming from Mexico and Canada and should do so.

Would Biden and his underlings obey any immigration law? They are scoflaws who just arrogantly refuse to obey most duly adopted US immigration laws. I hope the law has some severe penalties for disobeying it.
