Senator John Cornyn is pushing hard to make sure illegal immigrants who kill Americans face the ultimate punishment. His new bill would subject those who murder U.S. citizens to the death penalty, aiming to stop future tragedies before they happen. This comes as conservatives demand stronger action to protect families from criminal migrants flooding across Biden’s open borders.
The Texas Republican’s plan targets loopholes that let violent offenders slip through the cracks. Current law allows some migrant killers to avoid capital punishment, but Cornyn’s fix would close that escape route. He argues this sends a clear message: if you enter illegally and take a life, you’ll pay with yours. No more catch-and-release for predators who target our neighbors.
This tough-on-crime approach follows the horrific murder of Laken Riley, a Georgia student killed by a Venezuelan migrant who shouldn’t have been here. Her killer had prior arrests but walked free thanks to soft policies. Cornyn’s bill ties directly to the Laken Riley Act, which already requires detention for migrants committing theft or assault. Now he’s raising the stakes for the worst crimes.
Democrats called the proposal extreme, but Cornyn fired back: “Deterrence works.” He highlighted how Biden’s border collapse unleashed chaos, with migrants assaulting cops and terrorizing cities like New York. The senator’s amendment to detain those attacking law enforcement recently passed with bipartisan support, proving even some liberals recognize the crisis.
The legislation would codify one of President Trump’s executive orders, making it harder for future administrations to weaken. Cornyn stressed that temporary orders aren’t enough – permanent laws are needed to keep Americans safe. With Trump back in office, conservatives have a rare chance to lock in border security wins before the next election.
Critics claim the death penalty won’t stop cartels or desperate migrants, but supporters say it’s about justice. Families ripped apart by illegal immigrant violence deserve closure, and predators must learn there are irreversible consequences. Cornyn vowed to “stand with the victims” against activists who prioritize criminals over citizens.
This bill faces fierce opposition from left-wing groups pushing open borders. They’ve fought every attempt to enforce immigration law, calling detention centers “racist” and deportations “cruel.” But polls show most Americans want stricter controls, especially after high-profile crimes exposed the human cost of lax policies.
Cornyn’s message cuts through the noise: American lives come first. While elites lecture about compassion, regular folks see boarded-up stores and haunted parents at funeral after funeral. The death penalty proposal isn’t just about punishment – it’s a warning to anyone who thinks they can cross illegally and harm our people without paying the price.
