In a shocking turn of events, House Democrats have once again shown their true colors by voting against the common-sense Laken Riley Act, a bill aimed at ensuring that illegal migrants who commit crimes in the United States are detained. How difficult is it to agree that criminals should be held accountable for their actions, regardless of their immigration status? Apparently, for over half of the House Democratic Caucus, it’s a real head-scratcher.
The tragic death of Laken Riley, a promising nursing student, at the hands of an illegal immigrant should have been a wake-up call for lawmakers to prioritize the safety of American citizens. Instead, we see the Democrats playing their usual political games, spewing rhetoric about “scapegoating immigrants” to avoid holding criminals accountable. It’s truly disappointing to witness such callous disregard for the rule of law and the well-being of our communities.

Does anybody know how our Congressional Delegation voted on this please ?

Kudos to the brave 214 Republicans who stood up for justice and voted in favor of the Laken Riley Act. It’s heartening to see lawmakers who are willing to put the safety and interests of Americans first, unlike their Democrat counterparts who seem more concerned with virtue signaling and pandering to special interests.
Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler’s attempt to paint this bill as a partisan ploy is laughable. The only thing partisan about this situation is the Democrats’ refusal to prioritize public safety over their own political agendas. It’s time for the left to stop playing politics with people’s lives and start focusing on real solutions to address the crisis at our border.
Let’s hope that the Senate has more sense than the House and chooses to take up the Laken Riley Act. American lives are at stake, and it’s high time our elected officials start prioritizing the safety and security of our nation over petty political squabbles. The safety of law-abiding citizens should always come first, no matter what the Democrats’ latest excuse may be.
