House Passes Laken Riley Act

Why are 11 not voting. This garbage needs to end now. Especially someone who is set to be the National Security Advisor.

It should be mandatory that Every elected Congress person vote for every Bill and Act.

They people who voted now against this are the reason 80 million people voted for the person they could trust.

It's pitiful that a law needs to be created for arresting illegal aliens. ILLEGAL aliens. As if none existed before.

It will be ignored by law-breaking officials, just like any other law they choose to ignore.

I hope A.G. Pam Bondi has the guts to have them arrested. Mayors and Governors included.

The LAKEN RILEY Act is moving forward in the U.S. Senate...

WASHINGTON — The Senate voted Thursday to begin debate on the Laken Riley Act, clearing a key hurdle to advance a Republican-led bill aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration that has garnered significant support from Democrats.

With a vote of 84-9, the bill easily cleared the 60-vote threshold to advance in GOP-controlled Senate. But many Democrats have suggested they want to amend the bill, so it’s unclear whether it will receive enough support for final passage.

“This is an important issue. We should have a debate and amendments,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said.

The openness from some Democrats to supporting the legislation comes as the party recalibrates its outlook on immigration after getting pummeled over the issue politically. In the 2024 election, voters trusted President-elect Donald Trump over Kamala Harris to handle immigration by a margin of 9 points, NBC News exit polls found. And voters who cited immigration as a top issue backed Trump over Harris 89% to 9%, according to exit polls.
