On 1/7/25 the House passed the Laken Riley Act with a majority of Democrats voting against the bill. The Laken Riley Act is the first bill in the 119th Congress addressing illegal immigration, requiring that aliens charged with theft or burglary be detained.
As we can all recall Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien while she was jogging at the University of Georgia.
As would be expected a majority of Democrats voted against this bill … despicable Dems! However, despite the overwhelming resistance from 159 Democrats, 48 voted with 216 Republicans to pass the legislation.
Speaker Mike Johnson praised the legislation, saying it will “ensure criminals like Laken’s murderer are detained & deported before they can commit such evil acts.”
Actually, this Democrat resistance is not surprising as “President Biden never apologized to Laken’s family for allowing her killer into our country, but he DID apologize for calling that monster an illegal,” added Mike Johnson.
Joe Biden, another truly despicable Dem!
