House Passes Laken Riley Act

Good.

CNN:

“Washington CNN — The House voted on Tuesday to pass a GOP-led bill to require detention of undocumented migrants charged with certain crimes, but the measure faces an uncertain future in the Senate in a sign of the challenges facing Republicans despite controlling both chambers of Congress.

The decision by House Republicans to bring up the legislation, known as the Laken Riley Act, as the first bill of the new Congress highlights the central priority of the issue for the party. But the narrow margins in both chambers limit what Republicans can achieve, and it’s not clear if the bill will have the votes needed in the Senate, which is on track to take up the measure on Friday.

The House vote was 264 to 159, with 48 Democrats voting with Republicans in support. When the legislation passed the chamber in the last session Congress, 37 Democrats voted with Republicans. …”

I remember covering the Biden administration in early 2021.

Biden started to systematically dismantle immigration enforcement on his first day in office. The Democrat-controlled House passed multiple amnesties for DREAMERS and farm workers. By April of 2021, the flood of illegal aliens across the border had reached a 20 year high. If it had not been for the Senate filibuster, which Manchin and Sinema fell on their swords to preserve (both have since left Congress), it would have been a civilization wrecking catastrophe.

The politics of immigration have since shifted to the point that Fetterman and Gallego are sponsoring this bill in the Senate. Vulnerable swing state Democrats saw what happened to Bob Casey and got the message. We still need five more Democrat votes to stop a filibuster.

Anyway, this is a good start for the 119th Congress, and a big shift from the 117th.

  1. Cracking down on illegal immigration is a tactic used to cut back on social benefits. Your food stamps, your social security, your medicare or medicaid they are all going to be cut whether or not you are an illegal immigrant. And the excuse they are going to tell you, you poor stupid white cracker is we have got to limit benefits to illegal immigrants.

  2. OT, and for those who are so interested.

    Elon Musk x Alice Weidel Twitter/X space tomorrow, 7 PM my time, 1 PM US East, Noon Central. Still don’t know if it’ll be on his account or hers.

  3. Overt acknowledgement of the explicit anti White bias of the administrative state and Democrat party from Tucker.

    You folks can’t ask for more than this. We won, and we didn’t even show up to fight for ourselves. We were in a ghetto LARPing about Jewish cultural hegemony while the rest of the country was internalizing all of our talking points.

    Its friggin amazing how far we’ve come with no effort expended.

  4. The house passed it, OK. That’s more useful than 99% of what they do. Now onto the senate, where we can look for it to be watered down considerably by the likes of Cocaine Mitch and his bitch Lady G (not even to mention Chuckie and the gang). Should it pass the Senate, then they have this “reconciliation” between the two versions passed. You really think the usual suspects are going to allow anything with actual teeth to be enacted for Trump to sign? Keep in mind that the Gay Old Pedoburo has continued to approve clowns appointed to judicial posts by Joey Shitpants who have no business even voting much less making decisions about laws. Rev. Dabney’s axiom is as true now as it was in 1870.
