>Houses Passes ‘Laken Riley Act’ To Crack Down On Illegal Immigrant Criminals

By: Daily Caller, March 7, 2024:

he House passed a bill Thursday that would target illegal migrants in the U.S. who have committed certain crimes, naming the legislation in memory of the late nursing student Laken Hope Riley.

Riley, aged 22, was killed on Feb. 22 after being allegedly attacked while running in a forested area near the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia, with the suspect arrested and charged with her murder, Jose Antonio Ibarra, being a Venezuelan national who allegedly entered the United States illegally and was released after being initially detained. The Laken Riley Act would require the federal government to detain foreign nationals who commit “burglary, theft, larceny, or [a] shoplifting offense” as well as grant states to sue the federal government for non-enforcement of certain aspects of immigration law, and passed the House by a vote of 251 yeas to 170 nays.

“It should pass the Senate. That doesn’t mean it will or it would, but it should. This is common sense legislation. This is good legislation, and this can help our local law enforcement so I would hope that the Senate would look at it from that standpoint,” Republican Rep. Mike Collins of Georgia, the bill’s sponsor, who represents the district where Riley died, told the DCNF. “There’s nothing wrong with this bill. There’s nothing I could see that they could point at and say ‘That’s wrong,’ with this bill. And if we can pass this, we should pass it. It’s got a good chance of helping save a life.”

Typical Leftists. Make another law. If they enforced the existing laws there wouldn’t be a need for yet another new law. This is nothing but grandstanding/virtue signaling and will be more wasted time to delay actually closing the border.
In the end this will be just another law the American Uniparty won’t enforce to aid in the destruction of the USA.

I can understand why a female runner might prefer running in a wooded area vs out on the streets suffering the rude whistles and cat-calls of idiots. Sad that she died for that choice.

The RELEASE of a WANTON MURDERER should be IN a CARBOARD BOX, SIX FEET UNDER the ground or deposited OFF-SHORE of the MURDERER’S home country!

That illegal migrant who murdered that college student when she was out for a run is both a murderer and a coward. For going after a young female to commit his evil action and not going after a man with murderous intent.

That vicious criminal illegal migrant is a case of the need for strong secure US /Mexican borders.

It’s about time that the House passed such an Act to crack down on illegal criminal migrants in the United States.

Nevertheless. it was passed far too late for Laken Riley who was a murder victim that cowardly criminal vicious thug. What happened to her was even worse than sad and tragic.

That malice-filled illegal migrant from South of border Jose Antonio , is such a malicious criminal that he murdered a young innocent college student who was in training to be a nurse.

That horrible and incident is one example out of many which further proves the That vicious illegal migrant from South of border is such a malicious criminal that he murdered a young innocent college student who was in training to be a nurse.

That horrible and incident is one example out of many which further proves the impotence of strong secure US .Mexican borders.

As Ronald Reagan had rightly and wisely, declared in a speech, “A nation without borders is not a nation.”

They have all committed a crime simply by entering illegally. Deport them ALL for that reason. Don’t wait for them to commit MORE crimes like murder or theft. If the govt won’t do it citizens will have to. Only deportation won’t be the outcome, something more permanent is needed.

The whole invasion is deliberate and is being orchestrated by the Demonrat party and all the communists in the bureaucracy. Their strategy involves both legal and illegal immigration Thus they too have committed a crime and should suffer the same fate, the usual punishment for treason.

IF there is a Better reason to NOT vote for the DNC, than this DNC vote AGAINST “Law & Order”, I’d be hard pressed to KNOW one. MAYBE, instead of busing illegal aliens to Just NYC, DC, et al, they should be Bused to the Neighborhoods of the DNC Bureaucrats!
