Cliffs?

Do we really need a new law? He broke a bunch and we have too many as it is.

Why can't we just enforce current laws? What's this law supposed to do that all the others don't? What are the consequences for breaking this law as opposed to all the other ones?

I don't understand this legislation. Are they making murder extra illegal?

Didn’t we (Congress) pass something like this during the Bush or early Obama Presidency already? Why don’t we just enforce what’s already on the f-ing books?

Unfortunately, we need to clarify laws with more laws. Instead of the law that makes you entering our country illegal, the laws supposedly allow ICE to decide when and what deports you…

This law is requiring any jurisdiction that apprehends an illegal for theft, must hold them for ICE….

fricking sad it’s come to this.

It requires ICE to detain illegal immigrants charged with any form of theft.

This is why I am soft on vigilante justice. There is no protection for you against predators but yourself, and much of the time the States interest is protecting the predator.

I agree. It is a waste of time. The GOP look foolish and petty.

In Dem areas the DA just won't charge them.

More talk, just theatre. The budget is up again in two weeks, tell the uni-party to close the border tomorrow or shut the fed government down in a couple weeks.
Repeat this narrative for the two weeks and shut it down.
Anything else is all talk.

Just saw Ro Khanna state he didn't vote for it because it allows illegals to be detained indefinitely... He said "I thought we lived in a country where we have rights".

Seems like this is their version of a "win", yet it's not.

Its an attempt to force Ice to have to do their jobs... Any illegal arrested by local law enforcement has to be detained by ICE for deportation.

But we all know Mayorkis doesn't follow the law any way.

It's like Hate Speech, but for illegals.


Is shows us that our elected leaders are DOING something, dammit!

The fact is, no new laws or acts need to be passed. Just like the Patriot Act never needed to become law. And yet, here we are.

But if it takes this to wake some people up, I'm fine with it.
