Republican-Controlled House Passes Immigration Bill Named After Migrant-Murdered American Citizen Laken Riley; Bill Requires Any Illegal Alien Committing Theft or Burglary to be Deported

The shocking part is, of course, that this is not the law already.

And the other shocking part is that Democrats, of course, will oppose it.

The House on Thursday passed a bill that would require the detention of any migrant who committed burglary or theft, legislation that House Republicans named after a Georgia student who police say was killed by a man who illegally crossed the border.

The measure -- dubbed the Laken Riley Act -- cleared the chamber in a 251-170 vote, with 37 Democrats joining all Republicans present in voting "yes." It was the latest move by GOP lawmakers to put a spotlight on the situation at the southern border, which has emerged as a key issue in the 2024 campaign cycle and a top vulnerability for President Biden heading into the general election.

Yes yes, but would you say Republicans are seizing on the situation?

Republicans have seized on Riley's death to hammer the Biden administration.

There you go. Never change, fascist Maoist propaganda media.

Meanwhile, illegal aliens are doing the welfare scamming that Americans won't do.

Well, Americans will grift welfare from their fellow citizens and make us all work an extra twenty hours a week just to pay taxes so that they don't have to work. But apparently we're stuck with them.

Below, an illegal alien says to other aliens, "You came here to work, I came here to vacation," and then shows off his "gold mine," a toddler daughter born on American soil that gives him welfare money so that he can sit on his ass all day.

Nobody likes thieves and nobody likes welfare scammers.

Guys like this might be why working class minorities, once a mainstay of the Democrat Party, are now nearly split in voter identification. Gee I wonder why.

Cast your mind back to those heady days of 2012 when Barack Obama vanquished Mitt Romney and won a second term in the White House. In that election, Obama carried nonwhite working-class (noncollege) voters by a massive 67 points, while losing white college graduates by 7 points. That means Obama did 74 points better among the nonwhite working class than among white college graduates.

In the next two presidential elections, that differential steadily narrowed as Democrats did worse among nonwhite working-class voters even as they improved among white college graduates. In 2020, Biden carried the nonwhite working class by 48 points (19 points less than Obama did in 2012) while carrying white college graduates by 9 points (16 points better than Obama). That cut the Democrats' positive differential between these two groups almost in half, down to 39 points.

Now it's Biden running for a second term and, astonishingly, that positive differential may have entirely disappeared. According to the just-released New York Times/Siena poll, Biden is actually doing worse among the nonwhite working class, carrying them by a mere six points, than among white college graduates, where he enjoys a 15 point advantage over Trump. Amazing. There is perhaps no better illustration of the Democrats' transformation into a Brahmin Left party, beloved by the educated but increasingly viewed with suspicion by the working classes of all races.
