The ‘Donald Trump Act’ Just Passed The House By A Landslide, And Obama Doesn’t Like It One Bit



H.R. 3009 passed easily in the lower chamber 241 to 179.

The House passed a bill Thursday which would punish cities that refuse to enforce federal i*********n l*w.

H.R. 3009 passed easily in the lower chamber 241 to 179, The Hill reported. The bill would force local law enforcement agencies to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement if they have an i*****l i*******t in custody; otherwise, certain federal law enforcement grants would be withheld.

“I think we can all agree that any state or locality must comply with the law—and they are required to coordinate and cooperate with the federal government,” said Rep. Duncan H****r, R-Calif., who sponsored the legislation. “If an arrest is made, the federal government should be notified. The fact that San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities disagree with the politics of federal enforcement doesn’t mean they should receive a pass to subvert the law.”

“And if they do, there needs to be consequences—and the way we impose those consequences is by hitting them where it hurts. In the pocketbook,” H****r added.

The bill was passed after 32-year-old Kate Steinle was murdered earlier this month, allegedly by an i*****l i*******t who was deported from the U.S. multiple times and convicted of several felonies.

H****r’s bill was v**ed on largely across party lines. Reps. Carlos Curbelo of Florida, Bob Dold of Illinois, Dan Donovan and Peter King of New York, and Dave Reichert of Washington were the only GOP members of Congress to v**e against the measure. Six Democrats v**ed for the bill: Reps. Ami Bera of California, Jim Cooper of Tennessee, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Bill Keating of Massachusetts, Collin Peterson of Minnesota, and Krysten Sinema of Arizona.

Opponents of the bill have tied it to Republican p**********l candidate Donald Trump, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who in a statement earlier this week labeled the proposal the “Donald Trump Act.” Pelosi went on to call the bill a “wildly partisan, misguided bill that second-guesses the decisions of police chiefs around the country about how to best ensure public safety.”

“Just a few weeks into his campaign and Donald Trump has a bill on the floor of the House. That is better than some of the senators he’s running against,” Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., a fierce opponent of conservative immigration measures, told The Hill Thursday.

Meanwhile in the upper chamber, Sens. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., introduced legislation comparable Tuesday to what has been passed in the House. The legislation, entitled the Protecting American Lives Act, goes a step further with language that includes a mandatory five-year prison sentence for any deported i*****l i*******t who re-enters the U.S. illegally.

Let's start punishing people (organizations) for hiring i*****l i*******ts....going after i*****l i*******ts doesn't get anyone's attention. Do you know how many Jose Vargas's there are...and how many corporate farms hire i*****l i*******ts...Driscol's to name one I'm sure and ADM to name another. How 'bout Pulte Homes, how many i******s do they hire a day to build homes. You wanna put Americans back to work, you have to cut the head of the snake.

Why is the bill called "Protecting American Lives Act?" After all, those evil dark skinned Mexicans with greasy black hair can still sneak across the border rape you and cut your throats can't they? They can still be deported and come back into this country can't they? How does this bill do anything but placate conservatives bigots who think everyone of Mexican descent is an evil person out to get them? Christ you people are pathetic. Why not wrap yourselves in the f**g and carry your bible around along with your guns. After all, your guns, by themselves, don't seem to be doing a very good job do they...

Don't buy houses or farm produce. Show um who's in charge. The real answer is legislation that will really punish employers who hire i******s. Right now it is a slap on the wrist and nothing more. Stop wasting time with feel good laws and go for something that really punish those who hire i******s. The real criminals have white skin not brown. If an i*****l a***n can't find a job walls to keep them out won't be necessary.

Dummy, while I agree with your post, it lacks reality. This is not meant as a put down to you, this is more a shot at Obama and his DOJ. My Sheriff, the toughest sheriff in America, Sheriff Joe did exactly what you are posting abut and had the DOJ all over his butt. Filed suit after suit against him. The County just settled a suit over such things. When we have people at the top who keeps those down trying to do their jobs, it makes it really tough on the rest of us.

Conservatives always have to punish SOMEONE legislatively...they relish seeing people miserable...

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God

Yeah we know the t***h and so do you, that Trump is a winner and you are...a LOSER!

This is you talking about the House passing the bill by a landslide...

The votes went to the GOP this much!

Dummy Boy Loc: Michigan

Absolutely. Talking about building a wall at Americas expense is ridiculous.

Dummy Boy Loc: Michigan

....like drunk driving...what are we accomplishing by arresting drunk drivers?

She Wolf Loc: Currently Georgia

Agreed. If we fined companies and subjected a few CEOs to public arrests it would be very difficult for these criminals to obtain employment in this country. Of course for this to be successful, we must also limit social programs to citizens of this country. No job, No free ride = no reason to invade this country.

If a company is caught employing i******s, they should not be able to even bid on government contracts. A list of companies hiring these criminals should be posted in the media. Americans can then choose not to purchase products or services from criminal businesses.

And conservatives love laws but h**e regulations? You do know a regulation is a law don't you? And you do know that it is conservative businesses, the same ones who are telling you to h**e regulations, who are the ones hiring i*****l a***ns don't you? Do you think i*****l a***ns would be coming over here if they couldn't get a job? You putzes are the ones who love i******s and you are just too dumb to know it. The only thing hugging businesses gets you are more i*****l a***ns. The sooner you start making businesses accountable the sooner you will see i******s going back across the border. You don't need a wall you need to elect representatives who have some brains and the balls to make businesses accountable...
