Washington, DC - Yesterday, Congressman Van Drew's bill, the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act, passed through the House of Representatives. This bill is part of a package of bills that have been passed by the House that reinforce immigration law to ensure that any illegal that assaults an American or commits a crime is permanently detained until they are deported. This bill was brought to the floor during Police Week, where we honor the sacrifice of the men and women of our law enforcement who lay their lives on the line every day to ensure our safety.

"As millions of illegal immigrants flood across our border under President Biden's weak border policies, I am making it clear that the American people demand consequences for the illegal actions of those who should not even be in our country in the first place," said Congressman Van Drew. "My bill ensures that when illegal immigrants assault the Americans who keep us safe, they will be detained, and they will be deported. Make no mistake: enacting legislation like this should not even be necessary, but under the current administration, it is. The Biden Administration has refused to secure our border, allowing millions of illegals to enter our country. Sanctuary cities and states and their weak-on-crime policies have allowed the worst of these illegal immigrants to create chaos in our streets by refusing to detain or prosecute them. So, we must take action ourselves to ensure the security of our citizens at every level. No harm to our law enforcement or any American will ever be tolerated, much less by those who have already broken our laws by entering the country illegally."

In support of Congressman Van Drew's bill, Speaker Johnson said, "President Biden and his administration have worked to systematically undermine America's principle of law and order by allowing millions of illegal aliens to cross our border. Our law enforcement officers risk their lives daily to keep our communities safe, and they shouldn't have to confront the added risk of being assaulted by illegal aliens who demonstrate a blatant disregard for our legal system and institutions. Congressman Van Drew's Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act conveys a straightforward message: if you come to the U.S. illegally and attack an officer, you will be detained and deported."

The chances of this passing the Senate and FJB signing it is slim to none...

^^^^Yes, Democrats do love their illegal aliens, as that POS Senator Chris Murphy said a few weeks ago:

"Well, I mean, Chris, that’s been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country," Murphy said.

When they pass anything against illegals, and the GOP is in control of all 3, pay attention.

They spout all manner of stuff, so long as they can't pass it.

This right here! Both parties do the same crap. They run their mouths and give their constituents everything they want.....when they are out of power, as they know it's going nowhere. Drives me crazy! When they have the power to do something, they don't.

Please don't misinterpret my comments to mean I'm not for the bill, so long as it will accomplish something. I'm just tired of the games they play to appease the voters.
