Laken Riley

"The Laken Riley Act passed the House of Representatives on Thursday in a 251-170 vote, which would require ICE to detain illegal immigrants charged with theft or burglary.
It was pushed by Republicans in the wake of Riley's murder, allegedly at the hands of illegal immigrant Ibarra, who had previously been arrested in New York for endangering a child and in Georgia again in October 2023 on shoplifting charges.
The passage of the bill this week led Riley's mom Phillips to take to Facebook, saying: 'Praise God! #SayHerName LAKEN HOPE RILEY BILL - PASSED.' "

-Sanford Bishop Jr....has been holding public office for 47 years, in the House for 31, TERM LIMITS
-Hank Johnson-After Dubya's SOTU in 2007, he had this to say, "It is time for President Bush to face the music and respond to the urgent demands of a frustrated country." My, my, my.
-Lucy McBath. Her son Jordan Davis was shot to death in Florida and she became a national advocate for gun control laws. So her son is shot to death, guns are bad. But Laken Riley is murdered by an illegal and it's okay that he was in the US. Sad.
-David Scott...has been holding public office for 49 years, member in the House for 21. TERM LIMITS. He owns a billboard advertising business. "In May 2007, it was reported that the business owed more than $150,000 in back taxes and penalties. Scott's campaigns paid the company more than $500,000 from 2002 to 2010, including expenses for office rent, printing, T-shirts, and other services. He has also paid his wife, two daughters, and son-in-law tens of thousands of dollars for campaign work such as fund raising and canvassing. In 2007, Scott was named one of the 25 most corrupt members of Congress by the political watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington."
I wonder if Mr Scott was listening when Biden said we all need to pay our taxes.
Why donāt you mention Christian school shooting victims?
No, he wasn't. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of calling Bush out but not demanding the same of biden on the border.
