The House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday that aims to deport undocumented migrants charged with nonviolent crimes. 28 Democrats joined all Republicans to pass the first immigration bill of this Congressional session. Cato scholar David Bier posted on X about this bill saying “The Laken Riley Act pretends to be about stopping ILLEGAL immigrants who commit crimes. In fact, it’s a Trojan horse designed to destroy legal migration because nativists cannot help themselves. They simply don’t care about illegal immigration as much as legal immigration.”
