WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Wednesday gave final approval to a bill that requires the detainment of unauthorized immigrants accused of theft and violent crimes, marking the first legislation that President Donald Trump can sign as Congress, with some bipartisan support, swiftly moved in line with his plans to crackdown on illegal immigration.

I am not sure what this bill actually changes. Do we not already detain anyone accused of theft or violent crimes? How would them being an unauthorized migrant even be a known factor unless they have already been detained?

It will certainly embolden some people to snitch, which is likely the intention.

      Tbf they’re the party that managed to lose to Trump. Twice. In a sense, their wilful incompetence is why we’re in this situation. Fascism only succeeds where Liberalism fails.

        Don’t you know? It’s not that the Democrats are out of touch and only offer corporate-whore-lite.

        It’s because the voters are all wrong!
