I genuinely believe that it should be illegal to discriminate against someone based on their citizenship, including how they are prosecuted. The murder of Laken Riley is of course a tragedy and her murderer should face the consequences. But the crime had nothing to do with her murderers citizenship status. An undocumented person is statistically exponentially less likely to commit a crime than a citizen, so why are migrants facing different consequences, that does nothing to prevent crime.

Odd one out again, but I have no problem with this Act.

I cannot begin to imagine what the family and friend's of Laken are going through.

THEY and other families similar are where my personal sympathies rest.
just an old coot 😉🌵

It’s my understanding that Ibarra committed theft (shoplifting) after being released by ICE?

It's just so cynical and gross. If she had died in a mass shootings or because she couldn't access a safe abortion, they wouldn't even know her name.

This is exactly what I was thinking too.
