You've probably heard of the Laken Riley murder by a man here in the US illegally. The murder occurred in Georgia, and a Georgia Representative put forward a bill in the US House to "require the Secretary of Homeland Security to take into custody aliens who have been charged in the United States with theft, and for other purposes."
That's how far afield this Democrat administration has taken us: we have to file laws to require the the person in charge of securing our country to detain illegals who commit criminal acts. Because he doesn't.
The Venezuelan was redundantly proven to be a risk.
- September 2023: arrested in New York City and charged with "acting in a manner to injure a child less than 17 and a motor vehicle license violation."
- October 2023: arrested by Athens GA police on theft charges.
- December 2023: warrant issued after failing to appear in court in a shoplifting case in Georgia.
So, passing this law is a no-brainer, right? Well, it passed, yes it did. The vote wasn't unanimous, however. It was 264 who agreed with the bill to 159 who opposed it. Every Republican in Texas voted for it. Every Democrat but two voted against it. These are the Democrats who voted against it:
Greg Casar
Joaquin Castro
Jasmine Crockett
Lloyd Doggett
Veronica Escobar
Lizzie Fletcher
Vicente Gonzalez
Al Green
Julie Johnson
Sylvester Turner
Marc Veasey
I argue that each of these representatives is guilty of depraved indifference, which is defined as behavior "so wanton, so deficient in a moral sense of concern, so lacking in regard for the life or lives of others, and so blameworthy as to warrant the same criminal liability as that which the law imposes upon a person who intentionally causes a crime."
Regrettably, prosecuting them for their depraved indifference won't happen - but every one of them should be replaced pronto. They are so committed to allow illegals into the US that they just don't care who gets hurt in this invasion.
It's not the first time that Democrats favored illegals over the safety of women. In 2024, many voted against The Violence Against Women by Illegal Aliens Act. "In addition to deporting migrants convicted of sex crimes, the legislation would also deem illegal immigrants who admit to domestic violence or sex-related charges – or are convicted of them – to be inadmissible in the U.S."
These Texas Democrats voted against the safety of women:
Greg Casar
Joaquin Castro
Jasmine Crockett
Lloyd Doggett
Veronica Escobar
Lizzie Fletcher
Sylvia Garcia
Al Green
Marc Veasey
Depraved indifference. Guilty. Every one of them.
It's up to us to replace them with moral, caring human beings.
