The administration supports the passage of HR 3486, The Stop Illegal Entry Act of 2025 “after the unprecedented invasion of illegal immigrants and the influx of limitless, criminal aliens – including murderers, rapist, child, traffickers, and smugglers drug dealers and more – entering the United States and further enriching foreign terrorist cartels.”
The president wants to see stronger criminal penalties to prevent illegal entry of those guilty of the most heinous crimes.

I want the DEATH PENALTY! That will stop all this in a flash!
“The possibility of a lengthy prison sentence will accomplish that.”
Unbelievable: 2 years, 10 years, 15 years (and we pay for them to be in prison) and only if they get caught? Imagine you were a crim. Would that stop you when there are so many soft targets, “sanctuaries”, stupid judges, and the system is overwhelmed? Don’t think so!
