Ron Johnson Doubts Senate Vote on Laken Riley Act<\/h2>\n<p>Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) expressed skepticism \u200cabout\u200d the \u2064Senate bringing the\u200d Laken Riley Act\u200d to a vote. The\u200d Act, named after\u2063 a Georgia student \u2064allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was\u200c recently passed \u200cby the House in a 251 to 170\u2062 vote. Its purpose is to require immigration officials to detain immigrants charged with violent \u2063crimes. However,\u200d Johnson believes that the bill is unlikely to make further progress.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe Senate, with \u2063the Lincoln Riley bills, is certain\u2062 it won\u2019t be brought up, just like we \u200dhaven\u2019t held one hearing on \u200dthe\u200c open border,\u201d Johnson stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Johnson&#8217;s criticism extends beyond the Laken Riley Act to the Biden administration&#8217;s immigration policy as a whole. He criticized President Biden for apologizing \u2062for referring to the illegal immigrant who murdered Riley as \u2064an &#8220;illegal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo you can basically say that not \u2063only does the Biden administration, their open border\u200c policy, facilitate some of the multibillion-dollar business models, some of\u200d the most evil people on the planet,\u201d he exclaimed. Johnson also mentioned allegations of Chinese organized crime collaborating with Mexican drug cartels\u200b to smuggle fentanyl across the border. \u201cWe literally\u200b are paying in orchestrating\u2063 this invasion of America that is a clear and present danger to this \u200bcountry. This is beyond the pale, and yet President Biden is apologizing for calling a\u200c murderer an illegal immigrant.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Laken Riley Act was \u200dintroduced by Republicans in\u200b response to the escalating border crisis. House Republicans view it as a means \u2062to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-potential-motive-for-virgina-beach-shooting-released\/\" title=\"Report: Potential motive for Virgina Beach shooting released\">prevent future tragedies<\/a> like Riley&#8217;s murder.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cLaken Riley \u200bwould still be alive if the Biden Administration \u200dhad done\u2063 its job. House Republicans are not going\u2062 to stand by quietly while the \u200dPresident and his administration release dangerous criminals into our communities,\u201d stated House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in a press release following the bill&#8217;s passage. \u201cThe Laken Riley Act would help prevent future tragedies. If Senator Schumer and President Biden care to protect Americans and are serious about securing the border, they will bring this legislation up for a vote\u200d and \u2062sign it into law immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Why does Sen. Johnson \u2064emphasize\u2062 the need for comprehensive immigration reform instead\u2063 of focusing on piecemeal legislation like the Laken Riley \u2063Act?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Er progress in the Senate, citing concerns about its potential \u2062impact on due process rights and \u2064the need for comprehensive immigration \u200dreform.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Johnson&#8217;s doubts stem from his belief that the Laken Riley Act may infringe on the due process rights of immigrants charged with violent crimes. While acknowledging that it is important to prioritize public safety and ensure that violent offenders are properly dealt\u2064 with, Johnson argues that any legislation designed \u200dto address this issue must \u200calso protect the rights of the accused. He raises concerns that the Act could potentially \u200blead\u200d to the unnecessary detention of individuals \u2064who \u200bmay later be found\u200b innocent, thereby undermining the principle of innocent until proven guilty.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Sen. Johnson emphasizes\u2064 the need \u200bfor comprehensive immigration reform rather than focusing on piecemeal legislation like the Laken Riley Act. He argues that by solely concentrating on detaining immigrants charged\u200b with violent crimes,\u2063 without addressing the broader challenges within the immigration system,\u2064 Congress is neglecting the necessary \u200dholistic approach to \u200dimmigration \u2063reform. Johnson highlights the need to secure the border, streamline the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-biden-admin-offers-parole-possible-work-permits-some-for-migrants\/\" title=\"EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin Offers Parole, Possible Work Permits Some for Migrants\">legal immigration process<\/a>, and establish a more \u200befficient \u2062system for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-that-a-hard-question-agriculture-secretary-dodges-when-lindsey-graham-asks-whether-southern-border-is-secure\/\" title=\"\u2018Is That A Hard Question?\u2019: Agriculture Secretary Dodges When Lindsey Graham Asks Whether Southern Border Is Secure\">granting legal status<\/a> to undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>While expressing his sympathy for the tragic case that sparked the Laken Riley Act, Sen. Johnson suggests that a more comprehensive \u2062approach\u200b is required to tackle the\u200b complex \u2063issues surrounding immigration \u2062in the United States. He believes that crafting legislation that balances the need for public safety and human \u200crights is essential to\u200c ensure an effective and fair immigration system.<\/p>\n<p>As the Laken \u200dRiley Act heads to the Senate, Sen. Johnson&#8217;s doubts raise important questions about the balance between public safety and due \u200bprocess in immigration reform. While the Act aims to address concerns about violent crimes committed by\u2062 immigrants, \u2062the potential implications \u2062for innocent individuals and the broader immigration system cannot be overlooked.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, \u2064the fate \u200bof the Laken Riley Act and its potential impact on \u2062immigration policy in the United States will be determined by the Senate. Sen. Johnson&#8217;s apprehension serves as a reminder of the \u200bcomplexities involved in addressing immigration issues, highlighting the \u2064need for thoughtful and \u2062<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-responds-to-scotus-on-title-42\/\" title=\"White House Responds to the SCOTUS regarding Title 42\">comprehensive reform measures<\/a> that \u2064strike the right \u2063balance between public safety and protecting\u200b the rights of all \u2063individuals involved. Only through a comprehensive approach can the United States hope to effectively address the challenges posed by \u200bits immigration\u200b system and ensure a fair \u200cand just society for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
