Tucker Carlson: Criminals would be protected from deportation under bill AOC and other House Democrats back

I know currently, this bill has no chance, and hopefully it will stay that way until at least January 2025, but at some point the Dems will be in charge again.  
 

Tucker Carlson: Criminals would be protected from deportation under bill AOC and other House Democrats back

 

At this moment there is a bill pending in Congress called the New Way Forward Act. It’s received almost no publicity, which is unfortunate as well as revealing.

The legislation is sponsored by 44 House Democrats, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. At roughly 4,400 words, it’s almost exactly as long as the U.S. Constitution.

 

Like the Constitution, this legislation is designed to create a whole new country. The bill would entirely remake our immigration system, with the explicit purpose of ensuring that criminals are able to move here, and settle here permanently, with impunity.
 

You may think we’re exaggerating for effect. We’re not – not even a little.

The New Way Forward act is the most radical single piece of legislation we’ve seen proposed in this country. It makes the Green New Deal look like the status quo.

A document produced by Democrats to promote the bill says: “Convictions … should not lead to deportation.”

Keep in mind, we’re not talking about convictions for double parking. The bill targets felony convictions – serious crimes that send you to prison for years. A press release from Rep., Jesus Garcia, D-Ill., is explicit about this.

Garcia brags that the bill will break the “prison to deportation pipeline.” How does the bill do that? Under current U.S. law, legal U.S. immigrants can be deported if they commit an “aggravated felony” or a “crime of moral turpitude” – that is, a vile, depraved act, like molesting a child. Under the New Way Forward Act, “crimes of moral turpitude” are eliminated entirely as a justification for deportation. And the category of “aggravated felony” gets circumscribed too.

What does that mean?

Consider this: Under current law, immigrants who commit serious crimes – such as robbery, fraud, or child sexual abuse – must be deported, regardless of the sentence they receive. Other crimes – less severe ones like racketeering – require deportation as long as the perpetrator receives at least a one-year sentence.

The people doing this are not benevolent folks trying to share in US prosperity and benefit the country, but people with nefarious intentions, bad people. Naturally, peace time brings complacency, which acts like a weakened immune system. And much like with a weakened immune system, opportunistic pathogens find ways to infiltrate and spread, this is the same thing. This is a serious poison that is a systemic threat to the United States as a republic.

43 co-sponsors with a list that reads as the who's-who of extreme leftist Democrats.

It's a willful misrepresentation and just a straight up lie. There's no such quote in the Act. Great journalist job, Fox.

I think you misread the sentence.  It did not say the Bill itself had that language, just that the promotional material the sponsors are using contains that verbiage.  So apparently, it is the author(s) misrepresenting their own Bill.

Oh I totally did! Thanks for catching that. But I also skimmed through the text of Act, searched for the word "deportation" and couldn't really find a part that says it. It seemed to me that it's mostly about availability of information about deportation. 

I also cannot find a link to the promotional document - would like to see that!

I agree, I did a quick search looking for that material, but did not find it.  If I find it, I will post it.

Here is the ACLU's take.

Exactly what constituency -- and whose benefit -- are these 43 Democrat cosponsors seeking to represent?

The future Democrat Socialists of America.

In other words, their echo-chamber.
