Nearly 200 House Dems vote against hiking criminal penalties for illegal immigrant felons
Story by Elizabeth Elkind • 19h


Nearly 200 House Democrats opposed legislation that will target criminal penalties for illegal immigrants.

A bill called the "Stop Illegal Entry Act," led by Rep. Stephanie Bice, R-Okla., is aimed at hiking penalties for both people who enter the U.S. illegally and those who commit felonies after that illegal entry. It passed the House in a 226-197 vote on Thursday, just before lawmakers left Washington for the weekend.

All 197 "no" votes were Democrats, while 11 Democrats voted with Republicans to pass the bill.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
