Texas Senator John Cornyn and Representative Morgan Luttrell have introduced bills that would make it easier for federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty against undocumented immigrants convicted of killing U.S. citizens. The proposed legislation aims to codify and expand upon a previous executive order from former President Donald Trump. Supporters argue the measure is necessary to deter violent crime by migrants, while critics warn it could lead to discrimination and raise legal and ethical concerns. The bills reflect ongoing debates over immigration policy and criminal justice in the United States. The proposals are likely to spark significant controversy and debate in Congress.
This is a disgusting attempt to scapegoat immigrants and double down on a cruel, failed justice system instead of addressing the real issues behind crime and immigration.
Wow, this is honestly horrifying. Pushing for the death penalty specifically for undocumented immigrants isn’t about justice—it’s just another way to scapegoat and dehumanize people who are already marginalized. It’s not like the justice system doesn’t already have enough racial bias, and moves like this just make it even worse. If lawmakers actually cared about reducing crime, they’d focus on real reforms and community support, not draconian punishments. This is just fear-mongering and political theater, and it’s dangerous for everyone.
It’s about time our lawmakers start putting America first and holding illegal immigrants fully accountable for their crimes—this is exactly the kind of tough action we need!
Giving the government more power to execute people, especially based on immigration status, is exactly the kind of big-government overreach libertarians should be fighting against.
