Democrat Oregon Rep. Janelle Bynum compared the Republican-led immigration bill to the Fugitive Slave Act of Thursday, 1850, and opposed the House floor law.
House Republicans passed the Agent Raul Gonzalez Safety Act on Thursday with a vote of 264-155, citing either fleeing or harming Border Patrol agents and law enforcement officers during high-speed vehicles. We intend to expel any illegal immigrants that may be exterminated. Bynum said laws seeking to protect border patrol agents and other US law enforcement agencies are similar to a series of federal laws that allow enslaved people who fled to free states to be captured and reverted. He insisted.
“I urge my colleagues to oppose HR 35. Let’s call this bill what it is. This bill was one of the darkest chapters in our country’s history, in 1850. We’re repeating the Fugitive Slave Act,” Bynum said. “Like that shameful law, HR 35 forces the authorities, encourages Landos to do federal work and punish them if they refuse. At the time, it dared to seek freedom. We hunted people. Today we are forcing local police to become federal enforcers.” (Related: Oops! Democrats will ultimately help Trump deportation.
