On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) defended his vote against the Laken Riley Act by stating that “people are going to be targeted because they’re brown.”
Host Chris Hayes asked, “[T]here’s a sort of a test of this happening now with this piece of legislation that would essentially make larger the category of immigrants who are here undocumented without status who can be put into the deportation queue if arrested, not convicted, for a set of category of crimes. So, it enlargens that. It also, in a more — well, a part that a lot of Democrats are very focused on, it gives state A.G.s unprecedented power to essentially intervene in immigration court proceedings. [37] Democrats voted for this piece of legislation sponsored by Republicans. It just passed over cloture, 8[4]-9. You voted against it. Why, and do you think it’s an ominous sign that this is getting Democratic votes?”

Swalwell would rather have young white girls targeted by illegal rapist murderers.

Still not as disgusting as Scott Hayes and MSNBC.
He purposefully sought out (1) a negative vote and (2) Swalwell to highlight how the bill (that PASSED) damaged some protected/preferred group (violent illegal immigrants).
No part of the story was utilized to speak to the actual GOOD such a bill will do.

“Swalwell: Laken Riley Act Means ‘People Are Going to Be Targeted Because They’re Brown’”
We can only hope so, as that is the first step towards deportation of those not here legally.

Always hiding behind the old racism trope. They got nothing else. No legitimate reason, just the old race card.

Instead of being targeted, because you’re white.

He’s controlled by China, so these are probably the words of the CCP.

“people are going to be targeted because they’re brown.”
Too bad the illegal didn’t stop and think, If I kill this girl, I might cause other illegals to be targeted.
