House Republicans will vote on two anti-immigrant bills sponsored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) that will “supercharge” Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda by attacking local pro-immigrant policies, undercutting local law enforcement by making communities less safe, empowering an already out-of-control ICE, and ramping up deportations “beyond the currently outrageous levels.”

It’s draconian and reprehensible legislation that does nothing to make us safer and only scapegoats undocumented immigrant families. As one immigrant rights leader said: “Despite the costs and consequences already on display throughout the country, House Republicans are poised to put the Trump Administration’s existing cruel approach into overdrive.”

You’d think that plenty of these so-called “small government conservatives” would be steaming-mad about federal intrusion into local government, but this morning Trump’s racist mission to make America white again appeared to get a stamp of approval from Speaker Paul Ryan. Guess P90X doesn’t work on spines:

That’s just a flat-out lie. As former American Immigration Lawyers Association president David Leopold has previously outlined, these pro-immigrant policies not only follow the law, they make communities safer. Of course, this is the same Paul Ryan who told a frightened Dreamer earlier this year that if she was worried “some deportation force coming, knocking on your door this year, don't worry about that.” Care to update, Mr. Speaker?
