House Passes Bill To Deport Migrants Who Assault Police Officers
Based on the provided text, here is a paraphrased summary in seven paragraphs under 250 words.
The Republican-led House of Representatives has passed a bill called the Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act. The legislation mandates the federal government to detain and deport any undocumented immigrant who assaults a police officer.
The bill passed with a vote of 265 to 148. While most Democrats opposed it, 54 Democrats joined the Republicans in supporting the measure.
The bill’s lead sponsor, Republican Rep. Jeff Van Drew, stated there is no reason for an undocumented immigrant who attacks law enforcement to remain in the country. He argued such individuals show zero respect for American rule of law.
Following the vote, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer criticized Democrats. He accused the party of protecting violent immigrants over brave law enforcement officers.
The article then shifts to a recent CNN poll that surprised data analyst Harry Enten. Despite economic headlines, the Republican Party maintains a significant lead over Democrats on economic issues.
Enten noted that Republicans hold an 8-point advantage when asking which party is closest to voters’ economic views. He expressed astonishment, given recent economic debates and stock market volatility.
This trend is confirmed by other polls, including Reuters/Ipsos, which shows the Republican advantage on the economy has grown to 12 points. Enten concluded this points to a significant and persistent Democratic problem on a key electoral issue.
