(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, recently introduced a bill, H.R. 61, that would criminalize white people speaking out against illegal immigration, Red State reported.
Lee’s radical anti-white bill immediately made waves on Twitter.

“Congressman Sheila Jackson Lee just introduced a bill that would make it a federal crime for White people, and White people only, to criticize mass immigration or to say anything that she claims would vilify “a non-White person or group,” the National Conservative tweeted.
The bill, were it to pass, would carve out a new type of crime, a “white supremacy-inspired hate crime,” which the bill defines very broadly as an instance in which “white supremacy ideology has motivated the planning, development, preparation, or perpetration of actions that constituted a crime or were undertaken in furtherance of activity that, if effectuated, would have constituted a crime.”
Its explicitly stated purpose is “to prevent and prosecute white supremacy inspired hate crime and conspiracy to commit white supremacy inspired hate crime and to amend title 18, United States Code, to expand the scope of hate crimes.”
In other words, it is a leftist attempt to redefine “hate crimes” to include the activities of white people, including social media posts or public messages promoting “replacement theory”, or “hate speech that vilifies or is otherwise directed against any non-White person or group.”
The new powers would fall under the interpretative authority of the politicized Department of Justice, which “shall have the authority to investigate, intercede, and undertake other actions that it deems necessary and appropriate to interdict, mitigate, or prevent such action from culminating in violent activity.”
If the law were to pass, white people would no longer be permitted to criticize any minority or minority-oriented group, such as Black Lives Matter, without a high likelihood of being charged with a hate crime.
