Donald is dropping some law-and-order on Bill and Barack.
Trump is the law and order President. Unfortunately, laws under Clinton and Obama have made America less safe,
The Clinton crime bill was one of the worst laws passed in American history. The bill put thousands of nonviolent offenders in jailand conspired to remove fathers from the home.
The Democrats then had a surefire way to get single mothers addicted to welfare so they could vote Democrat.
The bill did nothing to actually help lower crime. It only forced prisons to accommodate thousands of new inmates, leaving little space to take in the criminals who needed to be there.
But Trump is signing on to a bill from Congress to change that legacy.
From Fox News:
From a man who was sentenced to life after stealing $150 worth of videotapes to an offender sentenced for shoplifting a jacket worth $159, new prison reform tries to overhaul the controversial “three strikes” law that led to people spending their life in prison for petty crimes.
President Trump on Wednesday announced his support for a bipartisan reform of federal sentencing guidelines, an ambitious effort to fix a punitive, decades-old justice system.
The First Step Act, which will still need to pass the Senate, will overhaul the country’s criminal justice sentencing for the first time in a generation and support rehabilitation efforts for federal prisoners…

The “three strikes” law has ruined the lives of thousands of African-American men. Criminals do deserve consequences for breaking the law, but not life sentences for nonviolent crimes.
We need common-sense prison reform, and we finally have a President who can get things done and is willing to find bipartisan solutions, something the Parties talk about but rarely do.
“We’re all better off when former inmates can receive and re-enter society as law-abiding, productive citizens,” Trump said. “And thanks to our booming economy, they now have a chance at more opportunities than they’ve ever had before.”
The President was reportedly inspired to pass this bill by Jared Kushner. The President’s son-in-law understands how harsh the criminal justice system is all too well.
Charles Kushner, Jared’s father, had to serve time in prison for nonviolent crimes like tax evasion.
When men who steal lives get 17 years but a guy stealing videos gets life, you know our criminal justice system is deeply broken. Now our prisons will be freed up, and more dangerous criminals can be taken off the streets.
