racer254 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 It failed along party lines in the Senate? Why did the dems vote against a law like this? Kate’s Law – named after Kate Steinle, who was fatally shot in July 2015, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had multiple felony convictions and was deported several times prior to the incident.

Capt.Storm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 (edited) The Republican-controlled Senate failed Wednesday to advance efforts to change federal immigration law -- including one to cut funding to so-called sanctuary cities. The vote was 53-44, failing to get the minimum 60 votes to begin debate on the issue. The measure attempted to block congressional funding for sanctuary cities -- municipalities that ban police from cooperating with immigration officials to potentially deport illegal immigrants. Senate Republicans also failed to get enough votes to advance their proposed Kate’s Law – named after Kate Steinle, who was fatally shot in July 2015, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had multiple felony convictions and was deported several times prior to the incident. “How many times does this have to happen?” Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey asked just before the 55-42 vote that failed along party lines. “At some point, a person needs to go to jail. That’s what Kate’s Law does.” However, Democrats strongly opposed the measures. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/07/07/senate-dems-block-votes-on-immigration-issues-including-sanctuary-cities.html Edited July 7, 2016 by Capt.Storm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 MORE INFO: Senate lawmakers on Wednesday blocked legislation aimed at stopping violent crimes committed by illegal immigrants. The "Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act" would revoke federal grants provided to so-called sanctuary cities that refuse to comply with Homeland Security requests to detain illegal immigrants. The bill is meant to put pressure on those cities to cooperate with the federal government on these issues. The bill is one of the legislative reactions to the death of Kate Steinle, who was killed on a San Francisco pier by an illegal immigrant. After her death, city officials defended their decision not to cooperate with federal authorities on deporting illegal immigrants. While Republicans say those sorts of incidents show the government needs to put more pressure on sanctuary cities to follow federal guidance, Democrats disagree, and they helped scuttle the bill in the Senate. Republicans needed 60 votes to let the bill advance in a 53-44 vote. Stay abreast of the latest developments from nation's capital and beyond with curated News Alerts from the Washington Examiner news desk and delivered to your inbox. Democrats have said the bill is anti-immigrant and would hurt local communities. Civil rights groups have lobbied Democrats to oppose the bills, arguing they would damage the ability of police to build trust with immigrant communities. Democrats also blocked a second related bill, the "Stop Illegal Reentry Act," which would require mandatory minimum sentences standards for those who have been deported and then come back into the United States illegally and are convicted of an aggravated felony. The bill is named after Steinle, and was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. "Congress must prevent cities from harboring illegal aliens, and it must hold this administration accountable for its failure, if not its outright refusal, to enforce federal immigration laws and ensure the safety and security of the American people," Cruz said. But Democrats disagreed, and again shut down the bill in a procedural vote that failed to get 60 votes, 55-42. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/senate-dems-block-sanctuary-city-kates-law-legislation/article/2595762 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
