Thread: US Congress Could Vote New Laws against Illegal Aliens

Cruz's 'Kate's Law,' named for S.F. woman killed by illegal alien, stalls in senate

DemoQuacks will try to block all immigration enforcement legislation in the Senate. They have to be lobbied and Trump Twitter Shamed.

Trump will not only go to Twitter on these bills, he'll go to the microphone on these bills, he'll hold a Rally to push these bills through the Senate. He is so sick of the Senate. He's hot and ready to shame these stupid obstructionists into action for our country.

I can see the first Tweet, "Hey, Chuck Schumer, no tears for Kate or Jamiel or the many other American victims of illegal immigration? Shameful!!" Or McCain, "Hey, John McCain, where's your Gang of Eight Buddies for Americans? We need cloture on these bills. Get your DemoQuack Pals in line to support American Interests why don't you?" Or, "Hey, Senate, you vote 97 to 2 to sanction Russia for a political Hoax, but you refuse to give Americans 60 votes for cloture on Kate's Law? REALLY? Disgusting."

I think this is a battle Trump can't wait to fight and win.

‘Kate’s Law,’ ‘Sanctuary City De-funding’ Bills Going to House Vote

House passes Kate’s Law, as part of illegal immigrant crackdown

House passes bills to crack down on ‘sanctuary cities’ and deported criminals

I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but getting both of these through the U.S. Senate will be a serious uphill climb. Honestly, I can't imagine eight Democrats crossing the aisle to vote 'yea' on a Trump initiative on immigration. However, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope eight Democrats fear their constituents worse than they do Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

Here's what happend last time these bills went through the U.S. Senate:

Senate Democrats Block Kate’s Law and Bill Cracking Down on Sanctuary Cities

25712

by CAROLINE MAY6 Jul 201669

Senate Democrats successfully blocked legislation to crack down on sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants who re-enter the United States.

Wednesday, the Senate voted 53-44 on Sen. Pat Toomey’s (R-PA) “Stop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act” and 55-42 on Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) “Kate’s Law.” Each bill needed 60 votes to advance.

Both bills were inspired by the murder of Kathryn Steinle, who was killed a year ago by a five-time deported illegal immigrant a long felony rap sheet. Steinle’s killer had been in police custody but was released months before her death due San Francisco’s sanctuary policy of ignoring immigration detainers. The murder sparked a national outcry over sanctuary cities and criminal aliens in the U.S.

Toomey’s legislation would have withheld certain federal funds from jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration officials, also known as sanctuary cities.

“Despite the support of a bipartisan majority, the Senate has once again failed to act on a critical public safety issue,” Toomey said, following the vote. “Sanctuary cities are Orwellian in their logic — they give extra protection to dangerous criminals, just because they happen to be in the country illegally. This is a dangerous injustice that must be stopped, and I will continue to fight it.”

Cruz’s bill would have increased the maximum penalty on illegal immigrants who re-enter the U.S. illegally and it would have imposed a mandatory minimum sentence of five years on criminal aliens who reenter following a deportation.

“All Americans, regardless of Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, all Americans deserve to be protected, and we need a government that stops allowing violent illegal aliens to prey on the innocents,” Cruz said on the Senate floor in advance of the vote.

He continued, “If our Democratic colleagues make the choice to put politics over protecting innocent Americans, by refusing to enforce our immigration laws, the consequences of that are immense. Doing so is quite literally playing with people’s lives.”

Just heard Lou Dobbs say that both of these bills have a zero chance of passing in the Senate. He is calling for McConnell to change the rules and allow a simple majority to pass both bills.

If Republicans hold together, I think West Virginia's 2 Senators will vote with US. Maybe some others like Claire McCaskill from Missouri.

That still leaves us short of 60.
