Why Do Liberals Oppose Max Prison Time For Repeat Illegal Border Crossers, Like Kate's Murderer?

GOP taking one more run at passing Kate’s Law - Hot Air

"Republicans are going on the offensive with “Kate’s Law,” seeking to fulfill one of President Trump’s most high-profile promises while putting Democrats on defense over illegal immigration…

Now, Republicans are working on legislation to impose a mandatory five-year minimum prison sentence for immigrants who have twice been charged with illegally re-entering the country or have prior aggravated felony convictions."

"It became an issue in Pat Toomey’s Senate race last year in a sign that the Democrats were still ready to play hardball over it. Last July it made it as far as a vote for cloture, but the measure failed. You can read the full list of votes here, but all of the Nays came from the Democrats plus Angus King and Bernie Sanders."


WHY are Democrats more concerned with protecting violent illegals than protecting American citizens? Are Democrats once again going to vote down this bill in the name of political partisanship and in adhering to their vow of complete commitment to Obstructionism against Trump and the GOP?

Yeah, THAT ought to help reverse that trend of 1,000+ lost elections and back-to-back historic record-setting major election losses.

Why should my tax dollars go to pay for some border crosser to be in prison?

So you support summary executions?

agree with RightWinger and his comment in his post number 2 . Maybe send the murderer somewhere in the uncharted amazon or tip of Peru but why give him / them the easy taxpayer paid life in a USA prison .

Its simple. They want their votes; or for now, at least the votes of the illegal aliens' relatives already in the country---which are numerous---since that turd & traitor Obama spend the last 8 year undermining rather than enforcing our laws, the ones he swore to faithfully execute.

They mean to turn Texas into a Blue State, like they did California....and then Carl Marx will get one last run at his idea of equally shared misery; this time in the Country that Jeffersonian Ideals of hard work and merit turned into the greatest society the world has ever seen.

Fuck every Democrat; they are all Bolsheviks-in-Waiting, most too half-witted to realize it.

And also Fuck the Pussy Republicans who are supposed to be putting a stop to this Marxist Coup, but are merely spineless bastards who think of nothing but raising the money to buy re-election.

course this KATES murderer is just a little problem . The big problem is taking care of all the border jumpers that have gotten into the USA if in prison or in other subsidized housing anywhere in the USA .

Illegal immigration across the southwest border dropped yet again in April, with the number of illegal immigrant children fallen below 1,000 for the first time in recent records, Homeland Security announced Tuesday.


The numbers are part of a stunning drop since the beginning of the Trump administration. Border Patrol apprehensions alone are down a shocking 70 percent compared to last year under President Obama.

Great Again: Illegal Border Crossings Down 70%

According to the Department of Homeland Security:

* ICE has arrested more than 41,000 individuals who are either known or suspected of being in the country illegally. This reflects an increase of 37.6 percent over the same period in 2016.

* Nearly 75 percent of those arrested during this period in 2017 are convicted criminals, with offenses ranging from homicide and assault to sexual abuse and drug-related charges.

* The arrest of aliens at-large in the community increased by more than 50 percent.

* The arrest of convicted illegal immigrants climbed nearly 20 percent

* The arrest of non-criminal illegal immigrants rose 150 percent, to 10,800 since the beginning of the year compared to 4,200 in the same period in 2016.

ICE arrests under Trump jump 40 percent as border crossings drop

So significant progress is already being made.

The bill does not specifically target violent offenders, and that is why is has not passed.

Why should my tax dollars go to pay for all the costs associated with illegals? Maybe we should be allowed to operate as a sovereign nation and control our borders and illegal immigration.
