whose the one idiot Republican who voted NO on saving American lives..at least 24 Dems have enough sense to vote yes good for them
Great legislation, but I have little faith in the Senate.
The only reason Ryan let them do this is he knows the senate will kill it.
About damn time!!!
This just penalizes the illegal aliens who return after being deported...
what about the ones who come here illegally the first time...
and how about addressing them by the term our immigration law gives them...
ILLEGAL ALIENS
They are not immigrants of any sort...they don’t immigrate...
A tribute to BILL O’REILLY is due.
He’s the Man on this who brought it about.
FOX will get right on this fact, I’m sure.
Here it is...short and sweet...
A BILL
To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to increase penalties for individuals who illegally reenter the United States after being removed and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLES.
This Act may be cited as the “Stop Illegal Reentry Act” or as “Kate’s Law”.
SEC. 2. INCREASED PENALTIES FOR REENTRY OF REMOVED ALIEN.
Section 276 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1326) is amended—
(1) by redesignating subsections (c) and (d) as subsections (d) and (e), respectively;
(2) by striking subsections (a) and (b) and inserting the following:
“(a) In General.—Subject to subsections (b) and (c), any alien who—
“(1) has been denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed or has departed the United States while an order of exclusion, deportation, or removal is outstanding; and
“(2) thereafter enters, attempts to enter, or is at any time found in, the United States, unless—
“(A) prior to the alien’s reembarkation at a place outside the United States or the alien’s application for admission from foreign contiguous territory, the Secretary of Homeland Security has expressly consented to such alien’s reapplying for admission; or
“(B) with respect to an alien previously denied admission and removed, such alien shall establish that the alien was not required to obtain such advance consent under this Act or any prior Act;
shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
“(b) Criminal Penalties For Reentry Of Certain Removed Aliens.—
“(1) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding the penalty provided in subsection (a), and except as provided in subsection (c), an alien described in subsection (a)—

“(B) who has been excluded from the United States pursuant to section 235(c) because the alien was excludable under section 212(a)(3)(B) or who has been removed from the United States pursuant to the provisions of title V, and who thereafter, without the permission of the Secretary of Homeland Security, enters the United States, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, and imprisoned for a period of 10 years, which sentence shall not run concurrently with any other sentence;
“(C) who was removed from the United States pursuant to section 241(a)(4)(B) who thereafter, without the permission of the Secretary of Homeland Security, enters, attempts to enter, or is at any time found in, the United States (unless the Secretary of Homeland Security has expressly consented to such alien’s reentry) shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both; and
“(D) who has been denied admission, excluded, deported, or removed 3 or more times and thereafter enters, attempts to enter, crosses the border to, attempts to cross the border to, or is at any time found in the United States, shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both.

“(1) who was convicted before such removal or departure of an aggravated felony; or
“(2) who was convicted at least two times before such removal or departure of illegal reentry under this section;
shall be imprisoned not less than five years and not more than 20 years, and may, in addition, be fined under title 18, United States Code...
Who was the fag that voted no?
Okay, now pass a law with real teeth that makes hiring an illegal alien a Federal FELONY.
Subject any company that hires illegal aliens to Federal asset forfeiture once they’ve been convicted.
And then watch as the illegal aliens go home the next day.
I just don’t understand how anyone with children can vote against this bill.
HOORAY House Americans.
This is BS. Jessi onset should be arresting governors, mayors and the heads of any entity that intentionally break the laws vis-a-vis immigration.
From the site:
The House passed legislation on Thursday to crack down on illegal immigration and enact a key priority of President Trump’s known as “Kate’s Law.”
The sanctuary city bill passed 228-195, while the sentencing bill passed 257-167.
Three Democrats defected from their party to support taking away grants from the sanctuary localities: Reps. Matt Cartwright (Pa.), Henry Cuellar (Texas) and Collin Peterson (Minn.).
Seven Republicans voted against the bill: Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.), Carlos Curbelo (Fla.), Mario Diaz-Balart (Fla.), Dan Donovan (N.Y.), Peter King (N.Y.), Dave Reichert (Wash.) and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (Fla.).
[You folks who live in those districts, let ‘em know how you feel.]
Twenty-four Democrats voted for “Kate’s Law.” Amash was the only Republican to oppose it.
Good timing. Rest in peace, Kate.
Thank You, Jesus!
