It really should be called the ‘Kate Steinle’ Act ....
It really should be. It would be easier to pass it was called Kate’s Law.
It will be easier for Obama to veto it if the media is calling it Trump’s Law.
That’s the Session bill in the senate “Protecting American Lives Act” (Kates Law)
Kate’s Law is one section in the entire larger bill
Kate’s law has to do with felons receiving 5 years for re entering after deportation. The bill itself contains sections defending cities who do not enforce laws in book
If 0 vetoes it he will be breaking his oath of office of upholding the laws of the USA & set up grounds for impeachment.(possible treason]
Pelosi started calling the House bill the Trump Law. The Session bill in the Senate is Kates Law.
The real question is who are the 5 GOP a-holes that voted no ???
Obama will be playing right into Trump's hand when (not if) he vetoes this bill.
The American people (by about 70%) are livid about illegal immigration destroying our country. For Obama to stop the federal government from enforcing the laws on the books, will give Trump even more ammo to condemn the left over this issue, and even further force the hand of Congress to do something about it.
Trump's numbers will be boosted even higher by the outrage among the public.
As someone mentioned upthread, Obama would be violating his oath of office to see that the laws of the United States are faithfully upheld. He could (technically) be impeached for that, which you can bet, will not be missed by Trump.
