Kirsten usually does pretty well, she’s one of the smarter liberals. She has more functional brain cells than Geraldo and Juan Williams put together, but this time she was wrong and made herself look bad.
If she was in the shoes of Ms Steinle’s family, I’m sure she would feel much differently. Until then she seems to think a criminal illegal with 7 felony convictions should just be let loose to roam the streets.
And by the way the idea behind Kate’s Law, if I understand it, is not to put repeat illegal immigrants in jail, it’s directed at illegal immigrants with felony convictions who are deported then come back. So if an illegal immigrant is convicted of a felony and deported, comes back to the US afterward, is immediately subject to 5 years. Just for being here after being deported. Second time 10 years. So far several senators are getting behind it, including Cruz. I can’t remember who originally agreed to write it. They’re trying to write it so sit leaves very little wiggle room. They have to these days, groups like the ACLU, which is against it, will find every tiny loophole.
I thought I’d add that since some people seem to be confused about Kate’s Law, thinking it applies to all illegal immigrants. No, just convicted criminals, I think just felons.
Someone is also trying to get some support behind a bill to force sanctuary cities to obey immigration laws, by cutting federal funding.
That’s my understanding, too. We will have to see when the text is published. BUT sanctuary cities flaunt the immigration Laws. Period.
Flaunt should be flout........too late to be typing on Fr.

I think it was Tuesday evening that O’Rielly said he had tons of signatures supporting the Kate Law. He said he had been talking with several members in Congress about it and was planning to go before a committee in Congress to discuss the whole thing.
