BREAKING: House Passes Kate's Law/Immigration Law Against Sanctuary Cities

[SISTERV 3,887]

In a 257 to 157 vote, the House has passed Kate's Law. Kate's Law is named for Kate Steinle, a San Francisco woman killed by an illegal immigrant who was in the U.S. despite multiple deportations. The two-year anniversary of her death is on Saturday. 

House Republicans took action Thursday to crack down on illegal immigrants and the cities that shelter them.

One bill passed by the House would deny federal grants to sanctuary cities and another, Kate’s Law, would increase the penalties for deported aliens who try to return to the United States.

The other bill, which would deny federal grants to sanctuary cities, passed with a vote of 228-195 with 3 Democrats voting yes and 7 Republicans voting no.

The brutal murder of Steinle catapulted the issue of illegal criminal aliens into the national spotlight. Alleged shooter Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez had been deported five times and had seven felony convictions.

What law can be passed against racist white people because they are more likely to shoot up black churches?

 This really isn't about any specific race. Like...if you are Canadian and here illegally you will get deported.

Right sis....that's why that huge wall between Canada and the US will get built soon. Wait was Trump talking about both bordering countries or just the racists and murders from Mexico?

Can you put this thread in World News? 

The election is over.

This law is a Trojan horse of racism and xenophobia disguised as justice.

 

Look up the rates of internal violent occurrences vs those initiated by someone from another country. 

 

Deplorable

These laws are xenophobia in disguise. That is a FACT. White American conservatives are the biggest threat to democracy. 

Kate's Law I'm not against exactly but I am against how it may be used to perpertuate fear and hatred against undocumented people. 

The sanctuary city one though... I hope my city fights against it like they have for similar things at the state level.

There is already examples of what happens with stricter immigration laws. 

This story is from 2011. So it was before all this election bias.
