Jose Garcia Zarate Acquitted in Death of Kate Steinle
The acquittal on second degree murder charges in the Kate Steinle trial is indeed a black mark for America. The illegal alien who killed the 32 year old woman, Jose Zarate, received every benefit of the doubt from the jury, which did not even know that Zarate had a long criminal history and had been deported five times.
 
That’s because evidence not directly tied in to the actual shooting was excluded.
 
I said last night that Attorney General Sessions now has to charge Zarate with felony violations of immigration law. That despicable man, convicted of numerous felonies, should serve serious time in a federal prison. I expect the Justice Department will do that.
 
Of course Congress should have passed Kate’s Law a long time ago. Any foreign national who returns to the USA after being deported should be incarcerated. Period.
 
The reason Kate’s Law is not on the books is because former Senator Harry Reid killed it when the Democrats controlled the Senate, and Republican Senator Mitch McConnell would not introduce the legislation as a stand alone bill. These two men sabotaged a desperately needed law.
 
Throughout this horror, the Steinle family has been heroic. How much anguish they’ve suffered! What a disgrace that something like this could happen in America.
 
Please pray for that family.
