Will Kate's Law Pass in Washington?
September 29, 2015

You may remember that 32-year-old Kate Steinle was murdered in San Francisco, allegedly by an illegal alien criminal who had been deported five times.

The man, 45-year-old Juan Sanchez, will stand trial for second-degree murder.  He has pleaded not guilty.

The case is outrageous because the alleged killer had seven previous felony convictions in America and the government couldn't keep him out of the country.

So The Factor has proposed a new law that would stop the madness.

We call it Kate's Law after Ms. Steinle, and it has been endorsed by her parents and brother.

There are three versions of the law currently being debated in Washington.

But the only one that has a chance of passing is this:

Any illegal alien convicted of an aggravated felony who is deported and returns to the USA would face a mandatory five-year prison sentence at the very least.

If the words “aggravated felony” are not included in the law, Democrats en masse will vote against it and even if it did pass, President Obama would veto it.

But by narrowing the law down to the worst offenders and not house painters who sneak across the border, it makes it very difficult for liberals to oppose the law, even though some would.

If the aggravated felony Kate's Law does not pass, this country is hopeless.

It's as simple as that.

Now most fair-minded Americans support the law because it not only punishes dangerous foreign criminals, but it gives law enforcement the tools to break up foreign gangs.

Many of their members have aggravated felony convictions and have been deported.

So drug gangs from Mexico and El Salvador, for example, would be decimated by federal authorities -- and quickly.

If any politician voted against Kate's Law, they could have problems.

I mean how crazy would you have to be to vote against a law that protects Americans from violent foreign criminals and allows authorities to break up violent gangs?

Again, if this law does not pass, it's a hopeless situation in Washington, D.C.

Now, I have talked with some congressmen and senators who are shaping the law and no one has disagreed with me on the telephone.

I am confident this law with the help of Senator Grassley and a number of congressmen will get to the voting floors soon.

If that does not happen, I'll tell you exactly why and who is screwing things up.

The bigger picture here is that Americans are furious that our elected officials cannot do the right thing quickly.

That's why Donald Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina have attracted so much attention.

Americans are tired of zombie politicians like Nancy Pelosi, who I believe would vote against Kate's Law.

Recently she made an outrageous statement about the videos showing Planned Parenthood discussing the sale of baby body parts.

NANCY PELOSI:  “I don't stipulate that these videos are real.  And the fact is -- and fact is that the research that is being criticized there is research that has been supported.  Now, I haven't seen -- I've seen some news reports of it, but I also know that it's not real and you can create any reality that you want.”

And you should know, congresswoman, because you could not care less about what's real.  You didn't even see the videos, yet somehow you know they are a fabrication.

That's the kind of thing that drives American voters up the wall.

And that's the kind of thing that has to be stopped.

And that's the memo.
