As we predicted here on The Factor, Democrats in the Senate blocked a vote on Kate's Law today. That is the bill that would impose a mandatory five-year prison sentence on any illegal immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony who is deported and then returns after being deported. Five years mandatory. The reason the Democrats blocked Kate's Law is that it was attached to defunding sanctuary [is a term that is applied by some to cities in the United States or Canada that have policies designed to not prosecute illegal aliens] cities which the left does not want to do. Foolishly, instead of simply voting straight up on Kate's Law, the senate put both pieces of legislation together. Everybody knew that would doom the vote. Everybody knew it. Yet the Republican leadership did it anyway. That's what makes Americans furious with the political system in Washington.

Senator Reid, the poster boy for anarchy, could not care less about the death of Kate Steinle -- could not care less. All he cares about is complete amnesty for undocumented immigrants. That's it.

It's obvious many Americans are fed up with politics as usual and want to crush the current system. Both Trump and Carson support Kate's Law and would not play games with it. There comes a point where the American people are going to have to take back their government when a 32-year-old woman can be gunned down by an illegal felon who had been deported five times, and you can't get a strict law punishing illegal alien felons passed? When that happens, you don't have a functioning government. It's hard to believe but the far left in America actively opposes Kate's Law. Recent editorial in the New York Times actually sympathize with the man charged with killing Kate, quote, "Mr. Lopez Sanchez was a homeless man with drug convictions but no record of violent crime. The bullet he fired was found to have ricocheted off the pier, suggesting that he had not targeted anyone. The suggestion that it was a horrific accident could well be true," unquote. Well, here's the truth. Juan Lopez Sanchez was convicted of seven felonies in the U.S.A. including selling hard drugs. He was deported five times. He came back six times. He broke into a car in San Francisco. He stole a gun. He recklessly fired that gun in a public place. And Kate Steinle died. Yet, he is portrayed as a homeless man who just might have committed an accident. It's unbelievable -- unbelievable is too gentle a word.
