With respect. I would note that the only overreaching rhetoric that has been heard on this floor has come from the Democratic leader. suggesting somehow that targeting violent criminals is targeting all immigrants. It is worth noting that Kates Law addresses only aggravated felons. So the suggestion of the senior Senator from California that we should not assume aggravated felons are criminals is a statement that. on its face. makes no sense. They are by definition. It is only the violent criminalsthe aggravated felonsthat this is targeted to. I will say I am encouraged. though. that the senior Senator from California stated she would become interested in the Judiciary Committee taking this up.
