It was embarrassing. Mr. Speaker, as a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, I have
heard countless stories from families who, like the Steinles, have
fallen victim to heinous crimes because of the failure
to enforce our Nation's immigration laws. We can and must do better to
protect all the Kate Steinles all across America from being victimized
by undocumented criminals who should never have been here in the first
place. I really can't emphasize enough how important this issue is, and H.R.
3004 will help address this problem finally and enhance public safety
by toughening the penalties for criminal aliens who have been deported
from our country, but then keep returning to the United States, and,
again, far too many of them who commit crimes against innocent
Americans like Kate Steinle.
