Speaker, I thank the gentleman, a fellow prosecutor and
a passionate advocate for these issues, for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, in the summer of 2015, 32-year-old Kate Steinle was
gunned down by an illegal immigrant who had been deported five times
already. Kate's Law, introduced by Chairman Bob Goodlatte, would enhance the
penalties on illegal immigrant felons who are deported and then
returned unlawfully to the United States. This legislation passed the House with 257 votes, a bipartisan
coalition of Members who simply want to keep violent felons out of the
United States. This bill has been stuck in the Senate for 127 days.
