You can tell just how serious Congress is in passing Kate’s Law (jailing previously deported illegal felons) five years if they return to this country. They were so concerned when the families of Kate Steinle and Sabine Durden gave their testimony today that some fell asleep while others just jerked around playing with their cell phones. One the Republican side of the committee, you have amnesty pushers like Orrin Hatch, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn and Jeff Flake.
Among the Democrats they are all filth from Ranking Member Pat Leahy, Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Al Franken, Dick Durbin and Richard Blumenthal.

“The hardest part for me was to watch some of the Congress members falling asleep and some of them were doing whatever they did on their phones,” she said. “There were a few that paid attention, because people were pouring their hearts out, and our lives have been shattered. They sit there and participate in it and don’t even have enough decency to just sit there and look at us.”
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley told TheDC he could not speak to Durden’s claim, because he was primarily focused on the families and not the other members. However, Grassley did say that members do react to e-mails and texts from staff indicating when action on an amendment, for example, of theirs is happening on the floor.
The hearing was called after 32-year-old Kate Steinle was allegedly killed in San Francisco July 1 by Mexican illegal Francisco Sanchez. Media attention surrounding the case skyrocketed as a result of Republican presidential candidate’s Donald Trump’s focus on the issue.
“It’s unbelievable to see so many innocent Americans that have been killed by undocumented immigrant felons in recent years,” Kate’s father Jim Steinle told lawmakers
Durden, a legal immigrant from Germany who became a U.S. citizen in 1993, lost her son Dominic in 2012 when an illegal alien from Guatemala, Juan Zacarias Tzun, smashed his truck into him while Dominic, a police department dispatcher, was riding on his motorcycle to work in Moreno Valley, Calif.
