\"U.S.Senate Democrats led the charge today in protecting the status quo<\/i> and turning their backs on public safety with two important procedural votes that have killed two immigration enforcement bills, both in honor of Kate Steinle.\u00a0 Steinle is the California woman who was killed last year by an illegal alien with seven convictions and five deportations.\u00a0 Both bills required 60 votes to proceed to the floor of the Senate for consideration.\u00a0 The first bill, The \u201cStop Dangerous Sanctuary Cities Act,\u201d (S. 3100), introduced by Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA), would have allowed the federal government to withhold funds from sanctuary cities.\u00a0 It lost by a vote of 53 to 44, with only Democratic Senators Joe Donnelly and Joe Manchin having the courage to choose protecting Americans over partisan politics.\u00a0 The second vote prevented discussion on the merits of \u201cStop Illegal Reentry Act,\u201d also known as Kate\u2019s Law, sponsored by Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R).\u00a0 The bill, which lost by a vote of 55 to 42, would have instituted mandatory minimum sentences for illegal reentry into the country. Those voting against either or both measures are listed below:<\/p>\n
