Supporter of Kate’s Law, which would crack down on repeat deportees who re-enter the country illegally.
Support Kate’s Law to increase penalties for repeat deportees who re-enter the United States illegally.
Occurrences
S.1757 included Kate's Law and increased penalties for reentry of removed aliens.
S.2146 - Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act
Evidence
Roll Call Vote 120 on S. 2193 (Kate's Law): Cornyn (R-TX) voted Yea; the measure sought to increase penalties for individuals who illegally reenter the United States after being removed.
Assessments
Cornyn materially supported Kate's Law in the Senate by voting yea on the 2016 cloture vote for S. 2193, which matched the promise to support the measure's tougher penalties for repeat illegal reentry.
