Senators Reintroduce ‘Sarah’s Law’ On Anniversary Of Sarah Root’s Death

It has been three years since Sarah Root was struck and killed in Omaha by Edwin Mejia, who entered the country illegally and was driving drunk.

On Thursday, the anniversary of of her death, Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, along with Senators Chuck Grassley, Ben Sasse, Deb Fischer and eleven of their colleagues, re-introduced legislation in honor of Sarah. The legislation, aptly named Sarah’s Law, would allow federal law enforcement to detain illegal immigrants criminally charged with killing or seriously injuring another person.

Following his arrest for Motor Vehicle Homicide, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement declined to issue a detainer on Mejia. Subsequently, he posted bond, fled the country and still remains at-large.

The legislation would require ICE to make efforts to identify and provide relevant information to the crime victims or their families. Under this law, Mejia would have been detained by law enforcement and not allowed to flee from justice and the Root family would have been kept up-to-date on Mejia’s status.

No brainer.  But guess where the opposition to this legislation will come from?

Average rate of murders by white males is way higher. Immigrants bring the average crime rate down.

Well just to be clear – by “immigrants” you mean those who enter the U.S. illegally. News flash: thats a crime. So the first thing these “immigrants” do is to commit a crime, which looney lefty logic posits that that brings the crime rate down.  And then the myriad ways the ‘immigrants’ continue to commit crimes further brings the average crime rate down.

Are you playing commy calvin-ball?

News flash, the crime of entering the U.S. illegally is on the same level as a traffic violation.  So if you’ve ever driven over the speed limit you are just as much of a criminal as an immigrant crossing the border illegally.  Oh, and that does not include those immigrants crossing the border seeking asylum.  That is not illegal though in your head up your ass manner I’m sure you wish it were.
