SANCTUARY CITIES ARE REALLY NOTHIN’ MORE THAN SHIT MAGNETS…

Apparently all four of those now at least claiming to Democrat candidates for president in 2016 have not the least bit of trouble condoning the behavior of these sanctuary cities that continues to place the lives of American citizen in danger.  A fact that was once again pointed out the recent senseless death of a young woman.   This very controversial policy, to say the least, is being blamed for the recent release of a five times-deported illegal alien who murdered a woman in broad daylight in San Francisco.  You couldn’t pay to live in one of these cities that are essentially nothing more than shit magnets that attract all manner of scum in this country illegally.

It was as a senator from New York that Hitlery Clinton, now the proclaimed 2016 Democrat frontrunner, twice made public statements backing sanctuary cities.  In 2008, she and two of her present-day Democrat 2016 candidates, Bernie Sanders, a proud socialist, and Jim Webb, then all sitting U.S. Senators, voted against an amendment that would have blocked federal funds from going to sanctuary cities.  And just last year, as governor of Maryland, it was Marty O’Malley who announced that the Baltimore city jail would stop honoring requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to hold illegal aliens until they could be deported.

These idiotic, and essentially illegal, sanctuary city policies, are now on the books in about 140 cities.  And they are apparently, not that we can expect any changes to occur I’m quite sure, now coming under scrutiny following Wednesday’s shooting death of 32-year-old San Francisco resident Kate Steinle.  Ms. Steinle was simply out for a walk on Pier 14 with her father and a friend when 45-year-old Francisco Sanchez shot her.  The Mexican national, who was last deported in 2009 and had a rap sheet that included seven felonies, was in ICE custody as recently as March following an arrest for felony re-entry.  And yet he was able to murder this young woman.

ICE turned Sanchez over to the San Francisco sheriff’s department which had a warrant on him for a drug charge.  At that time, ICE placed a detainer request asking to be notified before Sanchez’s release so that he could be taken back into federal custody and be deported.  But because of San Francisco’s sanctuary city policies, the sheriff’s department declined to honor ICE’s request because San Francisco hands over illegal aliens at its own discretion.  So despite numerous past felonies and deportations, this shitbag, Sanchez, was released back onto the streets in April because he did not have a felony charge pending against him at the time.

Now the last time Hitlery weighed in publicly on sanctuary cities was during the 2008 presidential campaign.  It was Tim Russert who, during a Sept. 6, 2007 debate at Dartmouth College, asked Hitlery, “You would allow the sanctuary cities to disobey the federal law?”  To which she responded by saying, “Well, I don’t think there is any choice.”  So there is a choice whether or not cities must obey federal laws?   Hitlery said she backed the sanctuary city concept because without it, illegal immigrants refuse to cooperate with police because they are afraid of being deported.  Now there’s a typically progressive type answer for ya.

And she went on to justify her cockamamie idea, by saying, “Local law enforcement has a different job than federal immigration enforcement.”  Hitlery added, “The problem is the federal government has totally abdicated its responsibility.” And Hitlery again expressed her support for sanctuary cities in a 2008 interview with Fox’s Bill O’Reilly when she was asked, “Are you going to crack down on the sanctuary cities?”  She again responded saying, “No, I’m not.”  And Hitlery has now moved even further to the left on immigration policy since her last presidential bid.  She has also said she wants to expand on Barry’s far-left immigration policies.

Jessica Vaughan, a policy director at the Center for Immigration Studies, said, “Hillary Clinton’s recent public statements indicate that she intends to outdo the Obama administration in dismantling immigration laws, so there is good reason to be concerned that this problem would get worse under a Clinton administration, and that more local governments would either be encouraged or coerced into obstructing ICE.” She added, “I would expect another Clinton administration to stoop to the same kind of legal hi-jinks, abuse of authority, disregard of safety and security, and then evasion of accountability, much as we witnessed when she was Secretary of State.”

So far, only one presidential candidate has weighed in on Steinle’s murder.  And that is, of course, ‘The Donald.’  It was Trump who wrote on Twitter, “Where are the other candidates now that this tragic murder has taken place b/c of our unsafe border.”  Well apparently, or so it would seem, all but Mr. Trump haven’t got the guts to say what so obviously needs to be said about how it is that this scumbag came to have the opportunity to murder this woman whose only crime was to be out for a walk with her father.  Now I would expect to hear nothing coming from the Democrats, but it’s disappointing not hear much more from the Republicans.

So apparently it is in the rather bizarro world of progressive Democrat politics that it becomes simply a matter of choice as to whether or not a particular locale must actually enforce federal laws.  Now of course the rationale for doing so must be in complete agreement, or directly correlate, with the stated Democrat position on whatever issue it is that may be involved.  Which means, of course, that as long as it’s in any way whatsoever related to drug use or illegal immigration then local governments are free to ignore federal laws if they so choose.  And, apparently, that’s just fine with all of the current 2016 Democrat candidates.
