For Kate and America's Sake, Don't Let Them Get Away with It

From The American Thinker Blog:

For my relatives who only get mainstream media spin, here is what's really going on: an illegal alien shot and killed complete stranger, 32-year-old Kate Steinle, while enjoying a stroll with her dad along a San Francisco pier. Kate's scumbag murderer had been convicted of seven felonies and deported five times. And yet, this criminal kept returning to the U.S. without consequence.

A short synopsis of the illegal alien,w ho shot a woman in the Sanctuary City of San Fransisco.

While the coddling of criminal illegals has been going on for many years, Kate's senseless murder was the straw that broke the camel's back in the hearts and minds of many Americans.

In his heart-wrenching appeal to Congress to pass Kate's Law, Kate's dad said the last words he heard his daughter say before she died was, “Help me dad.”

In a nutshell, Kate's Law says when these deported illegal criminals get caught sneaking back into the U.S., they get a mandatory five years in jail. Politicians/officials who disobey this law also go to jail. Makes sense? Of course. Will Kate's Law save Americans lives? Absolutely.

Like the wicked witch of the east (or was it the west), Democrat Nancy Pelosi enters the conversation. Rather than compassionately expressing reservations about Kate's Law for whatever reasons, Pelosi attacked it.

Nancy Legosi is just simply a partisan hack, who doesn't care about the little people, you and me, but the activists.

Here's the deal, folks. Donald Trump is polling high in his bid for the WH by addressing illegal immigration. Pelosi and her fellow Democrats want to protect their illegal-immigrant-future-voters-scheme. So, in typical Democrat fashion, Pelosi and her MSM partners are trying to brand Trump a racist and hater for simply talking about illegal immigration.

Throwing the late Kate Steinle, her family, and future American victims under the bus, Miss-ice-water-in-her-veins Pelosi tried to tie Kate's Law to Trump. Nancy Pelosi said Kate's Law should be called the “Donald Trump Act”, meaning it is nothing more than hate-inspired legislation.

Really, Nancy? Have you no shame?

In the Democratic Party, Pelosi's win-the-issue-at-any-and-all cost mindset is the norm. This is why it drives me nuts that Democrats get such high marks for their faux compassion.

Well, they are cheered on by the Drive-By-Media, who are really just political activists with bylines.

The meaning of Obama’s silence

From Scott Johnson of the Powerline Blog:

Megyn Kelly asks a great question regarding the tragic murder of Kathryn Steinle in the presence of her father at the hands of five-time deportee, seven-time felon Francisco Sanchez in the sanctuary city of San Francisco

Kate’s murder has…exploded into a national debate on illegal immigrants, sanctuary cities and crime. With the White House ducking the issue of its own acquiescence in these cities’ decision to flout the federal immigration laws which were duly enacted. When asked repeatedly this week to speak to this case, White House spokesman Josh Earnest declined to weigh in other than to refer folks to the Department of Homeland Security.

A stark contrast to what we saw after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson. A man we know was attacking a police officer at the time of his death. His funeral saw three Obama officials in attendance, his death drew comments from President Obama personally and his administration also sent in the DOJ and 40 FBI agents dispatched to Missouri after Michael Brown was killed. Where is the swarm of agents in San Francisco?

Then there was Freddie Gray in Baltimore, a repeat drug offender who was killed in police custody. Here again his funeral was attended by three Obama administration officials and again the President spoke personally to Freddie Gray’s death. And again sent the DOJ in to investigate. When Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida, the president spoke to his death which was later ruled to be in self-defense. But Katie Steinle, nothing. No comments, no swarm of FBI agents, no DOJ investigation, nothing.

Why?

Why? indeed.


Kelly left the question hanging because she makes it rhetorical. The question answers itself.


Let us articulate at least a partial answer. Let us state the obvious that Kelly left implicit.


Obama remains silent because he cannot make Steinle’s murder about himself.


Obama remains silent because her murder illustrates the dilemma with one of his schemes profoundly to transform the United States.


Obama remains silent because her murder illustrates the dilemma so indelibly.


Obama remains silent because Sanchez represents the politically incorrect illegal alien crime wave.


Obama remains silent because he cannot plausibly turn Steinle’s death to his narrow political advantage.


If there has ever been a smaller man or bigger jerk than Barack Obama holding the office of president, we need to know now.

The Dear Leader combines all the worst qualities of many presidents in recent history. The Foreign Policy naivete of Jimmy Carter. Nixon's use of the Federal Government as a tool to attack his enemies. The creation a monster social program for a legacy, like LBJ.

So the answer to the question, NO, there has never been a smaller man or bigger jerk than Barack Obama.

Trump Meets with Families of Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens

From Breitbart's California:

Donald Trump is meeting Friday afternoon with several family members of Americans killed due to the actions of foreign nationals illegally present in the United States.

Trump is meeting, as of this writing, with the family of Jamiel Shaw Jr., Sabine Durden, Don Rosenberg, Lupe Moreno, Brenda Sparks, Robin Hvidston and their spouses in Los Angeles, according to representatives for Trump.

Each of these individuals participated in a national day of remembrance for Americans killed by illegal aliens last November. Breitbart exclusively covered the Temecula, California event onsite.

But what has the Dear Leader done?

He has tome to talk about Skip Gates, Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Time to call Sandra "The Slut" Fluke. But not the Steinle Family.
