July 6, 2015 GOP Field (Except Trump) Giving A Pass To All Four Dem Candidates On Sanctuary Cities Support By Thomas Lifson A huge campaign issue for the GOP is being ignored, raising the specter of another presidential race in which the Republican nominee fails to press the Democrats weaknesses. A gentlemanly campaign always loses to the bare knuckles of the left in todays media environment, where tongues cluck only over GOP excesses.
Karthryn Steinle, the beautiful young woman who died in her fathers arms, gunned down by an illegal immigrant from Mexico, is a martyr for which the sanctuary city policies of San Francisco (and other progressive havens) are undisputedly responsible. The danger they create affects every American, for Steinle was assassinated in a seemingly safe public space. If she was in danger, we all are in danger.
Kathryn Steinles blood is on the hands of every politician who has supported sanctuary cities. And, as Chuck Ross points out in the Daily Caller, all four Democrats currently running for the nomination are on the record in support of sanctuary cities:
As a senator from New York, Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, twice made public statements backing sanctuary cities. In 2008, she and two other Democratic candidates, Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Virginia U.S. Sen. Jim Webb, voted against an amendment that would block federal funds from going to sanctuary cities.
But right now, the GOP field is aiming its fire at Donald Trump
It is not simply that the rest of the GOP field want to gain an advantage over Trump; they are petrified by political correctness of losing the support of Hispanic voters and voters-to-be.

As long as Trump is in the public eye so much, unless he really says something out-of-line, this all has to be good for him. We will see.
Yep. They are too busy carpet bombing Trump to have a serious discussion
on immigration.
Their slavemasters and amnesty pimps won’t allow it.
Because all of them EXCEPT Trump and may be Cruz, have rich donor sugar daddy’s who would spank them if they mis-behaved.
I don’t see Cruz mentioned as “giving a pass to all four Dem candidates on sanctuary cities support”. So why only Trump from the “GOP field”? Hmm.
The democrat talking points are now comparing Trump to Todd Akin.
Yes, somewhere I did hear that one, indeed. I forget, it’s been a long day.

The article is wrong in that Cruz and if we are technical though weak in the polls, Santorum is not giving anyone this free pass as well.
I’m probably missing some others.
Ham head Rove did the same on O'Reilly tonight.

From the quality of reader comments on that web site, I would’nt give that web site much credence.
You forgot to include Karl Rove. But otherwise a good effort.
and while we are it how about adding Jhemu Green & Juan Williams from Fox News?
That’s why the “Except Trump” bothered me.
Cruz supported him.
“Ham head Rove did the same on O’Reilly tonight.”
I doubt Rove himself is able to understand that it is HIM and people like him that keep forcing us to deal with Republican candidates that WE DO NOT WANT.
Border security should be a NO BRAINER for Republicans - 80% of Republicans want it, and something like 60% of Democrats even want it. But Rove has money and simply WILL NOT support anyone that wants border security.
So people like Aiken pop up, and now Trump. Trump should be a NOBODY with his comments on the Southern Border - we should have been hearing EXACTLY the same comments from the 143,849 other candidates running for the nomination - but (with the possible exception of Cruz) they all want Rove’s money - so Trump is able to stand out.
ROVE CREATED HIM (Trump).
It is becoming apparent to me that we have a bunch of self serving socialists running in the Pub primary, plus Donald Trump & maybe Ted Cruz.
