Last night on The Kelly File, Megyn Kelly slammed the Obama Administration for refusing to “take seriously” those who have raised concerns about illegal immigration and sanctuary cities. The Fox News personality explained: “That’s the message 24 hours after a half dozen witnesses went before Congress to testify about this issue. Many were families who lost loved ones at the hands of illegal immigrants. All of them begging Washington for some help.”

After playing a clip from Jim Steinle, father of murdered San Francisco native Kate Steinle, Kelly declared: “Well, that last person was Mr. Steinle, the father of Kate Steinle, whose daughter was allegedly shot by an illegal immigrant with a long criminal record who should have been deported and was repeatedly, but instead, he had been put back on the street because of sanctuary cities policies in the city of San Francisco.”

The Kelly File host followed up with an interview of Brad Steinle, Kate Steinle’s brother. Steinle said he was stunned to see the White House so easily dismiss their proposal: “There’s a diversion and people aren’t taking it seriously.”

After reading a quote from Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) saying Kate’s Law should really be named the Donald Trump Act, Kelly eviscerated the former Speaker of the House:

And Obama said...

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Bless his heart. He had a beautiful daughter.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Is that picture for real?

[chris37]

Hah! To tell you the truth, I don’t know.

I just googled “Obama middle finger” and this one is one of quite a few that popped up.

The man does seem to have a tendency of doing this sort of thing.

[Kaslin]

You mean sister, don't you? And yes she was very pretty, but than what I have seen the whole family was quite handsome

[Tennessee Nana]

Mr. Steinle is a gracious American man who is sacrificing his time to mourn for his daughter Kate who was murdered by an illegal alien in order to help children of other American parents be safe from the same avoidable death ...

[Kaslin]

He sure is

[peeps36]

When will these people realize that O’pole-smoker and the democrats don't care about the well-being of the American people? The only thing they care about are the votes they will get from ignorant illegals. Most republicans are no better. They care more about cheap labor then America’s security. Our country is in the hands of scumbags.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Oh I’m sorry. I was thinking of the dad. I should have been paying closer attention.

Nice looking family. They seem like really good parents.

[Blue Jays]

What a horrific tragedy for Kate Steinle and her family.
One wonders about their viewpoint on sanctuary cities or even if they had an opinion on it prior to her murder.
My prayers go out to that family. They seem very kind.

[Hostage]

Heartbreaking. Innocence murdered.

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

Yeah, she wasn’t pulling any punches last night. The whole program was like that.

Yes, Obama is doing nothing about “sanctuary cities”, but to be fair, “sanctuary cities” have been around a lot longer than Obama has been president, and no previous president has done much to shut them down either.

Can anyone tell me:

How much did the George W. Bush administration do to put a halt to “sanctuary cities”?

How much did the Bill Clinton administration do to put a halt to “sanctuary cities”?

How much did the George H.W. Bush administration do to put a halt to “sanctuary cities”?

How much did the Ronald Reagan administration do to put a halt to “sanctuary cities”?
