"Even after repeated attempts by President Obama and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to reform our immigration laws, Republicans in Congress have blocked those efforts, unfortunately, leaving cities and local municipalities to act upon immigration issues that affect its residents. I will continue to work with the Obama Administration on Comprehensive Immigration Reform to ensure cities aren’t forced to make and enforce immigration law."

This might take the cake for unscrupulous politicking. The guy's city's own ordinance on being a "sanctuary city" directly leads to this murder but he takes the time in his official statement to blame Republicans for blocking immigration reform. Wow...

Mario Sevilla...

Need I even say it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Reagan did “comprehensive immigration reform” but the lieberal reneged on the border controls, just like they’ll do again if we give them what they want.

[DoughtyOne]

Mayor, Obama had a majority in both houses of Congress during his first two years in office.

Tell me again how this is a Republican problem. I’d really like to hear you explain that one in detail.

[Crim]

The mayor has blood on his hands and blames his enemies....pure stalin.

[Lurkinanloomin]

What a nonsensical statement.

So, giving this guy amnesty would have made him legal, but the lady would still be dead.

Removing these threats to citizens is the answern not inviting more with another amnesty.

[BerniesFriend]

Our sanctuary policies should not create a safe harbor for convicted, violent felons.

But it does..I want to pour gasoline over my fire pit and light a match and tell it not to ignite..but it does!!!!!

[GSWarrior]

Again, San Francisco county sheriff Ross Mirkrimi is responsible for releasing this loser onto the streets. No one or nothing else is to blame.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Reagan did “comprehensive immigration reform” but the lieberal reneged on the border controls, just like they’ll do again if we give them what they want.

Sadly, Reagan "compromised". They love it when we do that so they can come back later a blame us for the failure of the policy by saying we "supported" it.

We never learn.

PING

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Even after repeated attempts by President Obama and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to reform our immigration laws, Republicans in Congress have blocked those effort..

Considering the back stabbing treasonous RINOs we have in Congress I wouldn't doubt it. The only person supporting what Trump said is Ted Cruz, the rest of them are no different from every leftist calling him a racist.

[Sarah Barracuda]

LOL yeah as a Conservative I know the best place to move to is San Francisco LOL..These liberal loons will NEVER take Responsibility for these illegals, they want them here because the left will gain 20 million + new voters that is what this has always been about

[BigEdLB]

This Mayor needs to go to Australia. I hear there is promising treatments there for Dementia using ultrasound.

[jazusamo]

Edwin Lee has blood on his hands because of his sanctuary city as well as 0bama for his catch and release policy for illegals and allowing sanctuary city status to exist.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Count me as surprised they didn’t run a TV laugh track under this statement.

[SkyDancer]

He should have just said it was Rush Limbaugh’s fault, or conservatives or Tea Party people, or global warming. Bush’s fault. Everything and everybody but them.

[Kartographer]

"Freedom loving Americans are now chained to open border, hate America first, sodomite, socialist 'lemmings' who will not be happy until they drag us all over the cliff with them."

[DoughtyOne]

I like where that was headed. Add to it.

Good one.

[Bogey78O]

What a butthole.

[Political Junkie Too]

...leaving cities and local municipalities to act upon immigration issues that affect its residents.

Arizona also tried to have "cities and local municipalities to act upon immigration issues that affect its residents," but Eric Holder sued them to stop it.

So tell me, Mayor, what makes San Francisco so special that you are "allowed to act upon immigration issues" while Arizona is not?

And don't blame Republicans; it was Democrats who stopped Arizona.
