Glenn Reynolds says this amounts to her coming out against sanctuary cities. I doubt it. That would be way, way off-message for a candidate who’s depending heavily on Latinos next November. Why hand the GOP an easy talking point like “Even Hillary agrees that sanctuary cities are a problem”? Watch to the end and you’ll see she specifies that only chronic recidivist illegals, like five-time deportee Francisco Sanchez, should be handed over to the feds after they’ve served time for a criminal offense, not people who are guilty of nothing more than a first-time minor traffic violation. Why there should be any threshold of criminal severity for someone who’s here illegally to be deported isn’t clear, but then it’s also unclear why Hillary thinks deporting Sanchez a sixth time would have reduced the threat he posed to the public. It might have saved Kate Steinle this time, but the previous five deportations obviously didn’t. Is there any reason to think some other innocent person wouldn’t have ended up in her shoes once Sanchez returned again? The lesson of the shooting is that there’s no meaningful deterrent to re-entering the U.S. once you’ve been sent home. What’s her plan to create that deterrent?
Call me cynical but sometimes I think she doesn’t have one. If she did, would she be describing people who aren’t citizens this way?
.@HillaryClinton takes on GOP over immigration, saying all candidates basically treat undocumented immigrants as "second-class citizens."

Steny Hoyer’s also opposed to sanctuary for illegals convicted of serious crimes — not even Bernie Sanders wants to run on a pro-felon immigration policy, I assume — but, like Hillary, he’s in no hurry to actually do anything about it:
When asked by The Daily Caller if federal funds should be withheld to such cities who refuse to comply with federal law and do not report felons to federal authorities that are arrested by local police departments, Hoyer replied, “Without getting into specifics as to the action we ought to take, my feeling is that clearly, we have all made clear we need comprehensive immigration reform. Having said that, people who commit crimes and in this case, felonies as I understand it, need to be excluded and removed from our country.”
“Living in America is a privilege. Coming to America is a privilege and those who come to America and commit crimes — serious crimes under the comprehensive immigration reform passed by the Senate and every other common sense view of immigration reform, in my opinion, includes assuring that we will remove [them] from the country from wherever they may be located — people who commit serious felonies in our country, particularly multiple felonies — as was the case here,” Hoyer said.
When asked if cities that are safe havens to illegal immigrants should inform federal authorities when they have such an individual, Hoyer responded, “In my view, yes.”
Sanchez, by the way, killed Kate Steinle using a gun owned by a federal agent that was stolen in a car break-in last month, a grim irony in a case highlighting just how open our government has left our very open border.
Two clips for you here, one of Hillary 2015 and the other of Hillary 2003 that made the rounds online a few months ago and is circulating again today on conservative Twitter. You would have thought that Brianna Keilar might want to find out from Hillary when, precisely, she “evolved” from adamant opposition to illegal immigration to her “everyone but the felons!” policy now, but that’ll have to wait until she finally sits down for a serious interview, I guess.
what a goof!
..... Ya Hillary ...... The operative word is "BEFORE." Just like ALL of the others that went on to murder and commit heinous crimes that were held then released due to the policies spawned by the Democrat Party.
.... These murders and crimes have been happening for decades .... and nobody paid any attention because it was quickly covered up by the Socialist propaganda machine.
She only wants to turn in illegals that are going to commit violent crimes.
I don’t think she’s actually running to win, although that would be a good thing for her, but if she loses in the primaries or loses the general election, she gets to keep all the dough she raised that’s not spent. Keep an eye on her spending and see if it matches her previous campaigns levels.............................
Hmmmm.....a good probing question.....
One thing we can be certain of, she won’t be using any of her own money, nor money from her crime syndicate foundation to get her elected.
Her watchword is “other peoples’ money.”
She may be the Alf Landon of the Democrat party.......................
H is for Hypocrite
Ahhhh..she stuck a finger in the air and determined which way the wind is blowing. How clever.
BUT.... you can fool enough of the people to get elected.
Hillary’s as big a scheisser as JEB, but at least he ain’t trying to play both sides: JEB is a dedicated open borders traitor.

Well, there is that, of course. It’s how Barack the Muslime got to where he is.
“Somebody” should have made the decision that he was dangerous, says Hil.
But, everybody who makes decisions on their own initiative can be second guessed and disciplined. That’s why there are laws.
