Obama vows to veto sanctuary city crackdown
Washington Times ^ | 10/20/15 | Stephen Dinan

The White House on Tuesday vowed to veto a bill designed to prevent sanctuary city deaths like the July killing of Kathryn Steinle in San Francisco, saying the solution is to legalize illegal immigrants, not to force cities and counties to cooperate in deporting them.

In a state of policy, the Office of Management and Budget said if Congress won’t pass a bill legalizing illegal immigrants, it should butt out and let President Obama carry out his own policies, which include narrowing the number of illegal immigrants he deems worthy of deporting.

And he said trying to force local police to cooperate with his own federal authorities would create a rift between immigrants and police.

“The administration believes that these provisions would lead to mistrust between communities and state and local law enforcement agencies; undermine the ability of law enforcement to keep communities safe across the country; and impede our efforts to safely, fairly, and effectively enforce the nation’s immigration laws,” the OMB said.

"Obama vows to veto sanctuary city crackdown"

Well, no point in trying, then! May as well give up on this idea! Takes 67 votes, you know!

This president is a clear and present danger to all legal Americans. He is nothing more than a terrorist.

"The king Pharaoh has spoken."

A king is too western to describe Barky.

We either crackdown or witness the Chicago syndrome in every city in America, the initiative dedicated to Gun Control Advocacy.

That’s leftist policy applied via demographic warfare, not legislation.

The People have lost control of the nation.

ELECT TRUMP!

So Obama would veto a bill that would compel States and cities to cooperate with the Obama administration?
