GOP Lawmakers Push Obama Administration to Get Tough on Sanctuary Cities After San Francisco Killing

Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate are pressing the Obama administration to get tough with San Francisco and other jurisdictions that don’t cooperate on immigration enforcement, after the fatal shooting of a woman on a popular stretch of the California city’s waterfront.

The man accused of the July 1 killing is an illegal immigrant and convicted felon from Mexico who had been deported five or more times.
“Nearly 170,000 convicted criminal aliens have been ordered deported, but remain at large.”—@SenatorSessions
In a scathing letter, nine Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday told the nation’s top immigration enforcer, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, that administration policies resulted in Kathryn “Kate” Steinle, 32, being shot in the chest as she walked with her father.

Now? After how many murders, rapes, dui killings, returns from being deported? Just a dog and pony show to indicate they care. Hell, they are fighting for those illegals. Their rich constituents need (greatly desire) those cheap, invisible, disposable workers! GOP isn't going to do anything but monetize. Pay us and we'll fix this! Send us money and we'll take care of this. Yeah right! Their insider trading would take a dump if they blocked illegal workers!
