Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton finally agreed to appear on the highly-rated Fox News show The O’Reilly Factor.
Her interview, which was taped earlier this week while she was campaigning in South Bend, Indiana, was broadcast on The Factor over two consecutive nights.
When part two of “Hillary in the No Spin Zone” aired, and she was asked questions on the topics of foreign policy, the War on Terror, and illegal immigration. When Bill O’Reilly turned to the immigration debate, he asked, “Will you shut down sanctuary cities?” Hillary responded, “No, I will not.”
According to a new report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), the illegal immigrant population within the United States currently exceeds 13 million, an estimate that has almost doubled since 2000. Given this increasing trend, Hillary’s response should be frightening to American families, who are forced to live with frequent criminal activity committed by illegals in sanctuary cities. Even during the Senate debate of the Grand Amnesty bill last year, Senator Clinton voted against the Coleman Amendment which would have banned sanctuary cities (Roll Call 177).
“It is an outrage that Hillary Clinton is running to become President of the United States, yet she is openly admitting that she will not enforce America’s laws,” said Eagle Forum Executive Director Jessica Echard.
“Sanctuary city policies put all Americans in danger, and as an elected official, Hillary Clinton is well aware of that fact. Do we really want to elect someone who will enable criminal aliens to roam our streets?” she added
Last August, several African-American college-bound teenagers were brutally murdered while listening to music in a playground in Newark, New Jersey, one of many US sanctuary cities.

Unfortunately, this is not exclusively a Hillary problem.
Most of Congress (both chambers) is in a similar position, in open defiance of both the American people and their Constitutional Oath.
This leaves the American citizen exactly where?
If the Citizenry agrees with them, then the laws should be abolished. If the Citizens don't agree, what remedy is left for them?
Open rebellion?
What?
geez I am sick of that nonsense. It's probably somewhere between 32 and 40 million. We have over a million right here in Dallas - Ft. Worth.
The laws are enforced against, “Patriotic Americans.” The commies, muslims, illegals, rabid Obuma supporters and other humanoid trash get a pass.
A Few Words,
NSNR
>>If the Citizenry agrees with them, then the laws should be abolished. If the Citizens don’t agree, what remedy is left for them?

What?
One vote for rebellion. Time to throw ALL the rascals out, start over with one requirement - Elected officials MUST uphold the Constitution - no ifs, and, or buts.
Unfortunately it WILL be what happens.
Or...we could insist that all lawmakers be required to take a random drug and alcohol test along with a background check. If they turn up positive or have any felony on their record we toss em in the street and take away ALL of their freebies!
Probably get rid of about 80% of the pathetic lot.

He openly defied 'Rule of Law' by introducing and supporting the Amnesty Bill.
Doesn't that count?
Maybe when you said 'either' you didn't mean 2....but all 3.
The only solution I see is to apply political pressure as was done with the outrage displayed at the McCain/Kennedy bill.
Unfortunately, the public is not willing to display this same outrage towards the establishment of sanctuary cities.
Why? Illegals are amongst us all, sanctuary cities are not.
We have zero reason to believe that McCain will not revert to form and make 'sanctuary' obsolete!
So Hillary is saying outright that she will not abide by her oafh of office if elected?
Bush & the Republicans have given us McCain as our only choice....and I'm not buying.
Well that kinda makes it impossible to promise to uphold the Constitution doesn’t it? If you refuse to uphold the law, then you are a feckless destroyer of our Republic.
No matter what else you say.
She’s despicable and a power hungry marxist-socialist.
You beat me to it. Who in the media will note that?
Chirp, chirp, nothing but crickets.
If you don’t buy McCain, then you buy marxist-socialism in its pure unadulterated form.
This is not a drill! This is reality front and center.
“The illegal immigrant population in the US currently exceeds 13million.”IMO double that number is more accurate.Problem isn’t just Hillary and the dims.Ex:I caught a short snippet on tv when McCain was asked about McCain/Kennedy(aka amnesty)bill and the overwhelming opposition to illegal immigration by the American voters.Recently McCain was quoted as saying he finally “gets it”.I don’t buy it for one minute.Even if McCain is elected i expect business as usual in DC.Maybe a few high profile busts from time to time,but very little of substance.Let’s face it-we’ve been sold out.
dibbs on the hot tub!
O’Reilly should have called her on that point but that line of questioning is way above his capabilities..
I don't totally agree.
At the risk of resorting to Macchiavellinism, we know that the "new, moderate" Hillary and Hussein personnas are an attempt to lull the ignorant into a sense of security, wherein their true selves will emerge after they have won. That is a given for me.
The unspoken hope is that McCain is similarly engaged. It is possible.
The following words, which I learned in grade school (6th grade, if I remember right), keep popping into my head when I read FR threads these days...
"Gentlemen may cry 'peace!, peace!', but there is no peace.
The war has actually begun!"
Our ship of state has sunk!
It's possible only if the public (grass roots folks because the pol's will surely not do it) holds his feet to the fire 24/7 for four solid years.
I cannot conceive of him gaining access to office and then turning 180 degrees just because he failed on the first try.
Well Gee, now I’m convinced. There’s so much information here that is valid and new to me. Not.
So please update me on how marxist-socialist Obama/Shrillary will do much better on ANY issue.
Republicans in Congress have 10x better shot standing up to McCain on illegal immigration and on a whole hosts of issues than they will ever have under either Obama or Shrillary.
But please keep on with the Daily Kos strategy. It’s working. Just not on me.
Declaring all "sanctuary" cities to be free-fire zones?
bump
The American people have to get up off their asses and take their country back from the elitist pigs controlling it now. The politicians sit there with their thumbs up their asses while these people cost us billions of dollars and thousands of lives every year. This is what we get when we trust corrupt people to do what’s right for the country. Too many people still trust politicians even when the facts show they are lying, cheating scumbags.
Unfortunately it WILL be what happens.
Shouldn't be too difficult. After all, there's only 535 of them and at least 200 million of us.
Wrong. A President McCain will provide cover for the RINOs to support amnesty just like Bush did in 2006 when a Rep controlled senate passed amnesty [S 2611] with 23 Rep senators voting FOR the bill, including McCain. It will be easier to fight amnesty if there is a Dem in the WH.
The Dems want this bill passed as a bipartisan measure. They want the Reps to share the political consequences of a bill that will destroy this country with a stroke of a pen. Amnesty is forever. Not only will the status of the 12 to 20 million illegals be legalized, but they will in turn be able to sponsor thru chain migration, i.e., family reunification, another 66 to 100 million LEGAL immigrants over a 20 year period. This will be on top of the 1.2 million legal immigrants that enter the US annually.
I predict either an open rebellion will occur b4 this election or the next president will be impeached AND removed from office. This will happen because of a voter rebellion this year and a new set or legislators will happen.
No you are wrong. Amnesty will pass with either Obama or Shrillary in less than a calendar year. And the Republican minority will not be able to stop it. Period.
The Republicans will be lucky to hold 40 Senators in November, let alone a group strong enough to stop the Democrats from passing amnesty.
You think that with the House, Senate and Oval Office under Rat control passing amnesty will be harder?
Uh no.
Marxist-socialist legislation will be flying through. Flying. And this will be on the short list.
Wrong about what? McCain, Hillary, and Obama all support amnesty. Do you think it won't pass under McCain?
The Republicans will be lucky to hold 40 Senators in November, let alone a group strong enough to stop the Democrats from passing amnesty.
The Senate will pass amnesty. The only real battleground will be in the House. There is a glimmer of hope there with the blue dog Dems. As someone who is an immigration activist involved in lobbying on the Hill, I am quite familiar with the political environment.
You think that with the House, Senate and Oval Office under Rat control passing amnesty will be harder?
Yup, and folks like Roy Beck agree with me. The Dems want this to be a bipartisan bill. And a McCain in the WH will be able to put more pressure on Reps than a Dem will to go along to get along.
Marxist-socialist legislation will be flying through. Flying. And this will be on the short list.
If amnesty passes, the country is finished. Everything else that follows is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I agree ...this IS what will happen.
I believe millions of Americans 'get it'....
..they know...I know...we're sinking fast....
..and still we sit here ..waiting.
We're not jumping ship....we're not trying to take back our country....we're just waiting for the water to rise over our heads....
In truth, we're too tired, too defeated, too weary to mutiny.
And there's no one on the horizon to lead us out of this....although I continue to pray.
We may be in for some very hard times.
BUMP!
Please don’t take it personally. But I am not sitting by to allow flat out marxists to take the Oval Office.
And I’ve made that absolutely clear.
But to those who can’t hold their nose and pull the lever for McCain, good luck.
We will perhaps see if they are the difference in bringing flat out leftists to the Executive for the first time in this nation’s history.
So please spare me your inclusion with ‘other McCainiacs’ as you say. Thanks.
“If he wins, he will grant Amnesty”
The president doesn’t grant amnesty. Remember what we all went through to get Congress to back down?
If GWB could have granted illegals amnesty, they’d have it.
No, I’m not naive. If the president could grant amnesty, as you stated, we would have had it already. The Dem controlled Congress wasn’t able to get it passed last year, remember? I don’t think the people will sit back and allow a comprehensive bill to be passed the next time they try.
All three candidates are close on the illegal immigrant issue. I don’t like any of them.
Illegal immigration is not the only issue of importance to me. I want what is best for my country.
Bush & the Republicans have given us McCain as our only choice....and I’m not buying.
ME EITHER
IMO its the only social issue which could result in widespread civil violence.
The morons we call leaders are utterly and completely blind to the attitude of the average American. Either blind or contemptuous beyond belief.
