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.

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I miss the rule of law. They should make him veto the law if that’s what he would do, but they should pass a good law. Would Obama really shut down the government to keep murdering drug dealers in our country?
Good, now make the SOB own the next illegal alien outrage
To hell with policy and to hell with 0bama. These cities are breaking the law. He can’t veto existing law and hiding illegal aliens is against the law.
I will vote for the politician who promises that if elected he will arrest, try, convict, fine and jail the negro community organizer from Chicago and his co-conspirator Holder.
Yes he would. King Obama is a communist black Muslim terrorists.
” Would Obama really shut down the government to keep murdering drug dealers in our country?”
C’mon! Is the Pope a communist?
If a bunch of cities refused to enforce federal gun control laws, I’m sure he would just ignore that too.
It doesn’t matter because the measure just failed in the senate.
Shouldn’t we be repealing all criminal laws so that the criminals will cooperate with police?
That is the essence of their “logic”.
Yeah, right.
I will see BOR’s response.
BOR just might fall for it.
The left has some baffling logic as usual.
Absolutely. He knows the press will blame the Republicans, and enough stupid people will buy into hook line & sinker. But do it anyway, and let hi veto it.
Good hang this albatross around Joe and Hillary and Bernie neck.
They are the same people who want Kim Davis sent to prison for not issuing a marriage license to gay couples (”She’s refusing to obey the law!!!”)
“Would Obama really shut down the government to keep murdering drug dealers in our country?”
Yes!
yeah. So much for that oath of office thing.
