Last week Kate Steinle was shot and killed on a San Francisco pier by an illegal alien with a record of seven felonies and five deportations. Her killer admitted in a jailhouse interview that he went back to San Francisco because he knew he wouldn't be turned over to federal authorities thanks to sanctuary city policies.
Monday night on the O'Reilly Factor, Bill O'Reilly didn't mince words when addressing the issue and holds San Francisco city officials and the Obama administration complicit in Steinle's death. O'Reilly also called on Congress to pass a law mandating five years in federal prison if caught back in the United States after being deported.
"Here is the dangerous part. According government statistics, 71% percent of non-American citizens in federal prisons are from Mexico. Colombian nationals are second, just 4%. Mexican criminals represent a whopping 16% of all convicts serving time in federal penitentiaries. That is a huge burden on the American taxpayer, and a dangerous situation for ordinary Americans like 32-year-old Kate Steinle," O'Reilly said. "Last Wednesday Kate was walking with her father in San Francisco when she was shot dead on the street for absolutely no reason at all. Police say 45-year-old Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an illegal alien from Mexico, murdered Kate. Apparently Sanchez has seven felony convictions and had been deported five times. Yet he was still walking around the streets of San Francisco. That's because Mayor Ed Lee and the eleven members of the San Francisco City Supervisors refuse to cooperate with the federal government on criminal aliens. The feds asked the city of San Francisco to keep Sanchez in custody; the city refused. Ms. Steinle paid for that irresponsible and unconstitutional decision with her life. San Francisco is a sanctuary city, and violent crimes committed by criminal aliens have happened before. City authorities refuse to say how many because they know this is a huge scandal -- a black mark on the history of San Francisco, the most tolerant of cities. n 1996 President Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act, which stipulated that local and state authorities were to cooperate with the feds in apprehending illegal aliens, especially criminals."
"In 2007 then Mayor Gavin Newsom issues an Executive Order stating that as a Sanctuary City, San Francisco would not cooperate with federal authorities on illegal immigration matters and would protect even criminal aliens. The feds did nothing. In 2010 the Obama administration openly said it would not punish cities that refuse to obey the 1996 law. So here's the deal. The mayor and city supervisors of San Francisco are directly responsible for the death of Kate Steinle and the Obama administration is complicit. Attorney General Loretta Lynch could order FBI agents to arrest Mayor Lee and the supervisors for violating federal law. She is within her authority to do that. I know that will never happen because racial politics drives the law these days, which is why Trump caught so much hell. The Constitution demands that the federal government protect Americans from foreign intruders. Obviously, that responsibility is not being met. And if you point that out as Trump did, you are a racist, a piñata for the open-border crowd to bash," he continued.
The Vilification of Donald Trump Over Illegal Immigration
Violent crime committed by illegal aliens in this country is a major problem, for public safety reasons and for taxpayers. As O'Reilly mentioned, the government has an obligation to protect Americans from foreign invasion and the criminal illegal alien problem is fueled by political DC incompetence. Every GOP presidential candidate, as well as Democrat Hillary Clinton, has an obligation to address it
O’Reilly is a pretentious blowhard but once in a while he’s absolutely dead on. This is one of those times.
The nation needs fundamental change......... Obama must go
Then SAY THE ROOT CAUSE! They want MORE DEMOCRAT VOTERS...
The STUPID PARTY had better get ahold of these Mexican ‘immigrants’ and tell them the democrat party is just using them, and NOT TO vote democrat unless they want to turn the USA into the same crap-hole they just left.
The GOP has to make SOME SORT OF EFFORT to counter the wave of new democrat voters. This is one.
You said it, and if it hadn’t been for those who stayed home during the 2012 general election, he would have never been reelected as he got lesser votes than in 2008
Another article?
He's evolving. He is finally starting to understand the government's complicity in this illegal immigration nightmare.
If a list of ‘Sanctuary Cities’ could be published far & wide, and people should boycott tourism because of safety issues, maybe some lefty mor-oons would wake up. Tourist dollars would dry up and city tax rates increased to over 100% for the locals is a lovely thought to them. But not practical.
Or did Mr. Trump unfairly malign Mexico and millions of Mexican illegal aliens?
Talking Points will now answer those questions.
The primary mistake Donald Trump made in his campaign kickoff speech was speaking too generally about the border problem.
Most Mexicans who sneak into the USA or overstay their legal visitation status do so because they are economically deprived. They are largely under-educated folks who are trying to feed their families.
Also, the vast majority of illegal aliens do not commit crimes while on American soil, apart from their immigration offense.
But there are big problems stemming from Mexican illegal immigration, and the statistics tell the story.
As we all know, Mexico is the major supplier of illegal drugs to the USA. The drug cartels down there have corrupted the police and many politicians.
They are brutal thugs who commit mass murder, torture and generally shame their nation.
ISIS has nothing on these drug cartels; they are both savage enterprises.
The government of Mexico is not capable of defeating the drug lords and rejects direct American intervention.
U.S. drug agents are not allowed to carry firearms in Mexico, thereby putting themselves at great risk assisting Mexican authorities.
For decades Mexico City has allowed organized crime to brutalize its own people and Americans, as well.
Some of the drug organizations have branched out into people smuggling, charging money to get desperate migrants across the border.
In the process many, perhaps most, migrant women are sexually molested, and that was the rape situation Donald Trump mentioned.
But it's not ordinary Mexicans doing the raping. It's the gangsters, and Trump should have made that clear.
The truth is there is little supervision on the Mexican side of the border. Cities like Juarez and Nuevo Laredo are literally run by the drug cartels.
Border security in Mexico is non-existent and has been for decades.
That situation will not improve.
So Trump is correct in saying that only a massive wall will stop the chaos. And even then, drugs and people will get through, although not to the extent they do now.
Washington knows all this but has turned away from securing the border ever since President Reagan promised to do so after he signed an immigration amnesty in 1986.
Mr. Reagan did not keep his promise, and every single president since has failed to secure the southern border. Every one.
Now what about the immigrants themselves?
Fifty-nine percent of Mexican residents and illegal aliens have less than a high school education.
Only four percent have a college degree.
Sixty-eight percent are poor or near poor.
Fifty-seven percent receive means-tested welfare of some kind.
Fifty-six percent do not have health insurance. Many of those will receive Obamacare subsidies.
So, Trump's analysis is correct. The majority of Mexicans coming to the USA are not achievers in the economic sense.
To be fair, that was the case with the Irish, Italian and European immigration waves of the past … hard-working people trying to improve themselves.
But here is the dangerous part.
According government statistics, 71% percent of non-American citizens in federal prisons are from Mexico. Colombian nationals are second, just 4%.
Mexican criminals represent a whopping 16% of all convicts serving time in federal penitentiaries.
That is a huge burden on the American taxpayer, and a dangerous situation for ordinary Americans like 32-year-old Kate Steinle.
Last Wednesday Kate was walking with her father in San Francisco when she was shot dead on the street for absolutely no reason at all.
Police say 45-year-old Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an illegal alien from Mexico, murdered Kate.
Apparently Sanchez has seven felony convictions and had been deported five times.
Yet he was still walking around the streets of San Francisco.
That's because Mayor Ed Lee and the eleven members of the San Francisco City Supervisors refuse to cooperate with the federal government on criminal aliens.
The feds asked the city of San Francisco to keep Sanchez in custody; the city refused. Ms. Steinle paid for that irresponsible and unconstitutional decision with her life.
San Francisco is a sanctuary city, and violent crimes committed by criminal aliens have happened before.
City authorities refuse to say how many because they know this is a huge scandal -- a black mark on the history of San Francisco, the most tolerant of cities.
The family of Kate Steinle is asking for calm, not vengeance.
But Talking Points is not as charitable.
In 1996 President Bill Clinton signed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Responsibility Act, which stipulated that local and state authorities were to cooperate with the feds in apprehending illegal aliens, especially criminals.
In 2007 then Mayor Gavin Newsom issues an Executive Order stating that as a Sanctuary City, San Francisco would not cooperate with federal authorities on illegal immigration matters and would protect even criminal aliens.
The feds did nothing.
In 2010 the Obama administration openly said it would not punish cities that refuse to obey the 1996 law.
So here's the deal.
The mayor and city supervisors of San Francisco are directly responsible for the death of Kate Steinle and the Obama administration is complicit.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch could order FBI agents to arrest Mayor Lee and the supervisors for violating federal law. She is within her authority to do that.
I know that will never happen because racial politics drives the law these days, which is why Trump caught so much hell.
The Constitution demands that the federal government protect Americans from foreign intruders.
Obviously, that responsibility is not being met. And if you point that out as Trump did, you are a racist, a piñata for the open-border crowd to bash.
The fact that a felon could be deported five times and still be walking around the USA should shame Congress.
Where is a law that says if you are deported one time and come back you serve five years in prison. Where is that law?
Congress should pass it, and if President Obama doesn't sign it, everything will then be on the table.
That legislation should be called the Kate Steinle law, much like Jessica's Law.
So who will sponsor the new law? Please let me know. We are looking for some legislators of courage. Are you out there?
Talking Points is disgusted with the cowardice of our elected officials, from the crazy left San Francisco people to the president to the Congress.
Most of them are rich folks who could not care less about the violence and chaos out of control criminal activity south of the border is creating here.
If Mexico does not crack down hard on border intrusions and drug trafficking, we should punish them economically. Period.
This entire disaster has been going on for far too long.
The excuse that America is at fault because we use drugs and do not secure the border on our side is valid.
We are at fault.
But that does not excuse Mexico's rampant corruption and abuse of its own people.
Drug and people smuggling injure millions and cost lives. It's the dirtiest of crimes.
Finally, the poor people sneaking in here to paint your house are not the problem.
The cowardly politicians who will not uphold the law and the Constitution of the United States are the problem.
That's what Donald Trump should have said.
And that's the memo.
Ditto—what you said…...
Without Trump nobody would have heard of this story.
Pray America is waking
“””He’s evolving. He is finally starting to understand the government’s complicity in this illegal immigration nightmare.””””
No, he’s not. Today the wind blows him in this direction.
He nailed it last night!
BOR may be a cross between Ted Baxter and Gene Hackman, but he nailed it last night. Every last word of it. I agree with him that the Mayor of SF and the Board of Supervisors of that city should be held accountable and charged for the murder. Sanctuary cities are ringing the dinner bell for illegal aliens and criminals to flock into their jurisdictions.
What would another law do? The open borders Marxists don't observe the ones we have now. This may and probably will evolve into a citizens fight for their own life, liberty and some happiness to pursue.
Very strong Memo, followed, of course, by the usual wind blowing bums: Juan Williams, Karl Rove, Brit Hume....

The very best of the BELTWAY BULLSHI^^ERS.
I was honestly shocked by O’Reilly’s “Talking Points Memo” last night. He was, like most decent Americans with a modicum of intelligence, seething with anger over the complicity of the local, state, and federal governments in this poor girl’s savage murder.
O’Reilly(and Eric Bolling later on “Hannity”)went directly against their own network’s GOPe/Jeb Bush advocacy(which was further demonstrated this morning on “Bush & Friends” and the 9AM “news” show)by calling it what it is:
Lawless government ignoring its Constitutional responsibilities, a criminal offense for which the people’s elected “representatives” should be subject to arrest.
For that stance alone, O’Reilly should be applauded.
“...unless they want to turn the USA into the same crap-hole they just left.”
Why do these offenders exude so much pride and love for their crap-holes of origin? They only want to “take” from the USA.
As for BOR, I wonder if he only noticed a problem because this time the victim was an attractive woman.
“by the usual wind blowing bums: Juan Williams, Karl Rove, Brit Hume....”
I don’t think Brit Hume belongs in that group.
