‘You Should Be for Americans’: Victims of Illegal-Alien Sanctuary Policies Tell Their Stories by Mark Krikorian July 21, 2015 7:39 PM @MarkSKrikorian

The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing today featuring family members of Americans killed by illegal aliens. The witnesses told the stories of Danny Oliver, Grant Ronnebeck, Kathryn Steinle, Dennis McCann, and Josh Wilkerson – all dead because federal, state, and local governments have abdicated their responsibility to protect American citizens from foreign criminals. The anti-borders activists were sensible enough not to disrupt the proceedings, as they have done so often before. Nevertheless, some of the Democrats seem to have taken their cue from Rep. Luis Gutierrez, who a few days ago dismissively referred to Kate Steinle’s killing as “a little thing” (una cosa pequeña).

Senators Chuck Schumer and Richard Durbin did not stay to hear the victims’ testimony and only returned after the families had left and the second panel, featuring DHS functionaries, was underway. (Sen. Feinstein did stay, and had met with Ms. Steinle’s father earlier.) Brian McCann, Dennis’s brother, noted this absence diplomatically, telling the remaining senators: “I regret my senator had to leave and couldn’t hear my testimony.”

You can see why Gang-of-Eighters Schumer and Durbin ran away. Each of the families told of tragedies that would not have taken place but for the limitations on immigration enforcement advocated by them (and by their party’s chosen witnesses at the hearing). McCann called illegal-alien sanctuary laws “a pathetic miscarriage of justice visited upon my family and hundreds of other families across the country.” Steinle’s father noted that “It is unbelievable to see that so many innocent Americans have been killed by undocumented immigrant felons in recent years.”

Most senators are disgusting rodents and poor excuses for Americans.

Schumer and Durbin certainly fit that description, and then some.

Control entry and thoroughly vet those allowed in. The low grade civil war in Mecico and Centeral America is producing narco thugs by the thousands and is pushing the north either to represent the cartels or to hide from them. The cartels will help anyone into the USA for a price and it suits their business plan to have chaos at the border. Who better tha ISIS to do this plus they pay to get into USA.

The Left’s disrespect of all those with whom they disagree will (HOPEFULLY) be their downfall. Those Leftists who ignore the plight of AMERICANS who cry out for justice; those who aren't appalled at the Planned Parenthood illegal selling of ‘baby parts’; those who support the lawlessness of this Admin.......I pray America is waking and will reverse this disastrous path that we travel.

Hillary promises greater leniency to illegal immigrants

Chad Groening (OneNewsNow.com)

An immigration reform activist isn’t surprised Hillary Clinton is willing to double-down on executive power to grant amnesty.

Hillary ClintonThe Daily Caller has reported that the Clinton campaign has decided to change the eligibility requirements for a contest known as “Meet Hillary.” The chance to personally meet the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee will now be opened to illegal immigrants as well as U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents.

Bob Dane is a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. He says the move to include illegal aliens in the contest isn’t surprising considering that Mrs. Clinton told amnesty activists that, if elected, she would go further than President Obama in granting executive amnesty to even more people who are in the country illegally.

but, but, but...........I just saw an overfed “immigration activist” on TV say:

“In moments like this it’s important to sit back, to breath, and to think about the comprehensive solutions that we can bring about together.”

It makes me sad that the only face I recognize, other than Kate Steinle, is the Border Guard, Brian Terry. And I probably recognize him because I live in Arizona. Our Pravda Media is complicit in covering up the crimes of those they embrace. AMERICANS should be the priority.......I pray that the next Admin reverses all the ‘Executive Orders, Actions, etc,’ that allow our Laws to be ignored.
