Obama would allow sanctuary cities to continue flouting the law

The Hill:

The White House on Thursday threatened to veto a bill cracking down on sanctuary cities, which have come under fire since the alleged murder of a San Francisco woman by an undocumented criminal earlier this month.

The bill is scheduled for a vote in the House on Thursday and is expected to pass. The legislation would cut off some federal funding for states and cities that shield undocumented immigrants from federal enforcement authorities.

The White House said the legislation “undermines current administration efforts to remove the most dangerous convicted criminals” and fails to enact comprehensive immigration reforms.

It argues that President Obama's 2014 executive actions, which focus deportations on convicted criminals, will be a more effective way for the administration to enforce the nation’s immigration laws.

This is a laughable stance.  If that executive order was effective at deporting criminal aliens then the San Francisco murder would never have happened.  Since the San Francisco murder of a young woman took place well after his order was issued it is clear that it was ineffective in stopping crimes like the one that killed Kate Steinle.

In addition, Congressional testimony has revealed that Obama's DHS has been releasing felons, including murderers and rapist at an alarming rate.  There is no reason to believe that Obama is serious about getting illegal alien felons out of the US
