Rep. Trey Gowdy: "Hey Obama, We See Our Daughters in Kate Steinle"

by Elizabeth Nelson

I absolutely love the moxy of Rep. Gowdy, and he said it best, as he was talking to Greta about the House passing a bill that strips federal funding for Sanctuary Cities, cities where illegals with felonies can go without fear of being deported, "The president said that … in Trayvon Martin he saw a son. I can tell you those of us who have daughters saw our daughters in Kate Steinle," Read more from Newsmax. 

The father of the young woman killed earlier this month along a San Francisco pier on Tuesday blasted the "legal loopholes" that allowed the illegal immigrant suspected of pulling the trigger to be released despite a rap sheet that included seven felonies and five past deportations.

In dramatic Capitol Hill testimony, Jim Steinle and other relatives of people killed by illegal immigrants called on Congress to pass new laws aimed at keeping illegal immigrant criminals off the streets.

"It's unbelevable to see so many innocent Americans that have been killed by undocumented immigrant felons in recent years," Steinle said.

His daughter, Kathryn Steinle, 32, was killed July 1, allegedly by Mexican illegal immigrant Francisco Sanchez. The case has re-ignited a national debate over immigration enforcement at the federal level and sanctuary city policies at the local level.

Sanchez had been turned over to San Francisco by federal officials in March on a decades-old drug warrant, but was released by the sheriff's office the next month. Federal immigration officials, who asked to be notified of his release, were never informed.

Steinle recalled his daughter's spirit and personality in brief but powerful remarks. She loved to travel, he said, and had a "smile that would light up a room."
"Kate fell, and looked at me and said 'help me, Dad'," her father recalled. Read more Fox

Those would be the last words he would heard from his daughter, as she lie dying in a sanctuary city.  Sadly, even thought it was her home, it wasn't her sanctuary, but the sanctuary of the man that would now be her killer.  A killer that had been jailed and deported numerous times before.  He's just one of untold thousands of illegal immigrant rapists, murderers, drug dealers and thieves that Obama habitually prefers to set free every year.

This poor man still hasn't gotten a condolence call or shout out, from the man that chooses to set these illegal criminals free.  Don't you tell me he's the President and he's too busy.  Let me remind you, Obama made public condolences and comments about Trayvon, and Michael Brown's death was "heartbreaking."  Obama not only commented on Eric Garner's resisting arrest death but about LeBron James clothing choice. 

However, He hasn't said one word about Kate Steinle's death or even called the family.  Not to mention it took him five days to lower the White House flags to half staff, in response to the tragic loss in Chattanooga, but only 2-hours to create a rainbow light show after SCOTUS announced their same-sex decision? When someone shows you who they are, believe them.  He's showing us his true colors.

Obama would rather over haul our prison system, before he overhauls our immigration system.  Why secure the safety of our men, women and children, when he can continue to weaken our country? That is the one job he's done exceedingly well.  I will give Obama one prop, he did promise to execute the role of President of the United States, to the best of his ability; may it rest in peace.
