Chutzpah: Obama administration blames GOP for murder of woman by illegal alien
In what many law enforcement officers are calling “chutzpah in the first degree,”President Barack Obama and hisWhite House on Monday defended current unilateral immigration policies and blamed the nation’s Republicans for the killing of a San Francisco woman by an illegal alien suspect who took advantage of a Sanctuary City policy embraced by the ultra-liberal local politicians.
When a reporteraskedif the killing of 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle was due tothe Obama administrations enforcement policies, White House press secretary Josh Earnest denied culpability and blamed Republican lawmakersfor blocking a bipartisan immigration bill that would have boosted funding for border security.
But police and national security officials who spoke with the Examiner on Monday say Earnest’s arguments are a mixture of lies, half-truths and foggy thinking. “We’ve been discussing border security for years now and yet nothing was done,” said former drug enforcement officer Stephen Henry Rios. “The congress passed legislation that provided billions of dollars for a ‘virtual’ border fence, surveillance drones, close-circuit television and capacitance detectors and alarms,” he noted.
Detective Daniel Penchot, who retired from police work and is now a private security firm vice president, agrees with Rios. Penchot pointed out that the Obama administration gave a no-bid contract to a security firm to install the virtual fence and other equipment and systems. “After spending a billion dollars on what was basically shoddy equipment and workmanship, then-Secretary of Homeland Security [Janet] Napolitano canceled the entire project,” said Det. Penchot.
