    One of Mr. Trump's most vivid campaign promises was this.

    (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

    DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENT-ELECT: We will end the sanctuary cities
    that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to
    cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer
    dollars.

    (END VIDEO CLIP)

    O'REILLY: Let me get more pointed than that. But now a number of
    mayors across the country are defying the President-Elect saying,
    they will not stop their sanctuary policies.

    RAHM EMANUEL (D), CHICAGO MAYOR: To be clear about what Chicago is,
    it always will be a sanctuary city.

    BILL DE BLASIO (D), NEW YORK CITY MAYOR: You're not going to
    sacrifice a half million people who live amongst us. We're not going
    to tear families apart.

    ED MURRAY (D), SEATTLE MAYOR: I think by continuing to be a
    sanctuary city, we're doing the most American thing that we could
    possibly do.

    (END VIDEO CLIP)

    O'REILLY: So let's analyze what's really happening here. By refusing
    to obey federal immigration law, the politicians are basically
    saying, we want open borders because anyone who gets in to America
    illegally has a place where they can go with no repercussions. While
    most migrants are law abiding people who just want to support
    themselves and their families, a number of them are criminals or lay
    abouts, simply here to exploit the American system. Those people
    become part of the sanctuary movement as well.

    Now, you will remember that the thug who allegedly murdered Kate
    Steinle was released by the county of San Francisco after ICE
    requested he be held in jail so the Feds could pick him up. San
    Francisco let the man go despite the fact he had seven felony
    convictions in America, had been deported five times. Kate Steinle
    is dead because San Francisco refuses to obey federal law, period.

    There is a lawsuit, civil suit, underway in the case and the
    criminal proceeding is crawling along. Now, you would think any
    decent politician would learn a lesson from the Steinle case but,
    no. These mayors all uber liberals believe they will harvest more
    votes by showing phony compassion than by promoting public safety
    and fighting anarchy. If the left believes everybody should be
    allowed to come in to this country, say it. Say it. But, know that
    sanctuary policies will never be able to tell the good from the bad.
    The chaos will continue to rule.

    So it comes down to what Donald Trump will do to the mayors and
    counties that defy him on immigration law. It has to do something.
    And we expect the showdown will develop quickly early next year. And
    that's "The Memo".

    It's now time for healing, and for fixing the damage the Democrats
    did to America.
