Matthew Vadum, writing for Canada Free Press, has provided us with an excellent, though unsettling, even scary, explanation of why a young woman, Kate Steinle, was shot down and killed by an illegal alien who had already been deported 5 times, while she and her parents were doing nothing other than strolling on Pier 14 in San Francisco.
Here is an excerpt…which I ask you to read only if you promise to use this link and read Mr. Vadum\’s entire piece, because it is so important for you to know what “sanctuary cities” are, what they do, and how many of them there now are in the United States.
Although this violent thug pulled the trigger, progressives, through the laws they have enacted, put this man on the streets which allowed him to murder.
Federal authorities had Lopez-Sanchez in custody in March after he was set free from a federal prison. They transferred him to San Francisco authorities because he was wanted by them on drug-related charges. The feds filed what’s called an “immigration detainer” requesting that the local authorities notify them before releasing the man.
But San Francisco, home of the most militant leftists in America, refused the request because local policy forbids it. The prisoner in effect got a “get out of jail free card” from the left-wing open-borders movement which argues that keeping illegals in jail violates their constitutional rights.
This is how it works. Being wanted for violating immigration laws isn\’t enough, in the eyes of progressives, so after they have served their local time illegals go straight from their holding cells to the streets where they are free to murder, rape, and rob the citizens of this country. Complain about this policy and risk being smeared as a racist.
Did you know that there are dozens of cities in the USA which have decided, with absolutely no legal authority to do so, that when it comes to illegal aliens they can ignore federal laws? So they allow illegals rights and privileges that legals do not and will not ever get?
Well now you do. How do you feel about it? How do you suppose Ms. Steinle\’s parents feel about it? How many other Kate Steinles do you figure there are out there who have been victimized by illegals who have no right to be in this country? How do you know you, or someone you love, won\’t be the next one?
This is what is going on in the real world, while navel-gazing political philosophers debate whether Donald Trump overstated the number of hardened criminals among illegals streaming over the border, and how many “microaggressions” might offend them.
When are we going to wake up?
Ever?
