This is SERIOUS... Even the Rabidly Pro-Illegal SFGate is Holding Off

When even the rabidly pro-illegal alien SFGate refrains from publishing Leftist editorials apologizing for SF's murderer-shielding Sanctuary City Policy, you know it's serious!

Instead, they bring in the conservative (by Bay Area standards) Debra Saunders...

July 1 was one of those evenings when you feel blessed to be in San Francisco, especially if you are strolling along Pier 14. But every reader knows what happened next: A bullet struck Kathryn Steinle, 32, as she walked arm in arm with her father. Neither knew what had happened; the shot killed a vibrant woman — for which an illegal immigrant with seven felony convictions and five deportations has been charged. (Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez has pleaded not guilty.) Tuesday, less than a month later, Jim Steinle found himself where he never thought he would be — testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee to advocate for commonsense changes to sanctuary city policies to prevent crimes “at the hands of a person who never should have been on the streets of this country.”

You might think no parent could experience anything more painful, until you hear the testimony of Laura Wilkerson of Texas. In 2010, her youngest son Josh, a senior in high school, was murdered by a 19-year-old undocumented immigrant. Before strangling Wilkerson, Hermilo Moralez beat her son so brutally that his head split in four places. According to the Houston Chronicle, Moralez was a citizen of Belize who had been charged with misdemeanor harassment earlier that year. A jury found Moralez guilty in 2013.  (And, sadly, her story is not unique.  Illegal aliens murdering Americans is commonplace now, thanks to fucking assholes like San Francisco's Bolshevik Board).

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, a Republican, is working on legislation to block some federal funding to sanctuary cities that, like San Francisco, do not comply with federal immigration detainers. His bill also would set a minimum sentence of five years for illegal re-entry. Like Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who has urged San Francisco to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Grassley has a handle on the destructive consequences of sanctuary policies.

Would Grassley’s bill stop another senseless murder? It won’t stop them all. And yet: If Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi had handed Lopez-Sanchez over to ICE, the feds would have deported him and he would not have been in San Francisco on July 1 (not like he cares). To go by his rap sheet, however, Lopez-Sanchez would have been back in the U.S. in short order: He wouldn’t stay in Mexico and he couldn’t stay out of jail. In 1998, Lopez-Sanchez was sentenced to 63 months for illegal re-entry. Within months of his deportation, he had crossed the border. Next: 71 months for illegal re-entry. Three months after his release, he was caught again. Next: 66 months, then a trip to San Francisco, where he was released. Thank you, City Hall.  (And thank you President Obama, and Bush, and Clinton, and Bush Sr. for not securing the border in the first place!)

First the pro-undocumented lobby erased any distinction between legal and undocumented immigrants (and are now trying to erase any distinction between violent and non-violent criminals, like we should allow ANY foreign criminals into the US) — with the argument that most people here illegally are otherwise law-abiding residents. OK. Does City Hall think it’s doing these folks a favor by blocking the deportation of habitual criminals who can slip into their neighborhoods and disappear? (So it's a numbers game, basically... I mean, what's a dead white woman to these racist pricks?  A bonus, basically.  And I will go into this in much more detail in a later post, but SF's Sanctuary City Policy was designed from the very beginning to shield violent criminals - specifically gang members - thanks to so-called "immigrant's rights groups" who were basically to MS-13 and the Nortenos what Sinn Fein is to the IRA).

Wilkerson told the Judiciary Committee, “Sanctuary city policies scream to the criminal element of illegals in this country: ‘Come to our town USA, we’ll protect you from our terrible policemen. We’ll protect you from these tough American laws.’”

San Franciscans like to think that they are sophisticated. Sure, they are so smart they can tell the world: Immigrant felons, here is your sanctuary.

Meanwhile, that septic tank of Bay Area journalism - the SF Examiner - has printed some truly unbelievable editorials apologizing for SF's murderous Sanctuary City Policy and even doubling down on it, but more on that fucking bullshit later.
