UPDATED: The Murder By Proxy Of Kathryn Steinle

Crime,Government,IMMIGRATION

            

San Francisco is a “sanctuary city” for the likes of Francisco Sanchez, but not for Kathryn Steinle’s ilk. This beautiful, innocent young woman is dead, murdered. Who killed her, allegedly? Francisco Sanchez did, allegedly. Did this criminal illegal alien have accessories to the crime? He did. These are the lawmakers and law enforcers of the “sanctuary city” of San Francisco. Via NBC:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Sanchez was turned over to San Francisco authorities in March, and that the agency had asked for him to remain in custody until immigration authorities could pick him up. That request was not honored, ICE told The Associated Press. Sanchez’s criminal history includes seven prior felony convictions, four of which involve narcotics charges, ICE said in a statement.

San Francisco is a “sanctuary city,” one of a host of places across the U.S. that gives some protection to illegal immigrants by barring local officials from asking people about their immigration status. Steinle’s death has sparked debate over whether sanctuary cities need to re-examine their policies.

Doff of the hat to Linda Schrock Taylor (author of Read Better! For Adults & Teens) for sending a resource called “US Illegal Alien Crime Report.” Government refuses to tally the culling of innocent Americans by this cohort. So citizen journalists are doing the dirty work.

Ms. Steinle’s name won’t find its way into President Obama’s racial bloviations.

UPDATE (7/5): This death is not about aggregates; propensities for crime; it’s about a life that should not have been taken; a girl that should NOT be dead, and who is dead b/c of the state. To justify his presence that day around that young woman, you would have to show that had Sanchez been deported or jailed, his victim would have nevertheless suffered the same fate at the hands of another local murderer. A deeply silly suggestion, you would agree.
