NEW YORK (Reuters) - A random fatal shooting in San Francisco, allegedly by an immigrant, proves the United States must tighten its borders, according to a statement on Friday by U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is facing heavy criticism for his comments about Mexicans.

Kathryn Steinle, 32, was fatally shot as she walked with her father along the popular Embarcadero pier on Wednesday in what San Francisco police described as an apparent random attack.

Francisco Sanchez, 45, was quickly arrested nearby. He is on probation from Texas, police said.

He has a long criminal history and has been deported to Mexico five times, according to local media reports.

Reuters cannot admit the man was an illegal alien from Mexico.

Somehow they took this tragedy and managed to twist it to a trash Trump screed.

Reuters should know that the American people know what they have done with their propaganda over the years and one day we'll endeavor to make it even.

So these people come into our nation in violation of our laws, live off our system, send their sick, unvaccinated children to our schools, suck up housing and welfare benefits, demand anyone who speaks out about any of the above or try to stop them be punished and what Trump said was offensive?????

You can have security or you can have open borders. You can’t have both.

This kind of crap will continue to occur and continue to validate that Trump is speaking politically incorrect truth.

How many examples do these liberal idiots need? How many more have to die? There are thousands of other examples of illegals committing violent crime in the USA.

Trump has been under fire for two weeks.

Yet his poll numbers keep rising.

Taking bets.

How long will it be before some leftist nutball says Trump paid for this to prove his argument?

Starting now...

We’ve seen crazier this week.

From the article:

"...has been deported to Mexico five times..."

Seems pretty obvious that he's an illegal alien, per that statement.

They start the story as if there is no logical connection to Trump’s position.

Damn Reuters, the SOB was an Illegal Alien deported 5 times. The bastard wasn't here picking lettuce in Arizona. Now he has committed capital murder right in the tourist district of San Francisco. Get a Grip on Reality.

You can force Obamacare on us, not honor the second amendment, but you do not have to cooperate with a federal detainer from ICE if you are an illegal in San Francisco.

Now watch the media refer to him as “this gentleman.”

Trump should start running ads giving daily stats for crimes committed by illegal aliens intertwined with lukewarm stances from the other candidates.

...then lock up the election by doing the same with Muslims worldwide.

It gets even better. He was in jail and ICE requested that he be held for pick up. SF officials released him anyway.

San Francisco: No 'legal basis' to hold shooting suspect

Freya Horne, counsel for the sheriff's office, said Friday that federal detention orders are not a legal basis to hold someone, so Sanchez was released April 15. San Francisco is a sanctuary city, and local money cannot be spent to cooperate with federal immigration law.

"How many examples"

Facts don't matter to libs....only the narrative matters. In liberal land, facts don't have to adhere to reality...reality is what they, libs, in their drug-addled dreams say it is.

The question now is Trump a serious general or just a sideshow. He is through the enemy defenses. Does he now turn and seriously roll up their flank or just fail to take advantage?
