In a slap in the face to the family of Kate Steinle, a young woman who last year was killed by an illegal immigrant, San Francisco has decided to retain its status as a sanctuary city.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved legislation that upholds the city's policy on limiting law enforcement from providing assistance to federal immigration authorities aiming to apprehend or deport individuals.
The board's decision allows illegal immigrants like Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez to escape proper punishment. Sanchez, who had been deported five times before, shot and killed Steinle last summer while she was walking along the San Francisco pier. Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi released Lopez-Sanchez even though federal authorities wanted the city to keep him behind bars. The tragedy spawned Kate's Law, legislation that would demand a minimum 5-year prison sentence for any illegal immigrant here in the U.S. who been previously been deported.
Yet, San Francisco officials have apparently decided political correctness is more important than its citizens' safety. God forbid their disastrous decision results in more Kate Steinles.
A second vote on the sanctuary city ordinance is scheduled for next Tuesday.
They need the cheapest labor to help finance their perversions and clean their toilets at home and in the bathhouses
They don’t give a damn about Kate.
And asking them about it is something they find REALLY irritating.
So Shut. Up.
Law abiding citizens are getting fed up with this crap by politicians, they should give it some real thought.
And Donald Trump is still a bigot for his response to what happened in that tragedy, so that is why that city stays a “sanctuary city”. Only in the marmalade skies world of these people is this coherent.
Perhaps it is time to bring back the Ducks and Hounds to clean up the city.
Make another old ship into a prison.
San Francisco has been scratched from places to visit in a trip to California. It used to be a great city. It no longer is.
I’ve heard SF has homeless all over and that much of the city has the stench of old urine. Bending over backwards to.prove how.liberal you are creates its own set of new problems.
Yep, it’s a cesspool compared to what it was many years ago.
Illegal aliens will have to target homosexuals before San Fransissy entertains doing away with it’s “Sanctuary City” status.
Nobody cares about white American chicks.
I agree, if illegals started targeting the LGBT sicko crowd the sanctuary city policy would be changed immediately.
Every time.
They need to be physically thrown out of office.
“ideology trumps life” it like of one the principles of radical liberalism. Those poor fools in CA don’t know that a democrat bullet will kill you faster than a heart attack.
A few people follow that lead and you'd have a change in attitude real fast.
Social Justice Warriors have hearts of stone.
There are thousands of Kate Steinles all over the country.
