Jersey City’s sanctuary city policy is facing scrutiny this week following the revelation that the alleged Lincoln Park killer is an undocumented immigrant who has been deported twice.
The policy, enacted via executive order by Mayor Steve Fulop in February 2017 and endorsed unanimously by the City Council, was intended to illustrate that Jersey City is a welcoming city to immigrants, its supporters say. But critics slam it as evidence that Democrats like Fulop aren’t thinking straight on immigration.
Joshua Sotomayor Einstein, a Hoboken man and committee member with the New Jersey Republican Party, said Democrats act like any action taken to curb immigration or deport criminals is immoral, when in fact such actions merely reflect equal application of the law.
“I think we need to fight against nativist and xenophobia, but definitely having unequal application of the law breeds that,” Einstein said. “Not only does it end up in these horrible situations where a deported illegal alien ends up murdering someone, but it tears at that bedrock principal that we have that everyone is equal under the law."
Jorge Rios, also known as Jorge Alberto Rios-Doblado, was arrested on Saturday and charged in the rape and murder of Carolina Cano, a 45-year-old woman whose body was found in Lincoln Park on March 24. Immigration officials confirmed this week that Rios, 33, entered the United States illegally and has been deported twice before. Rios is originally from Honduras.
Jersey City Councilman Rich Boggiano, who represents the heavily immigrant Journal Square area, supported the sanctuary city order when it came before the council. But the councilman, a Democrat, said episodes like the Lincoln Park killing are why the United States needs to “close the border.”

That might be the coolest name ever.
Nothing is going to change until the politicians are arrested and charged as an accessory after the fact for assisting and protecting criminal foreign invaders.
Does this or does this not pertain to them??
Accessory after the fact:
Definition. An accessory-after-the-fact is someone who assists 1) someone who has committed a crime, 2) after the person has committed the crime, 3) with knowledge that the person committed the crime, and 4) with the intent to help the person avoid arrest or punishment.
Cousin of Juan Epstein.
Remind me what the Republican Congress did to halt sanctuary cities
What was the legislation that Paul Ryan and Mitch brought forward?
Correction: “tragic that Democrats AND REPUBLICANS are not smart enough to think ahead and understand what the ultimate destructive results of many of their policies will be...... “
There. Fixed it for you
most murders in Jersey City are done by citizens within several blocks of MLK Jr Drive.
They need to start suing the people who put this sanctuary idiocy in place. They don’t care a twit about the lost lives of American citizens or the heartache caused the suffering survivors and friends.
The article incorrectly defines this sub-human, oxygen thief as an “undocumented immigrant.” I’m sorry but the correct term is illegal immigrant. Next thing youknow they’ll refer to drug dealers as “undocumented pharmacists.”
The media here is sketchy on details of the victim’s status as well; this is the next town to the east from me, and many South Americans here are illegals. Many of the pizzerias of my youth are now restaurants catering to them (the replacement Americans), and the Peruvian Day parade became much larger than our St. Patrick’s Day parade years ago.
