Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, the immigrant who entered the United States illegally and was charged with murdering California resident Kate Steinle in 2015, was found not guilty Thursday by a San Francisco jury. President Trump, who has used Steinles death to promote harsh immigration policies, quickly responded by calling for a border wall, adding that the Steinle killer came back and back over the weakly protected Obama border, always committing crimes and being violent.
These claims are just not true. In reality, the case highlights how much border security has improved and how little a threat undocumented immigrants pose. From 1991 to 1996, Garcia Zarate did cross the border illegally a couple of times. But as Border Patrol doubled and then tripled the number of agents, it caught him every time twice in 1998, in 2003 and again in 2009, the only attempt in the Obama era.
Even when Garcia Zarate did make it over the border in the early 1990s, he never committed violent crimes, but rather activities such as inhaling vapors, selling imitation drugs and possessing marijuana and heroin. After each border apprehension since 1998, he served years-long prison terms for attempting to reenter illegally after his deportations. He certainly broke laws, but never with violence.

Oh, but it is.
Cato is describing immigration of a 100 years ago. Nowadays it is a bit different.
Kate would still be alive if this murderer had been permanently removed back to Mexico before that horrible day.
Liberals are 100% responsible for this crime.
I doubt if President Trump made this about IMMIGRATION...
Its not about IMMIGRATION...
the murderer is not an IMMIGRANT...
the murderer is an illegal alien...
He didn’t IMMIGRATE not one time nor 6...
That’s nice you don’t think that Kate was about “immigration” but, no one else shares your view...
Only one question matters, which might lead to a second question.
Had the illegal alien NOT been in San Fransicko on that day, would he have been able to shoot and kill Miss Steinley? Or do you (this idiotic WaPo writer,) think that she still would have been shot and killed by someone else at that same date and time?
Of course those are the two questions they refuse to answer seriously.

Why does CATO have clowns like this on their staff?
>> In reality, the case highlights how much border security has improved and how little a threat undocumented immigrants pose
So David Bier makes the case for improved border security...
No doubt WAPO is doing the “cheap labor” bidding for Amazon.
How do these people (like the author) live with themselves?
The twit looks weak and confused. Eventually he will realize what a waste his existance is...and end it.
1st sentence: ...Zarate, the immigrant who entered the United States illegally and was charged with murdering...
The lefts own words state it IS about illegal immigration!
....or maybe an illegal will
He even LOOKS clueless, which he most assuredly is.

>> “Kate Steinle would not necessarily agree with wapo.” <<
They didn’t give her a chance!

He had several felony convictions for violence.
.
Nothing to do with immigration.
It’s about wetbacks, it’s about an invasion force of foreign nationals, it’s about violent criminals that are not prosecuted.

Multiple birth defects!
No wonder he works for the Compost.

Definitely a soy-boy...
