Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was a poster boy not just for the folly of sanctuary policies but also for the mass low-skilled Hispanic immigration that has transformed California. A barely literate drug dealer from Mexico with a second-grade education, no English, and a penchant for criminal aliases, Garcia Zarate had been deported five times by federal immigration authorities following convictions for various crimes.
Californias once-unrivalled status as the countrys most educated state has long since disintegrated under the waves of low-skilled, low-social-capital Mexican and Central American immigrants. Now, California's K-12 system rivals Mississippi and Alabama as an education backwater. The states school-age population, now majority Hispanic, lacks competitive linguistic and math skills. (Of course, defense counsel conducted part of their post-verdict press conference in Spanish, oblivious to the symbolism.) California is becoming another Brazil, divided between fabulously wealthy elites hunkered down in their own coastal sanctuaries, and a poor, Third World population. Before the rest of the country ends up in the same situation, the immigration policies that gave rise to the Steinle homicide must change. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been conducting a largely unheralded effort to end sanctuary jurisdictions, but the illegal-alien lawyers lobby has fought him at every turn.
Sessionss efforts would be immensely aided if Congress finally passed the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act sponsored by Virginia congressman Bob Goodlatte. That bill would clarify ICEs authority to enforce federal detainer requests and would confirm the attorney generals authority to withhold federal funding from scofflaw jurisdictions. Most importantly, it would allow both the federal government and victims of sanctuary policies to sue sanctuary governments.

Hard to believe they’d do it just to stick it to Trump. Murder one was doomed from the start. And they say we are the decisive ones.
“most educated” is not necessarily a good thing!
and certainly not when it comes to even a rudimentary understanding of public policy or economics
“most educated” in Californication, at least, often means the person can program new children’s computer games or apps.
and the rest of the “most educateds” include many with degrees in “liberal arts”... which isn’t bad per se, not at all, but “liberal arts” taught by commies ARE NOT LIBERAL ARTS they’re indoctrination................
no, “most educated” is not always a good thing, often indeed it is a bad thing, sorry to have to say
The illegal-alien lobby at the WaPo certainly did. The upshot of this is the holy grail of progressive politics: a Protected Class is quite literally above the law, up to and including murder. And citizens may not look to the state for protection under the law.
And they wonder why we're buying guns.
Old homosexuals walking around naked.
They had to hire people to keep track of all the human feces on their sidewalks.
The escalators don’t work because all the human feces has jammed them.
But people live their because there is so much culture.
I am a conservative Republican living in SF. The situation in this city is bad, but its still a great place to live.
The prosecutor over charged....
I agree and any “normal” 12 people would have decided involuntary manslaughter in 5 minutes.
“I am a conservative Republican living in SF. The situation in this city is bad, but its still a great place to live.”
You and Michael Savage. Hey, I hear that Afghanistan sucks but is lovely in the fall.
Where to start? Human excrement on the sidewalks? Druggies? Needle paraphernalia? "Sanctuary city"? Crime? AIDS? Segregation?
Once California was the Golden State.

San Francisco has no shame. Sodom and gonorrhea.
“Once California was the Golden State.”
Now its the Golden Shower State.
Post of the day! Right on !!
“I am a conservative Republican living in SF. The situation in this city is bad, but its still a great place to live.”
Yeah, if you manage to stay alive.
Afghanistan was once a beautiful country, so they say.
Danger to life is everywhere.
Lebanon was Paris.
