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.

They don’t care. Liberalism is a mental illness. Those mongrels consider American lives lost to the wetback invasion as sacrifices to their god of political correctness.

This puts a new spin on “inconvenient truth”, doesn’t it?

What I don’t understand is why Hispanic citizens here aren’t mad about illegal immigration. Most of them worked hard to get here legally. I know several legal immigrants (now all citizens) and they are damn mad about the hoops they (as very desirable, high-skill individuals) had to jump through to get here and stay here while these people just walk right in.

Amazingly enough, on a SF newspaper site I was reading, the remarks are 30% that this is really the fault of guns being available.

But on Yahoo News, where this story is buried, 100% of the comments are directed against the illegal himself, the illegal invasion, the leftist voting strategy, liberal SF and most want him executed, although in CA there is not death penalty.

“Yet they refer to him only as “immigrant”.”

Like calling the 9/11 crews “recent immigrants involved in plane accidents”.

Why is there an epidemic of heroin overdoses in America? Answer: Because of Mexican opium cultivation. When Mexican pot growers found that American growers of legal pot were taking their market away, they have shifted over to opium for heroin. Also, there already was a shift among prescription drug users to heroin. This has fueled a huge inflow of heroin, which Trump has put his finger on.

“immigrant”

The wife and I were watching a TV cooking show, `Master Chef’. Last season the eventual winner “Courtney’ held herself out as an `aerial dancer.’ This is how she paid the bills.
Wife and I looked at one another.... Whut?

Sometime during the final show in which the `aerial dancer’ was crowned Master Chef, we were surprised to learn that Courtney worked in a strip bar as a pole dancer.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. It was just the MSM selling the sizzle.

Immigrant: criminal, deported five times. The federal gov’s main function is to secure the several states from invasion. That and to facilitate trade were the main reasons the states created this artificial thing, their monster.

In 2015 they do just about everything but defense or trade; to the contrary, I suspect if you dig into this, you might find that this cockroach was aided in some way in returning to this country by ... this country. And the assistance to the roach probably involved spending tax dollars, not filling the national coffers.

my thoughts too. How much evidence does it take before the left wakes up to the border and the problems we have with illegals breaking the law and Americans being killed, robbed, raped ?

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

All his people would have to do is peruse the first few pages of FR every morning. There are ample article posted every damned day here chronicling the criminal behavior of Illegal immigrants.
Next he could follow the same routine and glean the latest black-perpetrated murders. Some days there are close to a dozen articles on that facit of criminal behavior, with an occasional “really good story” where the Black perp has been shot to death by the guy he was trying to rob and there are your Second Amendment ledes for the day.
At the end of the day, this next election won’t be won by pandering to either Blacks or “Mexicans,” because they are still two too small segments of the population here. It will be the white folks who elect our next president! They are the one’s who need this kind of information fed to them in a way that even the stupidest of the lot can understand.

The left pretends to not be aware of FBI interracial violent crime statistics so I am not sure they ever will wake up. They see what they want to see. Doesn’t matter of rape is 100-1 black on white crime to liberals. It’s all still whitey’s fault.

I am past sick of the liberal BS that is ruining this nation.

I don’t think that he will be President (and I seriously wonder if he wants to be) but he owns the ball right now, and I’ll bet that the RINO’s are changing their Depends hourly over it.

I bet the Rinos are waiting for their chance to say at the mic, “ But ‘immigrants’ are the life blood of this country and we should not tarnish all illegals with this isolated incident.”

He’s NOT an immigrant and Im sick and tired of these illegal scum bags being called “Immigrants” my family immigrated to America from Israel back in the late 60s, they came here LEGALLY..what this scum bag and other illegals do is cross the border, suck America dry in freebies, then go around committing crimes. Calling them immigrants is an insult to real immigrants

Good material for post #14. Let them do it.

So, how many press conferences/ads does it take until no one, even brain-dead liberals, believes that they are “isolated”? Let’s find out.

How possibly could San Francisco not be sued into bankruptcy over this by the family of the victim?

Would they even care?

When Newsom was mayor an illegal released from jail and not deported killed two men in a family in their car because they cut him off in a lane merge downtown.

Th family was demonstrated against and Newsom refused to change the policy. F is a serious sanctuary city. new some will most likely be next governor of Cal.

Nor =t wrong. They “say” we have a Death Penalty, but I can’t remember the last time it was used.

The CA AG, Kathryn Harris (hoping to get the Senate Seat Barbara Boxer is retiring from) personally doesn’t support the Death Penalty and she does nothing to make sure the Sentences are carried out even though she is obligated by her Oath of Office to do so.
