Immigration and Customs Enforcement claims they placed a detainer order on the illegal alien.

But San Francisco is a sanctuary city, meaning that unless the feds have a court order or warrant demanding that the local authorities turn over a violent offender, the ICE detainer order gets ignored.

According to a local ABC news affiliate, the confessed killer admitted during an interview that he picked San Francisco precisely because it is a sanctuary city.

Within hours of the California killing, a Laredo, Texas, woman was beaten to death with a hammer by her illegal-alien husband.

He too had been deported — four times — and the Laredo police admitted they had three violent encounters with the illegal alien and his wife. Yet the police never notified border patrol.

Recall the nearly 60,000 unaccompanied alien children — UACs — that came into the country over our Southwest border last year.

According to ICE records, nearly 98% of the kids are placed with extended family, guardians or foster caregivers in this country, and given a notice to appear before an immigration judge at a future date.

As many as 90% of the kids never show up. And while the flood of last year has diminished, UACs still come.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates illegal immigration costs Californians $25 billion per year when you include the cost of educating children of illegal aliens.

Peter Kirsanow, a black member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, said the commission studied the impact of illegal immigration on urban employment. He said all commission members — conservatives, moderates and liberals — agreed that porous borders especially threaten job prospects of those living in urban America.

He sent a letter to Congresswoman Marcia Fudge, then head of the Congressional Black Caucus, to ask why little is being done about it. He never heard back.

While Trump unfairly maligned all Mexican illegal aliens, he nevertheless articulates what the polls show: Most Americans believe that illegal immigration threatens prosperity and that it changes the American electorate to create more Democrats.
