On Thursday, a jury acquitted Jose Ines Garcia Zarate of all homicide charges filed in connection with the murder of Kate Steinle.\u00a0 That verdict baffled ordinary citizens and legal experts alike.<\/p>\n
The media has yet to interview any of the jurors in the case, so it\u2019s impossible to know whether this was a case of \u201cjury nullification,\u201d or whether the prosecution fell asleep at the wheel.\u00a0 Either way, most \u00a0Americans are astounded<\/a> that an illegal alien who killed a U.S. citizen could be acquitted by a sane jury.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what Americans need to know about this case:<\/p>\n Sanctuary City Policies Are Dangerous<\/strong><\/p>\n Weak Immigration Enforcement May Prove Deadly<\/strong><\/p>\n The federal government has tolerated dangerous<\/a> state<\/a> and local sanctuary policies for far too long. American citizens, lawful immigrants, and even other illegal aliens keep becoming victims of alien criminals because too many presidential administrations have refused to take immigration enforcement seriously.<\/p>\n President Trump has the right idea. It\u2019s time to get serious about enforcing our immigration laws. We must secure our borders<\/a> with a physical<\/a> barrier<\/a>, eliminate dangerous sanctuary policies, and start taking immigration enforcement seriously.<\/p>\n Americans deserve to be safe in their own communities \u2013 but they won’t be if we allow the Garcia Zarate\u2019s of the world to stroll across our borders at will. \n
