Notice how they are now called immigrants instead of illegal aliens.

I do believe, that San Francisco, and other cities in the gay bay area, declared themselves to be "sanctuary cities" for illegal aliens.

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.

"This senseless and totally preventable act of violence committed by an illegal immigrant is yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately," Trump said in a statement.
"This is an absolutely disgraceful situation and I am the only one that can fix it. Nobody else has the guts to even talk about it," the billionaire developer and television personality said.

When announcing his plans on June 16 to seek the Republican nomination for president, Trump described immigrants from Mexico to the United States as drug-runners and rapists.

Francisco Sanchez, a convicted felon who had already been deported five times, was set free by San Francisco officials despite a federal request to detain him for deportation again. He was arrested in the apparent random shooting death this week of Kathryn Steinle at San Francisco’s popular Pier 14. San Francisco officials say they were merely following city policy when they released the undocumented immigrant in April.

DHS indicates ICE indicates SFPD indicates.....f--k up rinse lather repeat. You've told us nothing except to tell us that you've told us that you've told us nothing. That tells us...., nothing besides none of you take your jobs seriously, laws, enforcement, crime, extradition, immigration, drugs, interagency collaboration for the service protection justice reform is not worth a phonecall to someone you have on speed. dial and email a fax filling out a form isn't worth your paycheck. It isn't worth a human life that is irreplaceable. Your precinct, sector, district city county state country doesn't mean 5#it. What about the judge or magestrates that released him without any explanation as to how th f--k a convicted felon gets released on a drug charge when they're on probation in another state and have been deported 5 times already.

PBS - Frontline - 'It's Not JUST About Illegals - It's About A UNSECURED BORDER'

In a cemetery in the border town of Tijuana, there is a shrine to a young soldier, Juan Soldado, who is the patron saint for migrants trying to cross illegally into the United States. It'��s the place where FRONTLINE/World reporter Lowell Bergman arranges to meet a smuggler, or pollero, who has agreed to talk about the business of human smuggling on condition that we not reveal his identity. We call him '��Rafael.'�� He'��s been a smuggler for ten years and he tells Bergman how he got started in the business.

'I had this friend who had a lot of money and he was like 16 and I was like 18 at the time and I was like, dude, how did you make all that money?'�� recalls Rafael. '��He didn'��t want to tell me at first, and then when he told me, I didn'��t believe him. So he took me to the people and they offered me a job too.'

To show how the smuggling business works, Rafael drives Bergman around Tijuana, which, though peaceful during the day, has turned into one of the most dangerous cities in Mexico due to the drug trade and human trafficking. Rafael says danger is part of the allure of the business - '��an adrenaline rush' when he sneaks people across the border.

Since 9/11, Rafael says that the U.S. has tightened security along the border, but he says the smugglers have learned to adjust, finding more sophisticated hiding places in their vehicles for the migrants they are transporting, creating false documents to show border guards, and charging their clients more for their services.

'��Now more than ever,' says Bergman, '��most migrants need the help of a smuggler to get across the border - making them indispensable. As a result the smugglers say they’re making more money than ever.'

In the past, illegal migrants crossed the border at spots where they were less likely to be spotted -�� sometimes risking long treks through the desert. But the U.S. government is spending billions to build up a border fence, fortified by surveillance cameras, bright lights and many more border guards. So an increasing number of people who enter the U.S. illegally do so through the regular Ports of Entry with the help of professional smugglers.

At the San Ysidro Port of Entry – between Tijuana and San Diego – over 100,000 people cross every day. It’s the busiest land border crossing in the world. The sheer volume of traffic makes it impossible for U.S. border guards to check every vehicle and every document. If they did, the border would shut down.

And if the inspectors do spot a fake ID or uncover migrants hidden in car trunks, the repercussions are minimal, even for the smugglers, because the courts cannot possibly handle the number of cases. Buses carry the illegal migrants who are caught back across the border, where they usually turn around and try again. That goes for the smugglers, too. Rafael says he was caught smuggling once, but was quickly released.

There is one guaranteed way for migrants to get across on their first try, says Rafael - if a smuggling operation is able to bribe a U.S. border official.

'I have known inspectors that are crooked,'�� asserts Rafael. '��But you would never talk about them and you will never say you have one, because it'��s your golden meal ticket because those are like very, very hard to catch. They would make a lot of money because it’s failsafe, it'��s secure.'

Terry Reed, an FBI agent in San Diego, is part of a Border Corruption Task Force and he acknowledges that the problem of corrupt border guards is growing. He recounts one of the most important cases, which started with a tip from an informant who alleged that a guard at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry known as El Guero -�� '��the white guy'�� or 'the blond'�� -�� was working with a smuggling operation. It wasn'��t much to go on. Then, a year later, another tip led to a woman named Aurora Torres, who was a suspected smuggler. Reed set-up a sting operation. At a meeting in a McDonald'��s in San Diego, which was secretly videotaped, Torres agreed to transport a client across the border, saying it was a sure thing because she was working with an officer at the Otay Mesa port. What she didn’t know was that the client was an undercover FBI operative. When he was driven to the border, the operative says a blond Customs Inspector quickly waved their car through.

Reed'��s undercover operation tracked Torres as she took her group of illegal immigrants, and the FBI plant, to a San Diego suburb, to what is known in the trade as a '��load house,'�� a place where smugglers hold the migrants until a relative or friend arrives to pay the required smuggling fee. A member of Reed’s team, posing as a relative, showed up to pay $3,500 to pick up their operative. Later, the operative told his FBI handlers that he'��d read the name on the badge of the guard who waved them through: It was '��Gilliland.'��

At the time, Michael Gilliland, a former Marine, was a decorated Customs and Border Protection inspector with 16 years experience. Investigators began to follow him and wiretap his phone calls, including calls from Aurora Torres, the leader of the smuggling group. 'From these wiretaps, obtained by FRONTLINE/World, it appears the two [Torres and Gilliland] were having an intimate relationship,' says Bergman. “The FBI told me that it'��s a well-known tactic that smugglers use sex to entice border agents into compromising relationships.'��

Still, the FBI needed proof that Gilliland was taking bribes. They managed to record surveillance video of Gilliland entering Torres’ residence, then leaving carrying a plastic bag. 'He was coming to pick up his money,'�� says Reed.

A month later the FBI videotaped Gilliland waving cars through his lane at the Port of Entry, not looking at identification, not asking questions, not searching cars. One of the vehicles caught on the tape -- a black GMC Yukon -- was driven by Torres with 11 illegal immigrants inside. The FBI finally had all the evidence they needed. They arrested Gilliland and Torres.

'Rafael,'�� the smuggler, tells Bergman that a lot of different families are involved in the smuggling trade these days, like Torres. He says the small operations pay off organized crime in Tijuana to allow them to operate.

'��These smuggling groups can afford it,'�� reports Bergman. '��When Torres was arrested, the FBI found nearly half a million dollars in a safe in her bedroom. She pled guilty to smuggling and was sentenced to three and a half years in federal prison.'��

Gilliland also pled guilty to accepting approximately $100,000 in bribe money. He was sentenced to five years in prison and ordered to pay a $200,000 fine. But no one knows how many illegal migrants he let into the country or how much money he made.

And Gilliland is only one of many such cases. Federal officials say there have been over a hundred similar busts in the last five years. Just this month a guard was arrested at the same Otay Mesa Port of Entry where Gilliland worked. There are now nearly 200 open investigations of corruption along the U.S. border with Mexico.

'��There'��s more pressure on the other side of the border from the smuggling organizations to elicit the help of a corrupt border official,” says FBI agent Andy Black. '��The pool of individuals who are susceptible to corruption has grown.'

FRONTLINE/World made numerous requests to interview the man in charge of all border issues, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, but he declined. At a press conference, where Bergman finally catches up with him, Chertoff says the bigger the police force on the border, the more corruption cases there will be.

San Diego Congressman Duncan Hunter, an advocate of building an 800-mile fence along the Mexican border, says it'��s '��tragic'�� that some border guards succumb to corruption, but that the government should continue to fortify the border. But University of California at San Diego immigration expert Wayne Cornelius suggests this is futile. His study indicates that 97% of the people who try to cross the border eventually succeed, despite all the obstacles. 'If they don'��t succeed on the first try, they almost certainly will succeed on the second or the third try,'�� says Cornelius.

Back In Tijuana, 'Rafael,'�� the smuggler, tells Bergman he'��s not worried about going out of business any time soon, due to a U.S. clampdown on the border. '��The smuggling people business, the pollero business, will stop only when there are no borders,' he argues. '��Unless you can stop poverty or hunger, it will never stop, because people will always want to help their families. Doesn’t matter how tall the wall is, they will just dig a hole then. So you will never stop people getting across [into] the United States.'��

Something striking and a telling trait: being able to discern the unique difference between a true Mexican and a Arabic Terrorist = facial hair! The 'Mexican' culture that was mixed with the native Americans {Indian} can't grow facial hair {actually very little body hair: chest/back/legs/underarms}---not so with the Arabic blood lines!

Just say'n; we've got thousands of miles of a lackadaisical border left wide open and spent far to many billions building a half hazard worthless fence that the ranchers are mending and seeing crossing over/around/through ---

WHERE'S THE BORDER PATROL? There isn't one!!! And then the places that there are the 'PAID BORDER PATROL'...well here's what PBS Frontline found: bribes and too many methods of getting by paid border agents that just don't give-a-crap!

seems odd how the liberals in here know he has been deported 5 times, on probation in Texas, killed a beautiful young American citizen, and griping about San Fransisco not reporting him to ICE... news flash people, ICE had already dropped the ball 5 times before this, so not entirely the cities fault here...


the blame should be on the government, whose lax policies and deportation flaws are the real issue here...

Learn how to read. That's what the OP posted from the news article. You know who is riding the LIBERAL wave? Donald Trump. The CONSERVATIVE viewpoint would not be willing to 'take the battle' to our southern border. You know who's eating Trump's paid publicity, republicans that are to stupid to know the difference between liberal and conservative. Seeing how he's second in the GOP I guess there's a lot of you.

ICE and only ICE dropped the ball huh? Who deported him 5 times successfully? ICE. Who had him on probation in the 1st place? Texas, likely where his cartel/gang/suppliers had him cross in the 1st place. Who didn't send him back to prison in Texas for breaking his probation by leaving the state and committing ANOTHER felony on AT LEAST 3 occasions? The state of California and or the respective cities that he committed the felony drug and other arrests in. ---NEWS FLASH--- ICE doesn't report him to law enforcement, enforcement reports them to ICE. If you knew how to read you would know that the SFPD REFUSED to hold him on the FELONY charge they arrested him for before ICE could send an agent to get him.
ICE specifically requested that the SFPD hold him but they claim to allegedly have no legal reason to hold him. ---NEWS FLASH--- committing a felony and or being on conditional probation in any state goes into a national FBI database on a thing called a computer. It's not like the old days where you can just ride to a town where nobody recognizes you and take your criminal enterprise with you. ICE didn't release him, the SFPD did. ICE didn't arrest him on a FELONY drug charge, miss his parole violation, miss the fact that he already had 3 strikes, or FAIL to formally charge and judicate him on yet another felony. Could this be because they were too lazy to run him through the database? Too lazy to transfer him to another facility because they didn't want to do the paperwork? Too lazy to walk him down the hallway to a magestrates office to begin the legal process to hold him for the CRIME they arrested him for in the first place? Or is it that everyone involved in a law enforcement judiciary and correctional capacity from the arresting officers (SFPD) to their superior (SFPD) to the booking officer (SFPD) the superior officer at the precinct facility where he was booked (SFPD) to the magistrate responsibile for legally charging him (SF DOJ) AND the officer who OFFICIALLY process his release were ALL LIBERALS? I suppose the border patrol who let him back in illegaly for the 6th time was also LIBERAL?
Yea ICE dropped the ball. They didn't send anyone back to Mexico with him to make sure that he never crossed the border again.
