But the problem is that sanctuary laws mistakenly, in practice, fail to exempt immigrants with prior deportations or criminal convictions. Some prominent examples in California: Kate Steinle, Ronil Singh, and now Bambi Larson.

I agree with the SJPD chief that undocumented immigrants who are otherwise not committing violent crimes should not have to fear being turned in to ICE. We need to find a way to make sure that sanctuary laws do not protect criminals!

And then for other states that do NOT have sanctuary laws, the right wing response to crimes there committed by undocumented immigrants is "build the wall!" Because the high price tag is SO worth offsetting the relatively small risk.
