Francisco Sanchez’s murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco last week was a result not only of the Obama administration’s failed immigration policy, but also of the city’s policy:

An undocumented immigrant suspected of killing a woman at a San Francisco pier said he chose the city for its sanctuary policies — that is, he knew San Francisco was a good place to avoid deportation, he told ABC station KGO-TV. . . .
Kate Steinle, 32, who was walking the pier with her father, was shot dead, authorities said, noting that Sanchez, 45, was arrested an hour later.
Sanchez, who was on probation in Texas at the time of the shooting, served time in federal prison for repeatedly sneaking back into the country, authorities said.
Sanchez told KGO-TV that he kept coming back to the country because he was “looking for jobs in the restaurant or roofing, landscaping, or construction.” He said he knew San Francisco was a sanctuary city where he would not be pursued by immigration officials.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had said in a statement that Sanchez was turned over to the San Francisco Police Department this past March on an outstanding drug warrant, and that the department requested that police notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement prior to his release so ICE officers could make arrangements to take custody.
However, the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department said that it had no “legal basis” to hold Sanchez based on a federal immigration detainer, according to the Associated Press.

“Let ’em in” (Democrat immigration policy) and “Turn ’em loose” (Democrat crime policy) operated in perfect synchronization to put this foreign criminal on that pier in San Francisco so that he could kill Kate Steine. The political power of the Democrat Party is crucially dependent on its support from the criminal element in society, and the party reciprocates that support by promoting policies favorable to criminals. Democrats look at dangerous criminals — thieves, burglars,  drug addicts, sex perverts, illegal aliens like Francisco Sanchez — and sees a potential vote for Democrats. The party’s media operatives are assigned to do emotional feature stories that portray criminals as oppressed victims of society, generating sympathy for the vilest scum on the planet. Liberal media are always throwing a pity party for criminals, suggesting that these selfish antisocial misfits are suffering hardship — “social injustice!” — because of something (sexism, racism, whatever) that can be blamed on those Rich Greedy Hateful Republicans.

Once people buy into this Democrat perspective on crime, it becomes possible for them to view even the most depraved monster as a “victim of society.” The liberal sees a news story about a school teacher who had sex with a teenager and thinks, “Well, who are we to judge?” Likewise, the streets of Chicago have become a deadly a war zone — 203 people shot to death so far this year, another 1,115 wounded — and no Democrat voter in America ever seems to ask who is shooting whom, or wonders why this shocking rampage of violence continues in a city that has been governed by Democrats for decades:

A 7-year-old boy who was one of seven people shot to death in Chicago over the holiday weekend was the son of a gang leader with a lengthy arrest record, and police say the man’s refusal to cooperate with detectives highlights the city’s ongoing challenge to curb gang-related violence. . . .
[Police Superintendent Garry] McCarthy said that the bullet that struck Amari Brown in the chest “was meant for his father,” whom he described as a “ranking gang member” who had been arrested 45 times.
Antonio Brown’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation is a familiar hurdle for Chicago police that as of Monday had yet to capture a suspect in Amari’s death.
After Brown was arrested for gun possession last April, he was released on bail the next day, McCarthy said.

“Turn ’em loose!” — Democrat policies are aligned with Democrat electoral strategy, both requiring that this “ranking gang member” with 45 arrests on his record be allowed to roam the streets. You would be condemned as racist by Chicago Democrats if you argued in favor of the kind of tough law enforcement policies that would put a “ranking gang member” in prison for life. Never mind that the vast majority of crime victims in Chicago are the same race as criminals in Chicago. Also never mind that more or less everyone in Chicago — the gang members, the mayor, the police chief, the 203 people shot dead so far this year — is a Democrat. No, never mind any of that, because Democrats in the liberal media require you to believe that somehow all this death and mayhem is the fault of those Rich Greedy Hateful Republicans.

Blame Donald Trump! Only an evil Republican hater would say illegal aliens from Mexico are perpetrating crimes in America (that is, in addition to their presence here, which is in itself a crime), and everybody must condemn Trump! Meanwhile at the headquarters of the Chicago Democrat Conspiracy Against America:

The White House on Monday defended its immigration policies and blasted Republicans following the killing of a San Francisco woman — allegedly by an illegal immigrant.
When asked if the case was a failure of the administration’s enforcement policies, White House press secretary Josh Earnest chided Republicans for blocking a bipartisan immigration bill that would have boosted funding for border security.
“I recognize that people want to play politics with this,” Earnest said. “The fact is the president has done everything within his power to make sure that we’re focusing our law enforcement resources on criminals and those who pose a threat to public safety.”
Kathryn Steinle, 32, was shot and killed Wednesday at a popular tourist destination in San Francisco. The suspect, Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, had multiple felony convictions and had been deported to Mexico five times.
Earnest faulted the “political efforts of Republicans” for blocking “the kind of investment that we would like to make in securing our border and keeping our communities safe.”

You see how this works? The more clearly a problem is the result of Democrat Party policies, the more vehemently Democrats blame the problem on those Rich Greedy Hateful Republicans.

No one can be employed in the media who doubts this pretzel logic. Therefore, if you turn your TV to CNN or NBC or CBS, or pick up the New York Times or the Washington Post, you will find that they either ignore the obvious facts that contradict Democrat Party propaganda or, more likely, they deliver the Democrat propaganda narrative without the slightest hint of skepticism. Nothing so trivial as truth can be allowed to prevent Democrats from “fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” a goal that the media intend to accomplish no matter how many people get killed in the process.

The really brilliant part: In places like Chicago, murderers vote Democrat and the people they killed? Yeah, they keeping voting Democrat, too. Dead people have the right to vote in Chicago, where the graveyards are full of registered Democrats.
