SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kathryn Steinle, a medical device saleswoman who loved travel and dance, is the newest symbol for those seeking stricter immigration enforcement. They point to her death, from a gun prosecutors say was fired by a Mexican man in the country illegally after five deportations, as heart-wrenching evidence of the need for tighter border controls.
The story is burning up conservative talk radio, with hosts and callers lamenting the senselessness of the seemingly random killing, expressing anger that Juan Francisco Lopez Sanchez still was in the country and consternation that San Francisco authorities had rejected a request by federal immigration authorities to hold him until they could take him into custody.
Daniel Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which advocates for tighter immigration controls, said his organization has been doing six or seven media interviews a day on the killing since the news broke last week.
“You have someone who has been repeatedly deported,” he said. “In the end, it so clearly illustrates the complete breakdown of the system.”
Steinle, 32 of San Francisco, was gunned down July 1 while walking along a city pier with her father. After Sanchez, whom authorities have identified as 45-year-old Mexico native, was arrested it was revealed he had seven felony convictions related to drugs and repeated illegal entries into the country. It also became clear that the San Francisco Sheriff’s Office, citing city policy on immigrants with no violent criminal background, released Sanchez in April despite a federal immigration request that they hold him until U.S. authorities could take him into custody for deportation proceedings.
Critics across the country have slammed San Francisco as a too-liberal “sanctuary” city that provides a haven for criminal immigrants. Some are calling for a “Kate Steinle’s Law” to enhance enforcement.
Jesse Watters, a correspondent with Bill O’Reilly’s Fox News show, showed up at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors meeting this week and held up a photo of a smiling Steinle.
“I’m not saying you pulled the trigger, but you’re partially responsible. Her last words were, ‘Help me. Help me.’ Why aren’t you guys helping her?” he asked.
Immigration rights advocates say that Sanchez is a rare exception to the millions of people who are in the country illegally but live lawful lives while here. They say that “sanctuary” cities like San Francisco seek to build trust within that community, and that helps public safety.
“Every time I talk about this, I feel so sad and so much loss for this obviously beautiful young woman,” said Julia Harumi Mass, a senior attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. “But it’s really important that we also recognize this is a terrible tragedy, one that would have been difficult to foresee almost, it seems.”
Laura Polstein, an attorney with Centro Legal de la Raza, echoed a statement made by many advocates of sanctuary protections: “The actions of one person should not be used to stereotype or criminalize the immigrant communities that are part of the fabric of our city and state.” (If they are illegal – why are they the fabric of the city and state?)
In a jailhouse interview with a news reporter, Sanchez said he is 56 years old and from Guanajuato, a picturesque town about a four-hour drive northwest of Mexico City. He said he found a gun under a bench and that it fired accidentally. Police have said the gun was reported stolen from a car belonging to a U.S. Bureau of Land Management ranger.
At a court hearing this week, Sanchez appeared to know little English and seemed confused at times. He repeated “I’m not guilty” to a question of whether he wanted to waive attendance at a future hearing. His attorney, public defender Matt Gonzalez, said Sanchez has a second-grade education level. (He might be – but he knew how to pull that trigger. Who sponsored this killer?)
