Mr. Speaker. just last week an American woman was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant while walking through a touristfriendly area of San Francisco with her father. She was killed for no reason by an illegal immigrant convicted of seven felonies who had been previously deported five times and was released by the San Francisco Police Department again over the objections of Federal immigration authorities. This is sadly not the first time this has happened. Several years ago a father and his two sons were killed by an illegal immigrant felon who. again. San Francisco refused to detain for Federal immigration authorities. The evidence is clear. Sanctuary city laws make our cities less safe and endanger Americans. Despite liberal claims to the contrary. this refusal to enforce immigration laws means that dangerous criminals with no regard for our laws are walking our streets. In California alone. over 10.000 immigration detainer requests were declined. 10.000 known criminals were released in violation of Federal law. Mr. Speaker. it is time for the House to act to ensure that the Federal Government does not aid cities who refuse to enforce our Nations laws. That would be comprehensive immigration reform we can all understand.
