But nothing you said here changes the fact that merely wanting a better life does not give one license to break the law. IF it is okay for them to break the law why is it not okay for me? Saying "well the law they are breaking isn't that bad" is a cop out to me. It has to be an all or nothing thing, if it's okay for one group to break the law under the guise of bettering their life it. They don't get a pass because they come from a shitty country or because they work for crappy pay.
Bottom line is: if people here illegally can get a pass for breaking the law then the people here legally sure as hell should be given the same pass. People shouldn't get to say "well it's okay if this group breaks THIS law in order to better their life, but it is not okay if this other group breaks this other law in order to better their life".
Last I read (when it happened), the different departments where pointing the finger at each other and there was take of an investigation. But agreed, those responsible should in the very least lose their jobs, if not be held up on charges. But as it relates to how you passed it off, how is this the fault of the regular undocumented worker?
But then this just shows the problem. They point fingers at each other and..well, seems like nobody got punished. Which means a similar incident could quite easily happen again. Yet if it did happen again and the victims family decided to sue the city over it...I'm sure they'd be spewing out all kinds of excuses for why they shouldn't have to pay.
I'm not blaming the undocumented worker for Kate Steinle. I'm rather just saying that as long as even 1 innocent person might be killed due to these Sanctuary cities..they need to be done away with. The quality of life for people from Mexico is less important then the safety of even a single lone legal citizen.
We have enough crime from legal citizens. Also keep in mind: these places have the nerve to think they can ignore federal law, but also feel they are entitled to continue to receive government funding.
