For the past 30 years, Americans have not been protected from criminals coming to the USA illegally.

We still do not have a secure border or a fair immigration plan.

After 30 years.

The murder of 32-year-old Kate Steinle in San Francisco has outraged the nation.

So far, about 150,000 of you have signed a petition demanding the federal government incarcerate criminal aliens who return to the United States after being deported.

That will be known as Kate's Law if it gets passed.

But other things must be done, as well.

Starting with punishing the city of San Francisco.

The sanctuary policies there allowed a Mexican national who had been deported five times and convicted of seven felonies in the USA to be released from jail, to walk free.

San Francisco did this despite ICE asking them to hold the criminal alien.

In the face of that, Mayor Ed Lee and the eleven supervisors apparently are not sorry at all.

Jesse Watters confronted them yesterday.

JESSE WATTERS: “Good afternoon supervisors, my name is Jesse Watters with The O’Reilly Factor at the Fox News Channel and I would like to address your dangerous sanctuary city policies.  I’d like to show you a picture here.  It’s Kate Steinle.  She was murdered by an illegal alien who had been deported five times and had over six felony convictions but for some reason, the city of San Francisco let this guy out. ((EDIIT)) You guys aren’t even looking. Look at the picture. You’re afraid? ((EDIT)) You guys don’t have anything to say?”

SUPERVISOR (OFF CAMERA): “Thank you very much. Next speaker, please.”

In just a few moments Watters will report on reaction from residents of San Francisco.

California politicians have already weighed in.

Senator Dianne Feinstein said quote:

"The tragic death of Ms. Steinle could have been avoided if the Sheriff's Department had notified ICE prior to the release of Mr. Sanchez, which would have allowed ICE to remove him from the country. … We should focus on deporting convicted criminals, not setting them loose on our streets."

Senator Barbara Boxer:

"For decades, I have supported deporting violent criminals, and I have always believed that sanctuary should not be given to felons."

The problem is Ms. Boxer has not supported tough border policies that would keep criminals like Sanchez out.

You just can't be deporting thugs time after time.

Although that's apparently what Hillary Clinton wants.

CNN interview yesterday

HILLARY CLINTON: “Here's a case where we've deported, we've deported, we've deported.  He ends back up in our country and I think the city made a mistake.  The city made a mistake, not to deport someone that the federal government strongly felt should be deported.”

Secretary Clinton is a bit confused.

No city can deport anyone; that's the job of the feds.

And the Democratic Party has been very soft on border security … also, holding sanctuary cities accountable.

Will the Democrats change?

Probably not.  They want Latino votes.

Now the open-border crowd and liberal pundits in general have been very quiet after the death of Ms. Steinle.

We asked former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to appear.

He declined.

We asked Jorge Ramos, a very outspoken advocate of immigration to appear.

So far he has not consented to do so.

And we asked the entire Board of Supervisors in San Francisco to explain themselves.

They are all cowards.

There comes a time when the American people have to rise up and demand the government do the right thing.

Now is that time.

We must demand accountability to stop the illegal immigration madness.

We must confront politicians unwilling to protect us.

And we must stop the criminal element from coming in here.

And that's the memo.
