As sanctuary cities plot to get billions more in taxpayer dollars to support illegal immigrants and expand services to migrants with questionable asylum claims, we are tragically reminded of the consequences of embracing lawless borders.
Jose Guadalupe Menjivar-Alas of El Salvador was deported four times before he got drunk and crashed into a vehicle killing a Broomfield mother and her 16-year-old son just before Christmas, The Daily Caller reported this week.
PeakNation™ will recall that Menjivar-Alas was arrested and charged with homicide, DUI, and being a habitual traffic offender in the deaths of 47-year-old Melissa Powell and son Riordan.
Now we learn he was last deported in 2015. His most recent alcohol-related incident in Boulder County that led to his arrest was 2019.
Immigration officials have now lodged a detainer with Broomfield County to seek his arrest, the Daily Caller reports. Boulder is a sanctuary city. Broomfield is not.
John Fabbricatore, who is running for Congress in the 6th District now held by U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, told the Daily Caller that sanctuary city policies are contributing to crime rates and inadvertently enabling criminals.
Fabbricatore was the ICE Denver Field Office Director and now sits on the National Immigration Center for Enforcement board.
From the article:
“The failures of Colorado’s sanctuary policies allowed a convicted criminal to stay in our local communities on probation, intentionally avoiding notifying ICE. If sanctuary policies were abolished, these unnecessary deaths could have been prevented.”
Amen.
Immigration enforcement of any kind is non-existent under the Biden administration. Even if Menjivar-Alas were convicted and miraculously deported a fifth time, he could just skate back over the border and claim asylum, easy peasy.
