DOMINICK REUTER/REUTERSDonald Trump says the fatal shooting of a woman in San Francisco is proof that hes right in saying violent criminals are entering the U.S. from Mexico.
Dont say Donald Trump didnt warn you about Mexican immigrants, says... Donald Trump.
The Republican presidential hopeful on Friday latched onto the fatal shooting of a woman in San Francisco as proof that hes right in saying violent criminals are entering the U.S. from the south and must be stopped.
This senseless and totally preventable act of violence committed by an illegal immigrant is yet another example of why we must secure our border immediately, Trump said in the wake of news reports that Francisco Sanchez, the man accused of murdering 32-year-old Kathryn Steinle on a pier in San Francisco, is a career criminal who had previously been deported to Mexico five times.
Later, he tweeted: Where are the other candidates now that this tragic murder has taken place b/c of our unsafe border, adding: We need a wall.

Sanchez should have been turned over to immigration authorities, not released, after being jailed four months ago for selling pot, officials said.
This is an absolutely disgraceful situation and I am the only one that can fix it, Trump said in his campaign statement.
Nobody else has the guts to even talk about it. That wont happen if I become President.

Enlarge Trump has lost a number of business deals and fielded accusations of bigotry but has also enjoyed considerable success in polls of the 2016 GOP pack since saying Mexico isnt sending its best to the United States.
Theyre sending people that have lots of problems, and theyre bringing those problems with us, Trump said in his June kickoff speech.
Theyre bringing drugs. Theyre bringing crime. Theyre rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.
