Suffering the consequences of protecting outlaws, a renowned sanctuary state is considering enacting measures to combat illegal immigration after an undocumented alien awaiting deportation murdered two people this week.
The killings in a small, working class Massachusetts city have shaken legislators in a state that has long protected illegal immigrants. The triggerman (Fernando Guerrero-Lara) had been freed by federal authorities while he waited for a March 2011 deportation hearing in Texas, according to a news report that referred to his crimes as a bullet bloodbath.
Guerrero-Lara and a second triggerman crashed a packed birthday party at a restaurant in Lawrence, located about 25 miles north of Boston, and killed a pair of 24-year-olds, one of them a mother of two young children. Local authorities were indignant when they learned that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) had allowed Guerrero-Lara to roam the country while awaiting removal. Not surprisingly, ICE has refused to explain why the illegal immigrant was not in custody.
This miserable failure to enforce immigration laws is nothing new for the feds, which is why local governments—such as Arizona and Hazleton Pennsylvania—across the nation are taking matters into their own hands. Cities, counties and states—like Massachusetts—that offer illegal immigrants sanctuary only add to the growing crisis, which includes shielding terrorists.
For instance, the Pakistani man (So Pir Khan) arrested earlier this year for Time Square bombing was an illegal immigrant with deep roots in Massachusetts. He even admitted on a city cabbie license application that he entered the U.S. illegally. The Boston cab driver is one of three men who funneled money to the fellow Pakistani terrorist (Faisal Shahzad) who tried to blow up New York’s Time Square with a series of bombs hidden in a sports utility vehicle.

Sanctuary City vs. Secure Communities: SF sheriff protects illegal aliens from police who inquire about citizenship status
The top law enforcement official in a major U.S. county is vigorously working to withdraw from a federal program that checks criminals’ immigration status because it violates the area’s sanctuary policies.
San Francisco Sheriff Michael Hennessey, who operates the county jails, has for months tried to bail on a program (Secure Communities) that requires local authorities to check the fingerprints of arrestees against a federal database. The idea is to deport dangerous criminals, many of whom have fallen through the cracks over the years.
But the veteran elected sheriff says the arrangement violates San Francisco’s longtime sanctuary law, which forbids public employees and police from asking anyone about their immigration status. The famously liberal city by the bay also offers illegal aliens official government identification cards and all sorts of taxpayer-financed public benefits.
The policies have protected violent criminals from deportation, including those who have been convicted of atrocious felonies. A few years ago a Salvadoran gang member with two felony convictions murdered a father and his two sons because San Francisco law enforcement agencies never turned him over to federal authorities for removal. Secure Communities was implemented nationwide in 2008 precisely to avoid situations like those.
Incredibly, the sheriff’s priority is to continue shielding illegal aliens from deportation even when they commit crimes in the community he’s been elected to protect. Earlier this year Hennessey formally requested that California’s attorney general exempt his agency from participating in Secure Communities and when the request was denied, he asked the feds directly.
In rejecting the exemption request California’s attorney general said that Secure Communities “serves both public safety and the interests of justice" because it “advances an important law enforcement function by identifying those individuals who are in the country illegally and who have a history of serious crimes or who have previously been deported."

Kennedy legacy: sanctuary city for alien rapists
From vdare.com
"On August 18th, just a week before Kennedy died, a young woman exited a taxi just a short stroll from the former Kennedy home. As she walked along, two men crept up from behind and struck her on the back of the head. They grabbed her by the throat, choked her, then dragged her to a waiting pickup truck. Next, they tossed her into the truck and drove to a secluded parking lot.
Once there, the men took turns raping her, then kicked her to the curb, and drove away.
These two thugs were illegal aliens from Mexico and Guatemala.
Luckily, the police could make a quick arrest because they had recently cited the men for a traffic violation. However, because of the local sanctuary policies that Kennedy had long championed, the police had been unable to inquire into their immigration status.
This devastated young woman is another one of Ted Kennedy’s victims.'
