Comer: ‘Sanctuary Policies Do Not Protect Americans, They Protect Criminal Illegal Aliens’

EXCERPT:

COMER: “Let me be clear, sanctuary policies do not protect Americans, they protect criminal illegal aliens. That is a fact that the Abraham family knows all too well. With us today is the father of Katie Abraham, Joe, and Katie’s stepmother, Michelle. In January of this year, Katie was tragically killed in a car crash near the University of Illinois in Urbana. Urbana, like the states of Illinois — like the state of Illinois, is a sanctuary jurisdiction. Katie’s killer was a previously deported criminal illegal alien who was driving drunk. He fled the scene and the jurisdiction was later apprehended by the U.S. Marshal Service in Texas. Katie was just 20 years old. She had a bright future ahead of her that was stolen from her and her very loving family. The illegal alien who took Katie’s life should never have been allowed into our country. This was a preventable crime. Unfortunately, there are too many instances where criminal illegal aliens have harmed Americans.”
