We need to open the border and welcome in illegals so they can burn alive the people Americans aren’t burning alive.

Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, a Guatemalan illegal alien, entered the United States under Trump, was deported and then managed to make it back inside at some point and remained unnoticed until he allegedly set a woman on fire on the New York City subway and sat there watching her burn.

All of this could have been prevented, unfortunately New York City, like a lot of liberal cities, and New York, like most liberal states, is a sanctuary state, and so the illegal alien was able to remain hidden until he struck.

What is clear is that by April 2023 he was staying at a Days Inn hotel on 36th Street which had been converted into a migrant shelter — the first of four tax-funded facilities in the city.

When he was issued a transit ticket in 2023, he gave an address of a shelter on Randall’s Island, the sources said.

Undoing this sanctuary state and city system means that all facilities which receive taxpayer funding or are in any way beneficiaries of federal funding must report on all their inmates to federal immigration authorities.

Ditto obviously for the police.

Everyone who is illegally in this country must be tracked at every point of contact with local authorities. Period.

This horrifying crime should be a wake-up call to allow the incoming Trump administration to replace sanctuary states with observer states.
