Populist conservative columnist and New York Times best-selling author Ann Coulter says 32-year-old Kate Steinle, who was shot and killed by an illegal alien in California, “would still be alive if we had a wall” between the U.S. and Mexico, as President Donald Trump has planned.
On Thursday, a California jury found seven-time felon and five-time deported illegal alien Jose Garcia Zarate not guilty of murdering 32-year-old Kate Steinle in 2015 in the sanctuary city of San Francisco, Breitbart News reported, despite Zarate’s admission.
Following the shocking verdict, Ann Coulter took to Twitter to share her disgust with the decision, saying Steinle’s death would have never occurred if a border wall had been constructed decades ago in order to stop illegal immigration in the country.
During wall construction, when builders hit Arizona, they need to take a dog-leg turn & take it up and around California.

Kate Steinle's killer Jose Ines Garcia Zarate had been deported FIVE times. San Fran sheriff had released him from jail despite a federal immigration detention request.

This is new: The San Fran Chronicle headline is, "Mexican man found not guilty in pier killing." Wow, not "California man."

Vigilante justice is wrong. Don't ask me why tonight.

Jury convinced that illegal alien killed Kate Steinle accidentally. She would still be alive if we had a wall.

Others reacted to the murder with an immediate demand for Trump: Build the wall.

The illegal who murdered Kate Steinle had previously been deported five times. It's time to protect Americans, not illegals!
Build. The. Damn. Wall.

It’s not complicated…
If OBAMA & Democrats had actually defended our borders, Kate would be alive today.
We must build the wall and make sanctuary cities illegal!#MAGA 🇺🇸 https://t.co/gcvu8g2iZe

Christmas will never be the same for the family of Kate Steinle, who was murdered by a 5X deported illegal alien.
If we had a wall, she'd still be alive. #BuildTheWall

#KateSteinle will leave an enduring legacy. The stunning depravity of her murderer’s acquittal will be a turning point in American history. The lines are drawn. #BuildTheWall

UNBELIEVABLE: A California jury just found that the illegal immigrant who murdered Kate Steinle is not guilty of first or second degree murder. #KateSteinle #SecureOurBorders pic.twitter.com/4vzIWbxKUh

While walking with her father on a pier in San Francisco in 2015, Steinle was shot by the illegal alien. Steinle pleaded with her father to not let her die, but she soon passed in her father’s arms.
The death of Steinle stirred a national immigration debate, with Americans becoming increasingly opposed an open southern border and cities like San Francisco, which give safe harbor to criminal illegal aliens.
