RUSH: Last month in Los Angeles, Sandra Duran was on her way home from church services when she had an unfortunate encounter with Estuardo Alvarado. The car that Alvarado was driving slammed into the 42-year-old mom at an intersection, killing her. He was drunk at the time. He was fleeing from another crash that he caused.

Alvarado is no stranger to the law. Since 1998, he has been charged with over 20 felonies and misdemeanors. Those include weapons and drug charges. He has been deported from the U.S. five times.

Sandra Duran’s fiancé says his life has been broken forever by her death. The couple has two kids and were due to be married this fall. He says “the system failed us.” He also says people who are for sanctuary cities need to pay attention to what is going on. “We have these criminals that are roaming around the cities,” and we aren’t “being protected as American citizens.”

Sandra Duran, sadly, is just the latest example of the lawless environment that liberal Democrats have foisted on us with their love of sanctuary cities, their warm embrace of illegal immigration, and their callous disregard for the safety and lives of American citizens.

Sandra Duran, her fiancé, her kids are nothing more than pawns to liberal Democrats. Their lives have no meaning. To the left, the liberal agenda is all that matters.
