Leading contenders for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination (including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala Harris) are making the same mistake on immigration that Hillary Clinton made in 2016. By ignoring the death of police officer Ronil Singh (who was murdered by an illegal alien gangbanger) and issuing a series of statements over their concerns for migrants trying to cross the border, they’re signaling to voters that their lives don’t matter as much as foreign nationals.

Ronil Singh represented the American dream. He immigrated to the U.S. legally from Fiji and went on to serve his community as a member of the Newman Police Department. During a routine traffic stop on Dec. 26, he was gunned down by Gustavo Perez Arriaga, an illegal alien who had previously been arrested for driving under the influence but escaped deportation thanks to California’s sanctuary state laws. Singh’s alleged murderer was planning to escape back to Mexico with the help of seven fellow illegal aliens including his brothers, girlfriend, and coworker.
