Lawman’s blood on hands of open-border Democrats

Say his name: RIP Cpl. Ronil Singh

On the last night of 2018, the silence of California Dems chilled the air and airwaves.

Border wall opponent Sen. Kamala Harris tweeted, bemoaning the plight of illegal immigrants and their children.

But not a peep was heard from Harris about the brutal shooting death of Newman, California, Police Cpl. Ronil Singh, allegedly at the hands of a Mexican gang member illegally in the country and protected by the very sanctuary policies Harris champions.

Border wall opponent Rep. Nancy Pelosi decried the deaths of two illegal immigrant children on the same day Singh was murdered, bashed the government shutdown and, on New Year’s Eve, promoted her upcoming MSNBC special.

But not a peep was heard from Pelosi about Singh, the suspected illegal immigrant murderer, or the arrests of a total of seven alleged accomplices — all reported to be illegally in this country as well.

Border wall opponent Sen. Dianne Feinstein released a public letter to the Customs and Border Patrol agency on the day of Singh’s murder to voice her “strong concern about the recent deaths and illnesses of children detained in Border Patrol custody, and to request a full accounting and a revised protocol to prevent such tragedies.”

But not a peep was heard from Feinstein about Singh, no call for investigation.

Neighbors, friends and co-workers turned out in full force for a candlelight vigil memorializing the dedicated, patriotic, compassionate, hard-working husband and father of a 5-month-old. But rabble-rousing liberal politicians, so quick to rush down to the border to exploit the migrant caravan crisis and sabotage President Donald Trump’s efforts to keep America safe, were nowhere to be found.

How could any decent citizen not be moved by Reggie Singh, who broke down in tears while expressing thanks to officers upon the arrest of his hero brother’s suspected murderer?

How could any public servant not be outraged by the revelations that Ronil Singh’s suspected murderer from Mexico had worked illegally as a laborer, had known gang affiliations, and had two prior drunk driving arrests before the fatal traffic stop and attempted escape back to Mexico.

California’s sanctuary laws, signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown, barred local authorities from reporting the alleged copkiller for his prior criminal arrests to ICE.

Open borders Democratic hearts bleed for those bent on undermining our sovereignty, while they turn blind eyes to legal immigrants like Singh, originally from Fiji, who honored our institutions and enforced our laws.

Singh was the true story of the American dream. He cherished his family roots and heritage, but embraced legally obtained citizenship. And this is precisely why California Democrats won’t say his name, acknowledge his sacrifice or investigate the policy failures that led to his death.

The silent Dems have spent the past year demonizing law enforcement officers, stoking fear and hatred of those who put their lives on the line 24/7/365.

To speak Cpl. Ronil Singh’s name is to admit the blood on their own hands.
