#KateSteinle 's family gets no justice. Her murderer is found not guilty of 1st or 2nd degree murder. San Francisco affords more rights to 5x deported illegals than actual citizens. #BoycottSanFrancisco

MESSAGE SENT: If u go to San Francisco, illegal immigrants can gun u down, (even if they were deported a 100 times), & they will get off scot-free. #KateSteinle didn't know that. But NOW we all do. #BoycottSanFrancisco 🚫

And... BUILD THAT WALL !!!!!! 😠

Dear @realDonaldTrump

Protect your citizens. #BuildTheWall
And consider building it around California too.

This Kate Steinle Verdict is sickening!#BoycottSanFrancisco

Mayors of sanctuary cities should be charged as accessories if illegals within their jurisdiction commit crimes. They have NO accountability. #NoJusticeForKate #NoJusticeForKateSteinle #BoycottSanFrancisco #BoycottCalifornia

No more #BuildTheWall

It's now Build #KatesWall

It's the least we can do to right the travesty of San Francisco's #SanctuaryCity policy disaster.

Oh, and #BoycottSanFrancisco #BoycottSanFran #KateSteinle

A few tweets even argued that Trump's border wall should include California:

This is how the wall needs to be built. #KatesLaw #KateSteinle #BoycottSanFrancisco pic.twitter.com/tkyYk7bXHB
