S.F.'s GOP speaks out on Sanctuary City

San Francisco's Republican Party has sent out letters to city officials, including Mayor Gavin Newsom and members of the Board of Supervisors, denouncing Supervisor David Campos' legislation that would change the city's Sanctuary City policy.

The legislation is turning into one of the most politically charged debates since a set of new board members came into office in January.

"We urge you to reconsider your co-sponsorship to this piece of irresponsible and dangerous legislation," a letter sent to members of the Board of Supervisors who signed on in support of the bill said.

Campos' legislation would prevent city officials from turning over juveniles who are illegal immigrants and charged with felonies to federal immigration law enforcement for deportation.

The City would only be able to turn them over once they are convicted.

It is very disturbing to see a city that prides itself on how kind it is help to destroy the lives and property of those who support the city with their hard work and taxes, by allowing illegals to live, work and those who do, commit crimes here against those who support the system that pays the freight for the illegals and Supervisors alike.

It undermines all our trust in government, and authority.

Obviously, no one in the city wants to deport law-abiding people, regardless of their immigration status. But when felons turn out to be in the country illegally, it only makes sense to send them home. And if it's an illegal minor who's sent home for felonious misconduct, his or her illegal parents ought to be forced to follow. By what authority does the SF Board of Supervisors reserve the right to cherry pick which laws they care to enforce? Suppose an undocumented minor shot and killed Supervisor Campos: Should the city shield that killer from prosecution?

How can a city protect lawbreakers with special sanctions? If a person, a minor, breaks the law - when they are already in the country illegally - they should NOT have a protected status.

If a person is an illegal alien, then they aren't law-abiding. The key word is "illegal".

San Francisco's Sanctuary policy, resulted in the daylight murders of three members of a hardworking longtime San Francisco Family, a father and his two sons. This man paid taxes that benefitted San Francisco. He loved living there. As far as I'm concerned Newsom and the Democratic politicians in California, killed that family with their criminal and totally ILLEGAL, if anyone cares, sanctuary policy. If Newsom wins as Governor, it will show how little people actually care about their fellow Californi citizens. Feinstein, Boxer, and Pelosi to name just a few, are also responsible for all of the innocent people killed by foreign nationals, illegally in the U.S. They should have been voted out years ago, if we actually had intelligent people in California.

Again, it blows me away, totally, when I think of the utter hypocricy of these liberals in Frisco. They didn't feel a single thing, not even in their little finger, when Mrs. Bologna cried, and showed the pain she felt, because the Sanctuary policies of these liberals, resulted in the death of her husband and sons by an illegal alien scum gang member in broad daylight. YOU ARE HARD PEOPLE, CALLOUS BEYOND BELIEF.

Illegal alien criminals are a PROTECTED CLASS in San Francisco. And as long as the people of this city keep electing cultural Marxists to office, that will never change. It is hard for me to even imagine how bad things are going to have get for my fellow SFers to come to their senses.
