SF supervisors take on U.S. immigration authorities
SFGate: City Insider ^ | 12/13/11 | Rachel Gordon, Chronicle Staff Writer

In the latest showdown with the federal government — albeit a more symbolic one — the Board of Supervisors today approved a nonbinding resolution that asks the Sheriff’s Department and Juvenile Probation Department to not spend any local money when detaining suspected undocumented immigrants at the request of U.S. immigration authorities.

The resolution, backed by immigrant rights advocates, provides political backing for the two departments if they choose to ignore requests from the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to hold people in custody ”unless there is prior written agreement with the federal government by which all costs incurred by (San Francisco) in complying with the ICE detainer shall be reimbursed.”

Federal immigration officials sometimes request that local jails hold inmates to give them more time to pick people up before starting deportation proceedings.

Really, we’ve got to set a policy in this country such that when illegal aliens are caught, if we’ve got a back up in deportations that we don’t turn any of them loose EXCEPT into the City of San Francisco!

The city now headed by a racist bigot and a puppet of the Red Chinese government.

IOW, let the foreign invaders rape and pillage but make sure you have a catch and release program for them. We can’t waste taxpayer dollars prosecuting foreign invaders who commit rape and murder. When is San Fernasco going to finally fall into the ocean? Americans needs some relief.

We need a President and Congress with some spine...freeze all Federal funds to cities and states that do not comply with federal immigration law

The supporters of Illegal Alienism use the “only the feds can enforce immigration law” when it comes to states and municpalities passing tough immigration laws...the same reasoning should be used for municipalties who promote laws that support Illegal Aliens

Watching S. F. slide into the Pacific Ocean would be soooo satisfying! Especially if Nancy were at home.
