Apparently this idiot doesn't realize that we don't mind legal immigration. It is illegal immigration and the rewarding of it that we can't stand.

Sweet article, sweet lament. The problem in SF is complex and primarily a brawl between black and gay "communities. This article author could have done a simple check to find out more specifically about the brawl. Asian immigrants have gotten the short stick in San Francisco and the cause is due the "preferential" activities of the lefty black and lefty gay "ruling elites".

If California is so unfriendly to immigrants, then why are they moving here in such large numbers, both legally and otherwise?

yup.......they always mix up immigration and illegal immigration.........and the minute some state says they are better than another than that to me is some type of insecurity or jealousy......so what......and we better mention how much illegals are costing the state in education, medical costs and prisons.....go down to LA where it is more prevalent and you won't find alot of sympathy down there.......if they had the same number of illegals as us or Ariz or Texas they wouldn't be opening their insecure big mouths.....

A lot of reports on this type of stuff fail to make the distinction between Illegal and legal immigration. That why they can make it look like the government is trying to steal the rights of legal immigrants, when in fact the people that are causeing the problems aren't here legally.

You forgot the homeless. Your mayor and city council has given them free run of the city.

The bots will arrive shortly I'm sure. Defending criminals with the same pointless sword.

To people like this, there is no such thing as illegal immigration. The concept does not exist for them, and they will never acknowledge that the term "illegal" can ever be used with regard to immigration. There are a number of posters on this board that agree with them.

To them. borders and concerns about immigration status are antiquated beliefs that have no place in the 21st century. An equally antiquated notion is making any distinction between citizens and non-citizens.

Actually... during the 80s and early 90s, SF elites were giving the homeless the highest "wages" (ahem) nationwide. So what happened? People came from allll over the US to be "homeless" in San Francisco. As more and more workers, including city workers, continued to be molested by this that and the other, and speak up against the homeless, SF began to realize how much its survival actually depended upon "incoming" taxes and businesses. And they began to try to hide their homeless. Successive mayors have tried "exporting" the homeless to nearby south and east bay (of SF) in the form of "one way BART tickets". That got fought tooth and nail. So, now they are simply trying to "hide" their homeless.

Read a thread where ACLU is going after Texas -- as Texas is trying to "ban" the homeless in certain areas. You see, in SF they don't "outright" ban, they skew the verbiage and the ACLU knows this. Ergo, "no suit" against officials "hiding" their homeless.

SF long ago was my city. It isn't and hasn't been for quite some time.

There is a group of homesexuals in SF who are objecting to the proposed gun ban. They call themselves the "Pink Pistols".

This is probably asking for trouble, but here goes....
I find that those with Libertarian Party attitudes favor open borders. It says so on the LP website. I just don't understand how a person can consider themselves to be conservative when the sovereignty of this nation means nothing to them.

It's easier to demonize us by claiming we don't like *any* immigration and then calling us racists. That way, they don't have to actually think and defend their positions.

I remember when Carlos Estevez, I mean Martin Sheen, displaced a bum by sleeping on his manhole cover in order to stay warm at night.

Not from me.

Lets see the Libertarians defend their open borders "policies" alongside an anti-gun position. You see.. it comes from this mantra, which I use too, periodically: Your rights extend to the end of my fist. The thinking here in Libertarians is: Hey, I can defend myself, ergo I don't need no freakin' borders... And its folks like these who are causing problems (from the usual anti-gun Dems) for responsible gun owners and gun groups.
