The city of San Francisco has started an advertising push with a very specific target market: illegal immigrants. And while the advertisements will come in a bundle of languages — English, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese — they all carry the same message: you are safe here.
In what may be the first such campaign of its kind, the city plans to publish multilanguage brochures and fill the airwaves with advertisements relaying assurance that San Francisco will not report them to federal immigration authorities.
Mayor Gavin Newsom said the campaign was simply an amplification of a longstanding position of not cooperating with immigration raids or other enforcement. The city passed a so-called sanctuary ordinance in 1989.
Still, Mr. Newsom said, it never hurts to advertise. “It’s one thing to have a policy on paper,” he said. “It’s another to communicate it directly to people who could be impacted.”
The television and radio campaign will tell immigrants they have “safe access” to public services, including schools, health clinics and — perhaps most importantly — the police, something that local law enforcement officials say is a chronic problem in émigré communities.
“It is a trademark of a criminal predator to convince victims that because of the victims’ immigration status that they — not the predator — will be treated as the criminal,” said Kamala Harris, the city’s district attorney. “We want to remove that tool from the criminal’s tool belt.”
Ms. Harris said particular problems in immigrant communities include human trafficking, fraud and elder abuse, which she said was widely underreported.
San Francisco is not alone in its sanctuary status; New York, Detroit and Washington have policies that discourage the police from enforcing immigration law.

Really pisses me off to see the District of Columbia, the FEDERAL DISTRICT, blatantly refusing to enforce federal law.
Yet another reason (not as good as other ones - ie a federal district is not a state, if you don’t like it, move) as to why they should never be granted statehood state
SF trying to bring cultural diversity to it’s streets. Now the panhandlers can accost on every street corner in various languages and the piss smell on the streets will have a global aroma. Plus more fresh meat for the Boys down in the Castro district too. Si, nosotros gusto mas hombres caliente aqui en San Franceeesco!
Our best action on this? 1)Sell SF to the ChiComs, 2)Nuke it, 3)hire the guys that built the Berlin wall & do the same around SF & let ‘em rot & stew in their own juice...
San Francisco, the west coast cesspool needs some cheap labor to clean its toilets, clean its dirty dishes and shore up its sleazy lifestyle and sleazy politicians. What a glorious mix of everything that is wrong in our society. After all, a city full of queens needs lots of servants.
I was not born in America. My parents came here in 1969...legally. For the opportunity, not the guarantee.
I think I have made them proud and rewarded their sacrifice by being successful after struggling for years and getting my teeth kicked in.
When your parents came here in the 1700’s, 1800’s or to Ellis Island in the 20th century, there was no welfare state.
You either made it with your own sheer will and talent or you starved and died.
Let the illegals go to San Francisco or the DPRNJ, DPRNY. Let their taxpayers pay the $2,500 OB/GYN set fees for labor and delivery plus free diapers and formula.
I’m moving to South Carolina where I belong. God bless federalism.
Where are we going? Why am I in this basket? What’s with the red guy with horns?
Round up every illegal in the USA and then drop them off
to the welcome arms of the City by the Gay. Then lets see how much they enjoy their sanctuary city of illegals.
What’s the pitchfork for?
Pitchfork use that Mr. Green Jeans never envisioned for down on his farm.
MEMORIALIZED IN SONG - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1997253/posts
the lyrics are great. I clicked on the link. Is there a song version? I couldn’t find it.
One way tickets, OMG that would be so sweet.
Local politicians: “WE’VE SOLVED OUR POVERTY PROBLEMS!” Lawmakers bus homeless, illegals to San Fransissy.
In the long run, much, much cheaper for us. Thank you SanFran!!!
Dude, those guys like pretty tough. Don’t use any derogatory slurs against gays in their presence.
They’ll kick your ass. They may like man ass, but these homosexuals are still guys.
They’ll kick your butt.
That guy might want to be careful drawing attention to his crotch in San Francisco.
I’ve been searching FR far and wide to find that pic. Thanks.
