San Francisco’s Shame

Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was a poster boy not just for the folly of sanctuary policies but also for the mass low-skilled Hispanic immigration that has transformed California. A barely literate drug dealer from Mexico with a second-grade education, no English, and a penchant for criminal aliases, Garcia Zarate had been deported five times by federal immigration authorities following convictions for various crimes.

California’s once-unrivalled status as the country’s most educated state has long since disintegrated under the waves of low-skilled, low-social-capital Mexican and Central American immigrants. Now, California's K-12 system rivals Mississippi and Alabama as an education backwater. The state’s school-age population, now majority Hispanic, lacks competitive linguistic and math skills. (Of course, defense counsel conducted part of their post-verdict press conference in Spanish, oblivious to the symbolism.) California is becoming another Brazil, divided between fabulously wealthy elites hunkered down in their own coastal sanctuaries, and a poor, Third World population. Before the rest of the country ends up in the same situation, the immigration policies that gave rise to the Steinle homicide must change. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been conducting a largely unheralded effort to end sanctuary jurisdictions, but the illegal-alien lawyer’s lobby has fought him at every turn.

Sessions’s efforts would be immensely aided if Congress finally passed the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act sponsored by Virginia congressman Bob Goodlatte. That bill would clarify ICE’s authority to enforce federal detainer requests and would confirm the attorney general’s authority to withhold federal funding from scofflaw jurisdictions. Most importantly, it would allow both the federal government and victims of sanctuary policies to sue sanctuary governments.

San Francisco

The home to a man convicted of more than one felony. Home to a man that was not a citizen. Home to a man who has been deported five times. Home to a man that broke into a vehicle and stole a backpack. Home to a man that opened the backpack and found a weapon. Home to a man that took that weapon to a crowded area. Home to a man that discharged that weapon, with no regard to public safety. Home to a man whose bullet fired from a gun in his hand, ended the life of a beautiful member of a new generation of adult, just coming into her own.

Brought up on multiple very serious charges, he was not convicted of a single thing. So proud of themselves, the authorities in San Francisco tried to get him deported before anyone could object to him being free on the streets. And thus the road to his sixth entry into this nation would have been started.

San Francisco prides itself on attracting the unconventional. If it’s tweaked, good old San Fran is the place to congregate.

A generation ago the rage was homosexuals frequenting bathhouses using poor judgement and managing to explode the AIDS epidemic. Many died, but those bath houses were sacred places of self-worship. They ultimately survived many victims who didn’t.

Now the big rage is incentivizing the illegal immigrant, many of whom have very violent and criminal prone characters. One just killed a woman, who died in her father’s arms.

Stolen from her was the joy of using her education to advance through life, getting married, having a child if she wanted to, and generally to life the dream of any human. Yes, despite claims to the contrary, White individuals who are citizens of the United States, are entitled to their own dreams.

Of course that’s unless the dreams of a multiple felon criminal citizen of another nation conflict with hers.

Sanctuary cities are on record backing the illegal alien at the cost of U. S. Citizens, who are exposed to all the crime.

Luckily, this felon’s dream will continue to play out. Yes, thankfully nobody will hold it against him that an inferior dream from someone lowly enough not to have committed any crimes, simply got in his way.

And so it goes in beautiful San Francisco, where some dreams come to flourish, and others die of diseases and that reckless by product of a superior dream adopted by the highest example of humans, an officially recognized superior dreamer. Foreign nationals are all the rage.

What’s a life, a rape, a molestation, an armed robbery, a burglary, a car theft, or any of the other crimes committed by these people, here and there. Their dreams are worth it. Other’s dreams, not so much.

San Fransisco is do damned lucky. It has a lot to be proud of.

Imagine living in a city where the city elders wanted to protect U. S. Citizens from these dreamers. Who could possible side with that in 2017?

We have the Supreme Court and we can hurt Sanctuary States and cities in the pocketbook.

It could take years and many reversals in lower courts before the SC agrees to hear a case on sanctuary cities. And I'd question whether we actually do have the SC - Roberts has shown that he is moving leftward and is no longer a sure conservative vote. Anthony Kennedy never has been.

I agree that it needs to be litigated, but I'm not confident that this can be won in the courts - liberal presidents appoint firmly liberal judges, while conservative presidents appoint so-called moderates who often turn out to be closet liberals. And bear in mind that if a Democrat wins the WH in 2020, they will immediately instruct their AG to drop any cases against sanctuary cities/states.
