SAN FRANCISCO - Mayor Gavin Newsom said Thursday that The City will not comply with any federal legislation that criminalizes efforts to help illegal immigrants.
The mayor also denounced a bipartisan congressional proposal that would beef up border security and allow as many as 12 million illegal immigrants to gain legal status.
Newsom, who has not been afraid to wade into controversial national issues such as gay marriage, appeared with a group of elected officials on the steps of City Hall to support immigrants, documented as well as undocumented.Newsom also signed a resolution sponsored by Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, and passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors, urging San Francisco law enforcement not to comply with criminal provisions of any new immigration bill.
San Francisco stands foursquare in strong opposition to the rhetoric coming out of Washington, D.C., Newsom said. If people think we were defiant on the gay marriage issue, they havent seen defiance.

Newsome ignores any laws he does not like. He's a dictator wannabe.
Tell me about it.
I have a live journal group for sf conservatives

And BTW, I know this is changing the subject, but aren't these the people who elected Nancy Pelosi, Diane Feinstein, and Barbara Boxer to public office???
How about the Feds ignoring SF federal funds?
Isn't that the kind of stuff that started the Civil War?
If San Francisco refused to abide by the new immigration legislation, does that mean they would refuse to recognize the amnesty and insist that illegals get deported?
By the way. If I recall, Newsom was the more "moderate" candidate in the last mayoral election!
Do we have an email address for Rodel (The Rodent) Rodis?
And the FedGov should ignore San Francisco the next time they have an earthquake.
That mayor is a loose cannon in any case. That said, I will be howling with glee if all the illegal aliens go flocking to SF, making it a place even less likely to be a tourist destination than it is now.

Shocker!!

Yeah, he at least pretends to be straight.
and add "financially liable"...by this I can refer to a Letter to the Editor I wrote last week (published) wherein I warned the local city of Coachella against their city council vote to make their city limits a Sanctuary.
I told 'em that if I were to have any crime perpetrated against me there I would name the City - and council members personally - in a lawsuit.

Would it surprise you to know that he opposes the military recruiting on public campuses, too?
