BART, whose trains carry riders between a number of Bay Area sanctuary cities, will consider adopting its own policy protecting undocumented immigrants from the federal government.

The BART board decided to consider a measure proposed Thursday by directors Nick Josefowitz of San Francisco and Lateefah Simon of Oakland. “Recent studies indicate that there are over 500,000 undocumented immigrants living in the Bay Area.

Good. Let them move into BART cars. Don’t forget the canned Spam because BART doesn’t have meal service. And lots of water bottles. Pee and poo will pile up to the windows. After a week of BART being shut down, maybe SF will wake up.

Good.

We can save the transportation fund subsidies.

Let San Francisco pay ALL the costs for their BART system.

He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the fryin’ pan
He said to me, “Now you better run,
And don’t be here when the mornin’ comes”

Turnstiles are just walls with paid admission. They should leave them open - let riders pay on the honor system.

Not a problem.

Get off the train, you have a problem.

Illegal aliens are felons..and worse. I want them to NEVER feel “safe”. Arrest, seize all assets and jail prior to deportation. Never allow these liar criminals back in.

LOL! I just envisioned side tracks that can be used to divert a whole train to the border for easy unloading.
