Audacity of Truth
"Change" You Can Believe In:
"Nixon didn’t try to do that. They couldn't control (the media). They didn’t try. [...] What the hell do they think we are, puppets?"

SF Mayor once again vows to ignore the law
First, SF Mayor Gavin Newsom declared gay marriage legal. Now, there’s this:
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 haven’t seen defiance.”
It is not the first time San Francisco has weighed in on the immigration issue. In 1989, the Board of Supervisors made San Francisco a “City of Refuge.” The ordinance forbids city resources from being used to enforce federal immigration laws or to gather or disseminate information regarding the status of residents of The City. The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution reaffirming the ordinance in January.
And some people want to declare the President tyrannical??
The sheer arrogance of Newsom just makes me nauseous!
If you are a citizen of San Francisco and are disgusted with the latest antics of your mayor, let him know how you feel (and be civil, now! 
).

And they continue to receive government dollars because? Their funding should be cut off, along with every other sanctuary city until they are in compliance with the law!
If you remember Gerardo Sandoval is the guy who said the US should not have a military. Gotta love politicians in SF!
Hey Pam – Good to see you posting here again – long time no see!
Just when you think certain politicians couldn’t get any MORE arrogant, then along comes this guy. Unreal!
Glad to be back..I went through that funk where it seemed like everything was getting old! Dummie me..nothing in Washington get’s old..well almost nothing!
If Newsom is advocating not enforcig the Law, then there should be a Federal Investigation, if he is found intentionally not enforcing the Law and having police officers not enforce the Law, then Newsom should be removed from office and any official and/or police officer that does not enforce the Laws should lose thier jobs.
sanity that is very true as should be the case of all ’sancuary cities’. This cities and their leaders are deliberately breaking the law with regards to immigration. The cops are not allowed to question a persons legal status in the country and even if the information is right in front of them, they are not allowed to do anything about it. We need to cut federal funding to all sanctuary cities. Let them make it on their own..I bet we would be surprised at how quickk these cities start complying with immigration laws.
This is a law and order issue? Or do gay people, if they marry, become a national security threat? Do you suppose that Christ ever knew a gay person? Maybe, some of his crew were gay? Peace
Years ago, Frisco would not allow plastic pipe in buildings because the plumbers did not like it. Finally the Feds cut off all FHA loans and the pipes came in. Incidentally, the same union that kept plastic pipe out of Frisco used it in the retirement home they built at Clear Lake.
OK.
I underestand why they would feel the need to approve gay marriage, but I have to ask a really stupid question.
How many illegals really live in San Francisco?
Some things that might help answer your question or at least shed some light on it:
This is an older study by the Milken Institute done in 2002 (PDF File) HERE
Nice Variety at Berkley Library Here

What readers had to say about Illegals Here
It is interesting that even the attitudes in CA is nearly the same, that they consider this a major problem.
Another interesting article and breakdown called Too Little, Too Late
While unfortunately I did not find any hard numbers on San Francisco directly, I hope some of the links may be helpful to you. I would like to warn you that I think it will be very hard to find exact numbers of illegals or ‘undocumented’ immigrants, since if they are here illegally, they aren’t about to come forward to be counted.
An interesting read on Illegals:
Tyranny of the left.
