San Francisco: Ass backwards on immigration
By Rizzuto
Tue Aug 19, 2008 - Two stories highlight the ridiculousness of the pro-illegal immigration crowd in this country. First, this from CNN:
A judge has ordered three teenagers to stand trial on charges related to the beating death of a Mexican immigrant in a small eastern Pennsylvania town.
...
The teenager, Ben Lawson, 17, testified that Ramirez was fighting with one of the suspects, Derrick M. Donchak, when another, Colin Walsh, sucker-punched the victim. A third suspect, Brandon Piekarsky, then kicked Ramirez in the head while he lay motionless in the street.
Walsh, 17, and Piekarsky, 16, were charged as adults with homicide and ethnic intimidation. Donchak, 18, was charged with aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation and other offenses. All were football players at Shenandoah Valley High School.
So three teens kill an immigrant in Pennsylvania, they go on trial for murder and "ethnic intimidation". Why is it that every time a crime is comitted against an ethnic minority, some BS PC charge has to be tacked on to it? If the guy was murdered, isn't intimidation a moot point? Bear in mind, I'm not defending these thugs. I just wanted to juxtapose this case with the recent developments in San Francisco to show how ass backwards San Fran's policies are. This from the San Francisco Chronicle:
A San Francisco city commission has taken a defiant stand against Mayor Gavin Newsom's directive on young immigrant felons by urging officials to permit the offenders to remain in the city and help pay for their housing, job placement services and immigration lawyers.
Newsom announced last month - in an attempt to quell a growing controversy involving San Francisco's sanctuary city policy - that the city would no longer shield young illegal immigrant felony offenders from federal authorities for possible deportation.
Three weeks later, the city's little-known, 15-member Immigrant Rights Commission approved a resolution that ran counter to the mayor's directive, urging the city to let young immigrant offenders stay in the city. The commission advises the Board of Supervisors and mayor about issues involving immigrants.
It called on San Francisco to pay nonprofit community groups to screen juvenile offenders to determine whether they should be entitled to city-paid immigration attorneys who would help them seek asylum as victims of abandonment, trafficking or abuse.
It also urged the city to provide adequate resources for placing the youths in "culturally appropriate" community programs approved by the juvenile court system, a policy that federal prosecutors have said was akin to harboring illegal immigrants.
And it advised the city to develop and expand safe housing, jobs and other opportunities for unaccompanied immigrant youth "because these youth are extremely vulnerable to exploitation by adult criminals."
Three youths in Pennsylvania commit a homicide on an immigrant, hang-em-high! Illegal immigrant commits three homicides in San Francisco, give him housing, job training, and city-paid lawyers.
Luckily for San Fran, it seems like Newsome is going to do the right thing here (for once)and continue cooperating with federal immigration authorities.
