San Fran: A city for illegals

San Francisco has long been the most liberal city in America. They have openly promoted gay marriages and have welcome people from all walks of life on their city. Now, the city by the bay has announced plans to spend $83,000 on an advertising campaign promoting city services for illegal immigrants.

The ads will run in English, Spanish, Chinese Vietnamese a Russian. From the San Francisco Chronicle:

City officials on Wednesday unveiled the $83,000 ad campaign, which features images of smiling residents and the iconic city skyline and spreads the message in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Russian. Brochures, which will be handed out in public buildings like police stations and hospitals, promise safe access to city services for the undocumented and a don’t-ask-don’t-tell policy when it comes residency status.

Mayor Gavin Newsom said, “We are standing up to say to all of our residents: We don’t care what your status is. We care that you, as a human being, are a resident of our city and we want you to participate in the life of our city.”

San Francisco Supervisor Tom Ammiano said, “We’re taking a big bite of the reality sandwich in admitting that there are people who live here who may or may not have citizen status.”

The city by the bay declared themselves a sanctuary city in 1989. Since then they have openly promoted illegal immigration. A policy doesn’t allow city employees to cooperate with federal authorities such as ICE in any immigration investigation. Now, the openly tell illegal immigrants they won’t ask about your immigration status if you come in for services. Isn’t San Fran aiding and abetting? In August, San Fran will hand out municipal ID cards to everyone–including illegal immigrants–so everyone can receive city services.

It gets even better. San Francisco has a $338 million dollar budget shortfall. Somehow though they have money to promote city services for all.
