From SFCBSLocal.com:
SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — Dozens of protesters surrounded a bus believed to be filled with immigrants slated for deportation at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office in San Francisco, a protest organizer said Thursday.
The protesters included dozens of undocumented immigrants and immigrants’ rights advocates who rallied for the expansion of a national movement to pressure President Barack Obama to halt immigrant deportations, according to Jon Rodney, a spokesman for the California Immigrant Policy Center.
But here is the brazen paragraph:
“We are not going to wait for Congress anymore. We are not going to wait for Obama. This is a humanitarian crisis, two million people deported in 5 years,” protester Hairo Cortez told KPIX 5.
San Francisco, if you recall, is a so-called “sanctuary city.” San Francisco’s attitude about the whole thing is exemplified here. One interesting point from SFGate.com, however:
Sanctuary-city policy enables dangerous drivers
by Debra J. Saunders
Drew Rosenberg became a victim of San Francisco’s immigration policies on Nov. 16, 2010. The second-year law student was riding his motorcycle in rush-hour traffic when a car driven by an unlicensed driver made a left turn and hit him. That evening, Don Rosenberg of Westlake Village received the phone call every parent dreads. His precious son was dead.
Then another nightmare unfolded.
As Rosenberg investigated driver Roberto Galo‘s background, he discovered that San Francisco’s policies regarding immigrants have served as an enabler for dangerous drivers.
Road to death
Nov. 1, 2009 – San Francisco announces a policy allowing unlicensed drivers to avoid an automatic impound if a licensed driver will get their car.
June 14, 2010 – Police stop Roberto Galo, 52, for driving the wrong way on a one-way street and driving without a license. He pays a $220 fine.
Nov. 16, 2010 – Galo hits and kills Drew Rosenberg at Harrison and 16th streets.
Imagine that. Consequences for short-sighted actions.
Further, the continuing and unrelenting demand by persons involved in criminal activity — such as entering the United States illegally — to be granted public entitlements such as free tuition, free healthcare and the numerous freedoms enjoyed by actual citizens grows and grows, unabated. Illegal Mexicans are proving they are here for the Free Cheese and not to work honestly.
They are making demands that rights given to lawful Americans automatically apply to themselves. And that no illegals should be deported.
I say: be truthful, United States of America. Either remove the laws against illegal entry into the US, or enforce your laws. At this point Mr Obama and his sycophants want it both ways.
Otherwise you are essentially requiring that people like me shall decide, independently, which laws we shall keep and which laws we shall violate, at will.
If we are not a nation of Constitutional laws, then we have no United States.
