Suing San Francisco over sanctuary

By Michelle Malkin • May 11, 2007 07:19 PM

A legal immigrant is taking San Francisco to court over its sanctuary law for illegal aliens:

A San Francisco illegal immigration opponent has sued the city’s police chief and police commissioners for failing to comply with a state law that requires officers to tell federal authorities about all suspected noncitizens who are arrested on drug charges.

Charles Fonseca, a 70-year-old Portola district resident who came to the United States from Nicaragua at the age of 9 and filed the lawsuit May 4, said he opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants, especially those who break the law after they get here.

“It is absurd that drug addicts don’t get deported,” Fonseca said. “This country welcomes immigrants. The illegal ones should get in line.”

A precedent must be set by the judicial system that states must enforce immigration laws, and declare sanctuary policies unconstitutional.
