Officials blast San Fran’s illegal alien dumping policy

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 8, 2008 10:49 AM

Yes. Finally. Local officials in San Bernardino are blasting open-borders San Francisco for its sanctuary policy and illegal alien criminal dumping policy. And they may sue. It’s about time. The story may be off the national radar, but real people have to deal with the real, reckless consequences of left-wing radicalism. Keep at it. Hat tip: reader Ed R.

Top San Bernardino County leaders blasted San Francisco officials Thursday for dumping convicted illegal alien drug dealers in group homes located in San Bernardino County.

District Attorney Mike Ramos interrupted his vacation to join other county leaders in taking aim at San Francisco’s policy to send young convicts to unsecured group homes in the county.

“For the city of San Francisco to dump those individuals in our county is outrageous,” Ramos said during a Thursday news conference.

Eight illegal aliens convicted of selling crack cocaine in San Francisco walked away from the Silverlake’s Douglas House in Yucaipa where they had been placed as part of a policy backed by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to create a safe haven for illegal aliens…

…Fourth District Supervisor Gary Ovitt said the Board of Supervisors will consider a resolution Tuesday to demand San Francisco repay San Bernardino County for all costs associated with the scandal.

Ovitt said if necessary, the county will sue San Francisco to recover costs.

The resolution says San Francisco’s “reckless and irresponsible practice of exporting potentially dangerous illegal alien drug dealers to the county of San Bernardino … poses a significant risk to the health, safety and welfare” of San Bernardino County residents.

The resolution calls on San Francisco to immediately stop placing illegal aliens in the county, and officials may seek to recover law enforcement and probation costs.

“This dumping action of dangerous drug dealers is a virtual assault on our communities,” Ovitt said. “This county will not serve as San Francisco’s dumping ground.”

    The idiots In San Francisco do not care what anyone else thinks of their illegal alien policies. It is time for Congress to grow some and put an end to this travesty. It isn’t only their neighbors who have to worry. It is the whole country that has become a dumping ground.

    It’s about time some one on the left coast got some common sense. (no offense to those on the left coast that have common sense, as I say common sense is not common.)

    Don’t get too excited - San Bernadino and SF Counties will merely “solve” the problem by finding another county with less resources to fight them - Yolo, etc, - and ship them there.

    The one bright spot is that people in the “poor” counties tend to be a bit more conservative and gun ownership is common.

    I am not sure that I understand this. How does San Francisco have the right to dump illegal aliens in San Bernardino?? Can’t San Bernardino county just call ICE and have them picked up? Can’t San Bernardino county just simply arrest the officials who transport the criminals since they have no authority in the county and they themselves are involved in criminal activity? Can’t they just condemn the group home and shut it down??? Have I missed something?

    I am SURE I don’t understand this. California seems to glory in being stupid.

    Let’s lower the state count by one. In fact, let’s let Hawaii go too. 50 states is a nice even number.

    If they love crime and or evil so much, let them have had it on their own money.

    The CA State Legislation is trying to make the State Government become a sanctuary state by passing a bill to allow them to bypass the new federal requirement that all government employees must be verified with the E-Verify system.

    CA votes to defy Federal Government with AB

    This bill would prohibit the State of California from participating in any electronic employment verification system, as defined, unless required by federal law. The bill would also prohibit the state, or a city, county, city and county, or special district from requiring any employer to use an electronic employment verification system.

    The President passed an executive order requiring all states use the E-Verify system and this law is designed to stop that unless Congress also passes a law. If you guessed it was lawmakers from SF and LA who have sanctuary cities that proposed this in the state you win. :)

    May the law and wisdom guide the judges in this case and send those criminals to prison and deportation. You pick which criminals the drug dealers or SF city council and mayor.

    I’m a resident and business owner in San Bernardino County. Not all of the people who live in California are complete turds, mainly just the ones in Santa Monica, Malibu, and San Francisco. Conservatives tend to lack the gene that requires constant attention and whining, so you don’t hear much from us.

    I’ll be on the phone today finding out why the local DA isn’t indicting San Fran officials for conspiracy and fraud. And as soon as one of these punks hurts someone down here, they can add the rape, and drug trafficking facilitation charges.

    Look who’s been campaigning for more sanctuary cities. Surprise, surprise.

    And the Mayor of SF backtracks obfuscates.

    “I don’t think it’s an appropriate practice, and we rightly ended it. Period,” Newsom said Tuesday, when he initially put responsibility on “the courts,” the district attorney and the probation commission, whose members the mayor appoints.

    Compounding the embarrassment was the city’s fallback position: sending convicted Honduran juveniles to a group home in Southern California. Within 10 days of arriving at the unguarded facility, all eight had run away.

    “These unfortunate escapes are unacceptable and are producing no intended results and creating unintended consequences,” Newsom said. “And so that practice has also stopped. We did this two days ago.”

    Some straight talk:

    “Which means that San Francisco for all intents and purposes is running its own department of immigration,” said Joseph Russoniello, the U.S. attorney for San Francisco. “It’s had its own foreign policy, so having its own immigration policy is the next step.”

    SF will most likely dump them in Oakland. It’s a short bus trip across the Bay, and Oakland is already the State’s favorite dumping ground. Getting out of prison? Here’s a one-way ticket to Oakland, muchacho.

    It would be better to drop them off at Stinson Beach in Marin County. Seadrift is the gated community there where the uber-liberals (like Dianne Feinstein) behave like uber-snobs. You can walk the beach there, just don’t cross a line in the sand 60 feet from the sea wall. If you cross that line, you risk an encounter with private security guards on a public beach.

    It’s just hilarious how out of touch these elitists from San Francisco really are. They make a big push to do the politically correct thing invoking sanctuary city status on foreign nationals, and then they drop the problem onto someone else. Typical, all the Boxer, Feinstein, Obama types want to be politically correct with other peoples money.

    When someone has any sort of criminal activity done to them by any of the ’sanctuary city refugees’, they should sue the sancruary city for any and all damages. Seems to me, this is the tactic that will force the hand of the inept pandering politicians.
