Here's one reason I really begrudge paying my taxes. A terrorist nuke in downtown San Francisco would be the epitome of irony.

Beautiful city. If they used a neutron bomb, the rest of us might just let them off with a warning.

I'm sure the feds can put pressure on San Fran's mayor to get him to change his mind about flaunting the law simply because he doesn't agree with it.

Wow, you guys are worse than I am. I fully expected to get flamed BIG TIME. :D

When I was there a few years ago, a local told me how the city actually paid the homeless something like $400 a month if you could prove you're homeless. :huh  What do you do to qualify, not show them your drivers license, or the keys to your Lexus? :rofl  Boggles the mind.

The solution is really simple.  Hold every San Francisco councilman and politician criminally and financially responsible for everything an illegal alien does within the city limits of San Francisco.


If an illegal robs the bank for $10,000, every politician that has made San Francisco a sanctuary city will owe the bank $10,000.  Each.

If an illegal murders someone, that representative will ALSO stand trial right next to the illegal for murder.

Last time I read.....Federal Law supersedes State law.  I would assume State law also supersedes local law.

Maybe the Dept.of the Interior and DOT can withold funds.

These are the same people who would not let Berkley Fire Depts. display an american flag just after 9/11.

The Feds and State could also press charges for violations of the law no?

I know in the past states have cecceded from the Union, (Civil War) but I wonder if there are any provisions to kicking a state out of the Union. I'd be all for getting rid of California, and seeing if Puerto Rico or Guam want to take their place.

Now that would be funny. Vote California off the island. :aok

Considering ALL the money we would save by not having to pay for ALL their social programs like housing, feeding, schooling, and giving medical care to all the illegals they let in their state we would probably come out ahead on the deal.

Just not seeing a downside right now.

It's a huge drain in federal resources and operates in the red... by all means, cut it loose.
