If We Don't Act, San Francisco Won't Be The Last City To Thumb Its Nose At The American People!

This is the predictable next step for all rogue municipalities.

First tell illegal aliens you'll protect them from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) -- even if they have rap sheets.  Rule #1 in America: You don't have to obey its laws.

Next spread the word you'll support them and their families from the cradle to the grave, just as you've promoted deviant behavior and called it "marriage" and expanded homeless welfare programs.

And third, parade your defiance of our nation's laws before the entire world, which despises America because of its greatness and cheers anyone who thumbs his nose at the Stars and Stripes.

Look at it this way: San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and many more are evolving into "city-states."  Like poisonous toadstools, they've sprung up all over the country, declaring their independence from the rule of law. 

The U.S. Constitution reserves rights to the states and to the American people...  

But the Constitution does not give cities the right to VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW.  These sanctuary cities defy our Constitution when they defy federal law.  They are essentially seceding from the United States of America, one law at a time.

When it comes to taking federal tax dollars for welfare programs, it's "God Bless America!"  But when it comes to turning illegal aliens with criminal records over to ICE, San Francisco politicians renounce their citizenship.

So where is the outrage?  Why aren't the TV anchors and newspaper columnists in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles worried about a "constitutional crisis?"

Where are the Special Reports, the Pulitzer-Prize winning editorials, the four-part articles in The New Yorker and the Washington Post?

Let's face it: When the Far-Left breaks the law or violates the U.S. Constitution, media outlets are as quiet as a caterpillar oozing across a magnolia leaf.

It's only when some high school valedictorian mentions God or a preacher endorses a Republican that the anchors and the editorialists begin to grind their teeth and flare their nostrils.

Besides, the Pulitzer folks don't give out prizes for attacks on liberals.

            You and I will have to supply the outrage.

Nor Is San Francisco The First City To Thumb Its Nose At The American People!

Newsom isn't the only mayor who shows his contempt for the Constitution.

There's Mayor Bloomberg of New York City, where five men -- four of them illegal aliens -- attacked a mother of two.  She described them as "a pack of wild wolves in search of prey." 

Here is her account of what they did to her:

"They savagely dragged me like an animal, like a piece of furniture, and took me to a secluded area of the park, a hut, a foul place that smelled so bad that not even animals should be made to be there... ."

Three of the four illegal aliens had criminal records, including a conviction for abducting a woman and locking her in a basement.  Two had done time. 

Why were these men still in the United States of America, where they could simply victimize more people?

Because all these vicious acts occurred in New York City -- and for a decade, New York has maintained a policy that forbids any agency from reporting illegal aliens to federal immigration authorities.  

Recently, a Federal Court ordered this sanctuary city to change its policy.  So Mayor Michael Bloomberg drafted a new policy -- one that instructed New York workers NEVER TO ASK ANYONE'S IMMIGRATION STATUS.    

So if you don't know four convicted criminals are in the United States illegally, you can't turn them over to the feds for deportation, can you?

You might call this the flip side of "compassionate conservatism" -- unless you're the woman who was dragged into that foul den by five rabid animals.

Doing The Jobs Americans Won't Do?

Six Texas mayors from border towns are actually threatening to sue the U.S. government to block the border fence and stop the tightening of border security.  Laredo Mayor Raul Salinas said: "We have to protect our property and we will do whatever is necessary to ensure there is no wall."

WHAT property is Salinas talking about?  The border fence will protect the property of farmers and ranchers.

These six are playing politics with the future of the country, shamelessly catering to agri-business in South Texas, to an industry that reaps enormous profits by exploiting illegal aliens and treating them as slave labor.

With a patient smile and a shrug of his shoulders, the international business spokesperson explains: These good and simple folks are doing jobs Americans refuse to do.

Oh really? 

Rich Lowry has pointed out in National Review:

Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies makes a similar point:

"If the supply of foreign workers were to dry up (say, through actually enforcing the immigration law, for starters), employers would respond to this new, tighter, labor market in two ways. One, they would offer higher wages, increased benefits, and improved working conditions, so as to recruit and retain people from the remaining pool of workers. At the same time, the same employers would look for ways to eliminate some of the jobs they now are having trouble filling. The result would be a new equilibrium, with blue-collar workers making somewhat better money, but each one of those workers being more productive.

Economist Phillip Martin of the University of California at Davis -- who specializes in agricultural economics -- analyzed the bracero guest-worker program of the 1960s and found that when the cheap labor was withdrawn, remaining workers, members of the United Farm Workers Union, received a 40% increase in wages. 

So with this huge rise in wages did the cost of fruits and vegetables spiral out of sight? Nope. In fact, American consumers barely felt the bump. 

Martin figures that if those jobs did not go to illegal aliens, the increased wages for legal American workers would cost the average family ABOUT $10 A YEAR MORE FOR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES!

So don't let the politicians hustle you and don't let the International Business Lobby make you sweat.  You can tell yourself with certainty: There is no job Americans won't do for a reasonable wage.
