Blog Watch: Don’t believe the MSM: San Fran is still an illegal alien sanctuary

The San Francisco Chronicle’s Jaxon Van Derbeken has done excellent work this past week exposing the abject stupidity, recklessness, and fecklessness of SF Mayor Gavin Newsom’s open-borders administration. Van Derbeken’s reporting was so devastating and so solid that the p.c. editors at his newspaper who initially refused to call the illegal alien drug-dealers illegal (they were referred to as “migrants”) finally relented and used the forbidden word in the headline of Wednesday’s story on Newsom’s finger-pointing news conference. Amazing.

It’s only a matter of time, of course, before the multiculti mob fights back and demands its quota of sympathetic sob stories from the SFChronicle to make amends for–gasp–reporting on illegal alien criminals and the government officials who aid them.

No federal funds for sanctuary cities, sounds reasonable to me.

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007
NEWARK — Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo on Monday accused city officials of complicity in the execution-style slayings of three college students by failing to report the prior arrests of two suspects to immigration authorities.

“If the alleged assailants are found guilty of these brutal crimes, Newark and its political leadership share a degree of culpability,” Tancredo said.

Representatives of several groups — including You Don’t Speak for Me, the 9/11 Families for a Secure America and Citizens for Immigration Control — joined the Republican presidential candidate in calling for an end to policies that bar local police from seeking and sharing information about a suspect’s immigration status.

Speaking on the steps of City Hall, Tancredo said he believes Newark and other cities that protect illegal immigrants through sanctuary policies could be subject to criminal charges for aiding and abetting.

“We can no longer allow illegal aliens to be above the law.” said Tancredo, sponsor of a bill to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities. He asked what officials consider more important: “the safety of the citizens of this city and state or this alleged chilling effect it would have on people reporting crimes?”

Lupe Todd, a spokeswoman for Mayor Cory A. Booker, called Tancredo’s visit to City Hall “crude, irresponsible and polarizing” at a time when the city is trying to heal. “The rule of law does not require the Newark Police Department to do the job of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency,” she said.
