Gavin Newsom Responds

I wrote a post about Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco, and his blatant disregard of immigration law and I sent a link to him. He wrote me back:
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for contacting my office recently with your thoughts and ideas regarding San Francisco’s status as a Sanctuary City. We always appreciate hearing from pro-active people like yourself.
Since the time of the Gold Rush, immigrants have come to San Francisco from every country in the world, opening businesses, creating jobs, paying taxes, taking leadership in government, and rebuilding San Francisco after the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes. Today 1 in 3 San Franciscans were born overseas and are a vital part of our economy and culture
In my first Executive Directive of 2007, I reaffirmed the City and County of San Francisco’s commitment to its Sanctuary City status, originally established in 1989. As a Sanctuary City, San Francisco has and will continue to provide compassionate services to all immigrants, regardless of status. I want to make it clear that no city resources will be used in immigration detention or arrest proceedings unless required by federal law.
When certain people are targeted and denied access to vital social services, the health and safety of the entire city is compromised. .Federal immigration raids are hindering the well-being of San Francisco.
Countless crimes have gone unreported over concerns that by contacting local police, good citizens could put their family and livelihood at risk.
This risk also encourages parents from sending their children to school or seeking medical treatment when in desperate need of care. We can not, under good conscience, endorse any policy that would be counter-productive to affluence of working families.San Francisco joins with over 20 other cities, including Detroit, New York, Boston, and Chicago, by continuing its traditional role as a Sanctuary City. I strongly oppose any effort to require public safety officials, teachers, doctors, and any other City employee to report the immigration status of anyone seeking help.
Thank you again for contacting me. I hope together that we can create common-sense immigration policy that will benefit everyone.
Sincerely
Gavin Newsom
Mayor
You will notice that he reaffirms his commitment to help break the law and he tries this mumbo jumbo about immigrants coming here for a long time blah, blah. He also tries to tell me about crime not reported because of fear. How about the crime that arrived with the ILLEGALS? How about if they were not there it would not be an issue. He is obviously not bright enough to figure all that out. I replied to his email:
Well thank you for responding sir. I have to disagree with you. It is a violation of the United States Code for you not to assist with immigration enforcement. Perhaps you should learn the law.
I know full well that immigrants have come to San Fran (and the rest of our country for that matter) for a long time and nearly all of them came here legally. I will tell you what Sir, how about you don’t get any federal money as long as you harbor criminals? How about those of us who work and pay taxes refuse to allow our money to go to your city until you get your head out of your rectal cavity and obey the law.
If I rob a bank in Vegas and come there will you harbor me as well? Or are you a selective enforcer of the law? Perhaps you harbor ILLEGALS so you can have more voters. Pathetic, truly pathetic.
I am glad I do not live in San Fran but if I did I would report ILLEGALS every day and I would run against you and take your job. They need a real man who can follow the law and it just isn’t you.
He will not like that but who cares. I am serious about our taxes. We should demand that sanctuary cities not get any federal money. Taxpayer money should not go to the cities that help people break the law and that refuse to uphold their duties under the law. The US Code is pretty clear about what they are supposed to do.
Newsom is another loser politician who panders to ILLEGALS. These kinds of things usually happen to guys who have concerns about the size of their anatomy.

Damn fine response on your part BD, too bad it will be lost in the pile…. That whole city could disappear and I would shed no tears.
I’m glad you posted this. Looks like one of Feinstein’s responses to me. I mean, paragraph for paragraph. Thank you for contacting me about X, my position on the issue is Y, I refuse to allow Z.
There must be some template floating around…around…hey, what city is DiFi from again?
I know you’re just trying to be snarky with that parting shot, but I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. You don’t have to have followed Gavin very long, to figure out the horndog has some serious issues with “Little Gavin.”
I like your point about the illegals having something to do with crime in the first place. You can probably claim a mantle of authority in talking to Mayor Newsom about crime, since the chair I’m sitting on probably knows more about fighting crime than he does. As of the end of 2005, San Francisco’s “unpreventable” homicides spiraled out of control and the murder rate set a new record for the previous 10 years. http://cbs5.com/local/local_story_364151544.html. In short, like most liberals Mayor Newsom has an impressive array of ideas about what to do with various social problems, but when he tries ’em out in real life the results are either lackluster or just plain bad. The debate that ensues — always, always, always, it seems — has to do with where the blame should be placed.
The point hardly ever seems to be given due prominence when we argue about illegal aliens, even though everything depends on it: “illegal” means any question about criminal histories, or sex offender histories, or employment histories, can go NOWHERE. The correct answer to any such question is “I dunno.” That’s what the I-word really means, and that’s what makes it a bad idea. Look for SF’s crime statistics to hit a spike as of early ’07…and, once such statistics become available, look for our liberals to blame it on a lack of social services.
Thanks for the comments. I guess we uneducated rubes don’t understand it the way he or the other elitists do…
