#1 I note that the states are getting ready for the next census, scheduled for 2010. My guess is this announcement in early '07 will give a good head start for a population influx by late '08; after the primaries and not really on the radar yet for the general 'lection.

#2 I wonder what the left would say if a Cities Mayor said they would not assist in collecting federal taxes?

#3 What. a. tool.

The rest of the bay area cities should start dumping their arrested illegals in SF, just to mess with Gavin's head.

#4 Accessory to the fact. Conspiracy. Obstructing federal officers in the performance of their duties.

or

Sic the torte lawyers on them, for every case where a citizen is robbed, raped, assaulted or murdered by an illegal within their jurisdiction for creating the environment which made the crime possible.

#5 SF is self-insured. It would warm the cockles to see some heavy weight Law Center or Law School pick it as a target and sue the living crap out of San Francisco and it's mayor Gavin 'work-for-me-and-I'll-pork-your-wife' Newsom.

#7 It occurs to me the reason for all the symbolic gestures by the Liberal Left and the Democrats, but then I repeat myself, is because they don't actually have to do anything. Take the recent vote in Vermont to impeach the Predident. They can't actually do anything so they "Symbolically" impeached him. Look at all the recent symbolic displays getting play in the media. Symbols can be very powerful in eliciting emotions but they need to be visual. We communicate with symbols every day without uttering actual words but these symbols are visual. Certain street signs, bathroom signs, the symbols for applications on your computer are some examples but they are visual. It seems when someone does something like San Francisco and calls it "Symbolic" it elicits derision and ridicule. Karl Jung had some interesting things to say about symbology in "Man and his Symbols".

#8 Every year the city of San Franciso through the City Attorney's Office officially certifies that they will enforce all federal laws as a condition of the receipt of federal grant funds. Every year they certify, then enforce a policy directly, and knowingly contrary to what they certify. Since this certification has the power of a contractual or sworn statement, the city is knowingly liable to breach of contract and possible perjury charges. The Pacific Legal Foundation or some other group needs to sue for an injunction to this practice. It is just plain illegal.

#10 Hey, let them all go to SF. Let SF taxpayers take care of them all.

Maybe Gavin will find some illegal immigrant's wife to have affair with.
