San Francisco Is Lost

Honestly, the idiocy of the leadership in San Francisco is breathtaking. Now they're going to stop detaining arrested illegals before they can be deported.

San Francisco, one of the first sanctuary cities in the nation, plans to end its cooperation with federal immigration officials and start releasing illegal immigrants arrested for minor offenses before they can be picked up for deportation.

The city's decision is the latest development in a tug of war between several communities and the federal government over its controversial national program that automatically checks the immigration status of arrestees.

First of all, why is that controversial? Is it controversial to ask for your license and registration if you're pulled over for speeding to make sure you're a licensed driver?

Officials in jurisdictions including Providence, R.I., and Chicago have also challenged the program, which they say undermines trust that it has taken local law enforcement years to build in immigrant communities.

If they're here legally, they have no reason to lose trust in law enforcement. Indeed, it should INCREASE trust because they're doing their job. Liberal arguments are so twisted.
