Time to Withdraw Federal Funds from S.F.

If the local San Francisco Supervisor has his way, the city will issue I.D. cards for illegal aliens that will be good at all city agencies and organizations that accept city funding. The Supervisor is also encouraging the city's banks and lending institutions to accept the I.D. card to enable illegals to open accounts.

Supervisor Tom Ammiano is drafting legislation that will create the special I.D. card.

Emphasizing that the card would be available to all people living in San Francisco regardless of their immigration status, Ammiano stated, 'There is a large community who contribute, and there are not a lot of safeguards around their (immigration) status, their peace of mind and their ability to participate.'

San Francisco is already a 'sanctuary city,' defying attempts by the federal government to deport illegal aliens. Within sanctuary cities neither the police nor government agencies assist the federal government in deporting those who break the nation's laws by illegal entry.

As we have stated before on The Liberty Sphere, we strongly urge the U.S. Government to withhold all federal funds from any city in America that defies U.S. law by becoming a 'sanctuary city.' My tax dollars should not be used to fund lawless cities such as San Francisco in its flagrant violations of the laws of the land.

The attempt to give official I.D.s to illegal aliens is simply the final straw. New Haven, Connecticut already has such a program. New York City is considering it.

These I.D. cards do nothing but legitimize law-breakers, allowing them to get free healthcare at city facilities, and making it easier to apply for jobs and bank accounts.

U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, had the right idea when he introduced an amendment to a piece of legislation that mandated the withholding of federal funds to sanctuary cities. If municipalities within the United States of America are going to ignore the laws of the country to which they belong, then they should be deprived of the benefits of being a part of that country.

San Francisco has also banned ROTC programs from its high schools because it claims such programs promote 'militarism.'

If this is the case, why don't we help San Francisco rid itself entirely of any vestige of 'militarism' and tell them that from now on, they can provide their own security, and if they are attacked by a foreign entity or a terrorist, they can fend for themselves without the help of those 'militaristic' men and women of the U.S. military who will risk their lives to save their sorry asses.

A word of advice to San Francisco: if you are going to be part of the United States of America, then obey its laws and respect its institutions. If you are not, then simply secede. It won't hurt my feelings in the least.
