Many years ago, my father explained why we left Cuba and moved to the U.S. It sounds like a fairy tale but it's true. It was not about economics or looking for a job. My father could have found a job in the new Cuban Central Bank and enjoyed some bureaucratic privileges. We left Cuba because he was thinking about his kids, not himself. Or, social benefits that we would qualify for in the U.S.
In fact, my father did not know what Social Security was until he saw a deduction on his first paycheck. Welfare? All we ever got was used furniture and winter coats. They were given to us by a generous church. We came here because my late father said that in the U.S. laws would be respected by all, or what we often to refer to as the rule of law.
My good guess is that my late father would be concerned about what we've just seen in Oakland -- a mayor who protects criminals. This is an amazing story that sounds a lot more like a Latin American country than the U.S.:...........Read more
My Take - It's clear this mayor committed a crime. I'm still wondering why she hasn't been charged with a crime? At some point the federal government is going to have to arrest public officials in California over this immigration issue. Either they're breaking federal law or they're not.
My adivce to federal officials lamenting this action.
If they are then prosecute them. If they're not, then shut up. But if they are - and they are - don't shoot off your mouth and then fail to enforce the very laws you say they're breaking.
According to this Townhall article: "Schaaf has defended her decision to tip off illegals in the area, suggesting it was noble and the "right thing" to do. She has no regrets. The DOJ is considering what to do with Schaaf, currently reviewing whether the mayor broke any laws. They do know, however, that she'd be willing to go to jail."
She also claims thay have a "legal right" to be a sanctuary city. That's blatant nonsense! The federal government has sole jurisdiction over migration, and any efforts to undermine that authority is a crime. There are no such thing as sanctuary cities or states in law. They can call themseles anything they like, but that doens't make it legal.
I think they need to stop 'considering' and start doing to help her attain the martyrdom she seems to desire so badly, and send her to jail. How much do you want to bet her "willingness" will end once that ball starts rolling over her.
