Whoa! How'd I miss this? Newsom refuses to comply with fed immigration legislation

Subtitled "Thank Goodness There is a Politician with Juevos"

OT! Warning! OT!!

Just a sidenote, he is really cute. After I watched a show tonight on his plan for homelessness which *incredibly* shows knowledge, insight, foresight, and desire - I was actually thinking "I wonder where I could *accidentally* run into him... "
I will now thoughtfully post a photo - He doesn't usually look this smarmy:


Sadly, this was his last girlfriend. Apparently an Italian/Greek actress. I've faced that he probably won't ask me out if I do see him. But bonus points for him, because she is older than he is. 2 years.


Here is Gavin's Wikipedia, pretty interesting career:

Okay, back on topic


Sorry if everyone already knows this. I watch/read news sporadically. I heard a few things, but nothing this concrete.
Ha, this is actually from a website that opposes Newsom doing this. But the article they reference is from the examiner, so I'll put that link.


"Mayor Gavin Newsom said Thursday that The City will not comply with any federal legislation that criminalizes efforts to help illegal immigrants.

...

Newsom ... appeared with a group of elected officials on the steps of City Hall to support immigrants, “documented as well as undocumented.”Newsom also signed a resolution sponsored by Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, and passed unanimously by the Board of Supervisors, urging San Francisco law enforcement not to comply with criminal provisions of any new immigration bill.

“San Francisco stands foursquare in strong opposition to the rhetoric coming out of Washington, D.C.,” Newsom said. “If people think we were defiant on the gay marriage issue, they haven’t seen defiance.”[/B]

It is not the first time San Francisco has weighed in on the immigration issue. In 1989, the Board of Supervisors made San Francisco a “City of Refuge.” The ordinance forbids city resources from being used to enforce federal immigration laws or to gather or disseminate information regarding the status of residents of The City. The Board of Supervisors passed a resolution reaffirming the ordinance in January."
