I'm surprised they didn't give him more money. Do you SF residents see how crazy you look to everyone else??

Idiots, but I'm really annoyed at people like him who break the laws of our country and have the nerve to say what happened to him was "unfair." Give me a break.

The only reason he can get away with this, is because the people of SF/California let him, by being "sensitive" pushovers. Illegal is illegal, it's ridiculous

I really don't understand what current dems obsession is with open boarders and protecting people who are living here illegally. 20 years ago this wasnt a partisan issue.

Hispanic votes is the reason. The fastest growing demographic in the country.

Well you must understand "intersectionality" (a psycho-babble exercise creating a hierarchical victim list). You see, the Salvadoran "immigrant" was disadvantaged by virtue of his 'melanin level' and his socio-economic background. The patriarchal white-supremacist United States robbed the wealth of El Salvador thereby leaving the gentleman without any other option but to live in San Francisco. 190k is far too little.

I don't think it has anything to do with boarders per se. Just that being "illegal" doesn't mean "inhuman". Today, the law excludes those people from a certain status, but tomorrow, it could be communists, leftists, White, Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, Black, Asian, women, children, anyone called John... any definition can apply in a legal framework to make people illegal, it's totally subjective. That shouldn't deny human rights to those people.

And the intend of the law, according to the article, was to make sure everyone reports crimes instead of being afraid of deportation. I think it's a fair statement, we gain to have people reporting crimes no matter what their status is. It certainly doesn't make a crime less "criminal" just because it was on or witnessed by someone with an illegal status.

They want it for a few reasons. First is for Hispanic votes, as mentioned. Second, driving down wages (which open borders does) makes more people rely on Democrat-advocated government assistance. This brings in more votes. Finally, driving down wages brings in corporate dollars (just look at the tech industry). The current crop of Democrats want the middle and working class to be poor because it gives them more power, yet spin it in various ways to distract from that fact, like crying racism and such.

Democrats no longer represent the working and middle classes.
