So much poverty in America, yet they still find money to help those who broke the law and gave the middle finger to all the immigrants waiting in line. I hope Trump doesn't come center on this issue and blocks federal funding to SF until they change their path.

I'm wondering who you all think will bus tables and drive cabs in the most expensive city in the country if not undocumented workers? They're the only ones willing to live ten to an apartment in SF.

Truth.

Did it ever occur to the illegal immigrant champions that the lives of American citizens are being adversely impacted, e.g. crime, housing availability, escalating medical costs ? Seriously. These dolts want to divert taxpayers money to protect non-citizens! I didn't vote Trump, but I totally understand why Americans did when it comes to this issue.

No comment on the immigrants but keep in mind that SF has a 9.6 BILLION dollar budget this fiscal year. I imagine that is more than many states and countries.

Uber is the future of taxi service and most Uber drivers aren't illegals. A lot of people want to be Uber drivers.

$13/hour to bus tables plus tips, there are plenty of Americans and immigrants (legal) who would be happy with that.

All illegals do is drive wages down because instead of paying a legal person $13/hour plus some benefits, they can now pay an illegal $10/hour or less with no benefits. That's why illegal immigration hurts the poor the most. The kid living in the ghetto could have got a busser job making $13/hour, tips and some benefits... but since the restaurant can skip all that and just hire an illegal, that kid in the ghetto doesn't have a job.
