Aren’t they breaking federal law when they are here illegally?

Canepa, et al seem to have forgotten it is a PRIVILEGE and HONOR to live in the USA, which is the reason tens of thousands are willing to risk their lives and families as well, just to come here! And if you break the law with heinous crimes like child molestation, rape and murder, even after jail time here, you should not be allowed to continue the privilege and honor of living here -illegally.

I know immigrants here legally and some illegally and I know they are law abiding and expect others to be as well. And when felons here illegally are not - and we know they will continue with lawlessness, I've not heard of one person in favor of allowing them to stay. Why would they want those felons in their communities??

There are far too many who waiting their turn to come here, legally - fix the broken system that keeps vetted immigrants out of our country, and send back those who do not respect our laws.

Further, it is ignorant to say/think only Latinos are coming here illegally - If you look at lists OTM (other than Mexicans) there are thousands coming from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, even Canada among other countries. Some countries that have an axe to grind against the US - like Afghan prisoners who are now free -

But Canepa - completely out of line with his talk - disrespectful, not only to Sup Mueller, but to everyone, immigrants included. His statement to Mueller at minute 2 is so divisive "'YOUR white linen tables were YOU eat, WE are preparing your food, WE are picking your produce"

um, no David - YOU are not doing any of that work. But you are exploiting immigrants who work in the service industry just as your buddy P Ting has done.

Personally, I've always liked David and Dave Pine, and I still do. But their politics have changed greatly this past decade and this time they are way off course by miles. The Supervisors were put into office by citizens who voted for them to represent THEIR needs.

Not by felons who are here illegally.

Shame them. Kudos to Mueller.

Copy / paste SF policy because look how good that turned out.

This isn’t the will of the voters and he’s technically beholden to constituents. not non citizens. You can’t just ignore federal immigration law. This is a criminal who doesn’t belong here.

It’s time to locked n load and take matters in our own hands if they are released. Period

[BK-wbbg]

They don’t care about the actual taxpayers

Good luck with your Sanctuary policy and your fentanyl problem that comes with it.

Thank you, good tip, I keep it in mind

Canepa and those like him is a prime example of why we're all in danger in the Bay Area. Just listening to him makes me sick, but then you got 3 other subs voting with him. This will surely come back to haunt them and their county. Oh well, people just don't learn. Thank you Sup Mueller for doing what you could to add balance to this ordeal. Be encouraged and continue to speak for sanity in the leadership

Canepa said it himself. They want them for menial jobs. For little to no pay.

[alexlopez]

Oof... Im staying out of that side of the bay.

[BK-wbbg]

Poor immigrant people suffer the most from these insane policies

[PabloSegura-cbfk]

Crazy story but ... In Mexico one kid got his ass kicked for 2 hours it was a complete stomping just for a bag of chips he stole in a Mexican market .. police Mexico said someone gave that kid a warning before not to steal food from stores or else he would pay off the ruff way .. I mean they almost killed the kid, you should see how they left him.
