SAN FRANCISCO SPENDING TAX DOLLARS TO WELCOME ILLEGAL ALIENS - REPUBLICAN JEFF MILLER SAYS CITY SHOULD BE DENIED STATE FUND UNTIL THEY AGREE TO OBEY STATE LAW

MISSION VIEJO, CA -- In reaction to the City of San Francisco's new ad campaign welcoming illegal aliens to the city, local Republican Mayor and 71st Assembly district candidate Jeff Miller said today that the first bill he will introduce once elected to the Assembly will be to cut all state funding for San Francisco until they obey federal immigration laws.

"San Francisco's City Council and Mayor always seem to be on the wrong side of the law, be it gay marriage or illegal immigration," said Miller.   "The city is spending tax dollars on advertising to welcome illegal aliens to their city, making a mockery of our nation's federal immigration laws. California's taxpayers should not send one more dollar to San Francisco until Mayor Newsom and the City Council agree to drop this insulting campaign and start obeying the law."

"Corona Mayor Jeff Miller has taken the lead enforcing immigration laws while San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has taken the lead in ignoring the law and welcoming illegals to his community," said former Senator Dick Mountjoy, the author of Proposition 187. "Miller's legislation to cut state funds from San Francisco until they agree to obey the law makes great sense and deserves widespread support."

Mayor Jeff Miller has a strong eight-year record of working to stop illegal immigration.  On the City Council, Jeff led the effort to allow police to deport criminal aliens following their arrest and worked closely with police and schools to keep kids learning and out of the street protests of Spring 2005.  In addition, he also was a co-chair of the Border Police Initiative, sponsored by retired Senator Ray Haynes in 2006.

San Francisco's advertising campaign of welcoming illegal aliens through billboards, radio ads and other advertising was reported today in the San Francisco Chronicle.
