San Francisco -- An effort by San Francisco to shield eight young Honduran crack dealers from federal immigration officials backfired when the youths escaped from Southern California group homes within days of their arrival, officials said Monday.
The walkaways are the latest in a string of embarrassments for city officials who are protecting illegal-immigrant drug dealers from federal authorities and possible deportation because of San Francisco's 1989 declaration that the city is a sanctuary for undocumented immigrants.
Until recently, San Francisco flew juvenile illegal immigrants convicted of drug crimes to their home countries rather than cooperate with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a practice that drew national attention when The Chronicle reported it Sunday.
When federal law enforcement authorities demanded that San Francisco halt the flights and began a criminal investigation, the city decided to house some of the dealers in long-term youth rehabilitation centers. Some of those centers are run by a nonprofitcompany called Silverlake Youth Services in mountain towns southeast of San Bernardino.
Eight Honduran juveniles who had been convicted of dealing drugs in San Francisco were sent within the past few weeks to the company's group homes, where one month's placement costs $7,000 per youth - an expense borne by San Francisco taxpayers.
Within 10 days of being sent to the unlocked group homes, however, all eight youths ran away, said Bill Siffermann, head of juvenile probation in San Francisco. He said his agency has issued arrest warrants for them.
$7000 a month!! Holy shit, some kids of celebritys don't get that spent on them every month, I am sure. Was the food gold plated? That is almost 6 months pay for me. I should start dealing crack.

It is Cali for you. The only reason it is non-profit is because they pay themselves everything. You won't see them taking Medi-care or Medi-Cal for certain.

If they tax payers don't want this, they should try and stop it. Still, I'm definitely more comfortable with individual communities deciding what to do with illegals within their community rather than feds coming in and performing sweeps. All in all, in San Fran wants to hang on to these kids, they should be housed in juvenile detention rather than an expensive group home. They WERE selling crack, after all.

If they kept them in a detention center the feds would know. SF is a joke. They have like 15 county supervisors for a population of about 650k. LA has 5 supervisors and a population of 10 million.
The City of San Francisco should lose all Federal funding for its' schools, roads, highways, hospitals, law-enforcement, public housing etc... No student who is a resident of San Francisco should receive Federal student loans to attend university. No college or university within the confines of San Franciso should be allowed to receive federal funding. No students attending those colleges or universities should receive federal student loans. No citizen/resident of San Franciso should receive Social Security payments or MediCare/MedicAid payments. All U.S. Government agencies and offices within San Francisco should be moved.
That would be just the beginning. Let me deal with these people. I'll have them begging to say the Pledge of Allegiance while they listen to John Philip Sousa music!
