While the ACLU has vigorously attacked ordinances in communities like Hazleton, Pennsylvania, that have attempted to protect themselves against illegal immigration, arguing that they violate the federal government’s exclusive control over immigration policy, the ACLU apparently has no problem with local governments that interfere in immigration policy that favors illegal aliens.
In July, when the city of New Haven, Connecticut, became the first in the nation to decide to issue ID documents to illegal aliens with the express purpose of making it easy for illegal aliens to live and access public services in the city, none of the ACLU’s typical concerns about local interference in a federal matter were raised. The city-issued cards are intended to allow illegal aliens to open bank accounts, use city services, and identify themselves to local police with assurance that they will not be reported to federal immigration authorities.
Not only does the ACLU not see New Haven’s actions as an infringement on federal authority, but neither seemingly does the U.S. Department of Justice, which has remained silent on the matter. Nor does Connecticut’s attorney general apparently believe that New Haven is violating any state laws as he has also declined to take action against the city’s overt abetting of illegal aliens.
Now that San Francisco appears to be taking the first steps towards granting its own amnesty, where is the ACLU?
First off, I don't believe that San Franciscans are really doing this for the sake of the illegal aliens in our city. It is being done to appease the malignant narcissism that rules this town. It is being done so bleeding heart socialists can look in the mirror and bask in sticking it to the red-state conservatives - which is the driving force behind virtually all politics in San Francisco. Results here are not important; what is important is that we look good to ourselves while doing it.
Yes, it is very sick. But that is the way we are.
I'm not a lawyer (so don't shoot!) but I fail to see how Hazelton, PA's efforts are illegal while New Haven's are not. And the fact that the ACLU is silent on the issue of IDs shows perfectly what they are all about, and what they stand for.

The ACLU is preoccupied with trying to get Rust Tierney off on those child porn charges.
