Charles has a post up that relates to typical NYC liberalism:
There’s a protest planned tonight in Manhattan beginning at 7 pm, to demand that Mayor Michael Bloomberg fire Omar Mohammedi from the NYC Commission on Human Rights.
You can read why at link to lgf above. That led me to visit the NYC Civil Rights site where I found this. Here: An Open Letter to Immigrant Students is one of the headlines you'll find there, but it's a bit misleading. My point on that is, you have to click the thing to realize it says nothing at all about students and it isn't directed at actual immigrants. It's an open invitation to all illegal immigrants to use health care services on our dime, paid for through taxes and health care premiums. And it's a government agency doing the soliciting. These agencies are designed and funded by and for taxpayers to serve the voters that put politicians in office.
The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) was created by New York State legislation in 1970 as a public benefit corporation
But they aren't serving us, they are serving whichever group they choose.
Open Letter to Immigrant New Yorkers
Do not be afraid to go to the doctor, the clinic, the hospital or the emergency room. The government has not passed any new law about immigrants. Undocumented immigrants can get medical care in New York with no fear.The Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) runs the public hospitals in New York City. We respect you and want to help you. People who work in a public hospital will not tell the Immigration Service or other law enforcement agencies your immigration status. We will not tell anyone. Our public hospitals and health centers have a long and proud history of caring for everyone. That includes people who are not legal immigrants and people who do not have money to pay for care. Our commitment is strong. It has not changed.
This is our promise to all undocumented immigrants:


The Palm Beach County Sheriff's office has a special program for illegals to help them obtain ID and bank accounts.

Good to see the Sheriff knows what his/her job is. Reminds me, when I lived in suburban DC, I lived near a massive building, the Department of Agriculture library. In it one could take classes in foreign languages and a lot of other subjects. Just the thing for the Department of Agriculture to be involved in. Wonder what the Education Department is up to.

No federal aid to states that have sanctuary cities. See how long they keep it up then.
