            THE CITY BY THE BAY CATERS TO CRIMINAL ILLEGALS

  (Mr. POE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. POE. Madam Speaker, I bring you an update from the City by the 
Bay. San Francisco recently spent $50 million proudly advertising that 
it was a sanctuary city. I now give you the results of this very 
successful PR campaign, because it has worked.
  This week's example is illegal Edwin Ramos. He loves San Francisco 
because even though he has been arrested twice for felonies, the 
compassionate folks of San Francisco never wanted him deported back to 
El Salvador. So he stuck around, got arrested for a gun charge this 
spring, and still wasn't sent home.
  So last week he got a bit of road rage and gunned down Anthony 
Bologna and his two sons, Matthew and Michael, while they were 
returning from a family picnic. Mrs. Bologna blames the city for the 
murders because it ``caters to illegals''. I hope the mayor of San 
Francisco is proud of his sanctuary policy for illegals because it's 
cost three lives.
  Mrs. Bologna should have a wrongful death cause of action against the 
City of San Francisco, especially the mayor, for its sanctuary policy. 
And Congress should prohibit all Federal funds from going to cities 
like San Francisco that proudly ignore American immigration laws and 
welcome foreign outlaws like Ramos.
  And that's just the way it is.
