San Fran is looking at a plan that allows illegal aliens to work public projects in the city, but not allow honest citizens living in Marin to do the same job.
This takes a lot of law violations and discrimination against Americans.
Why do those running San Fran hate Americans so much?
"From a strictly economic view, tying jobs to residency makes little sense, especially in a place like San Francisco. Such requirements make the labor market less flexible -- never a good thing from the perspective of mainstream economists -- and San Francisco is a relatively small city that's the hub of a very large labor market.
Any job that goes to a San Francisco resident does not go to a resident of a neighboring Bay Area community, and thus is a wash for the regional economy. To look at it another way, if every city in the region had such a law, the positive economic impact for any individual municipality would be nil, but the inefficiencies in the market would raise costs for everyone. A reciprocity provision in the San Francisco law would treat workers from other jurisdictions with local-hire rules as locals. But if such laws were universal, they would have no impact.
It's also the case that these requirements cost money. The original version of the San Francisco legislation would have increased expenditures by $9.3 million annually, according to a city analysis, because contractors might have to pay more if they're drawing their workers from a smaller pool, or pay penalties if they don't hit the local hiring targets."
