This could backfire on the mayor for a simple reason. Illegal immigration, and residency, is very publicity driven. When there is publicity in northern Mexico that crossing is hard and dangerous and the chances for getting caught are high, the flow across the border slows to a trickle.

Conversely, when Arizona passed a law designed to clamp down on illegal aliens, a lot of them beat feet an left AZ for good.

So what ICE should do is act like this mayor *is on their side*, and reinforce that ICE is coming, and it is going to round up the illegals and deport them from the whole city.

Of course ICE has no intentions of doing this, nor does it have the resources. But that doesn’t matter. What would the mayor of Oakland do if suddenly hundreds, or even thousands of illegal aliens bugged out?

If they owned property they will sell it at a loss, and it will be snapped up for redevelopment. Since California already has a labor shortage because of their $15/hr wage, if the illegals leave, it may cause a lot of businesses to shut their doors.

etc.
