Probably because the paper you link doesn’t mention SF or illegal immigration and attributes much of the rise to housing asylum seekers in emergency shelters in New York, Denver, Chicago and Massachusetts.

If you’re going to talk about reality you probably should read the sources you cite.

Asylum seekers usually start out as illegal immigrants. You’re either innocent or ignorant (which is worse?), but asylum fraud occurs at a non-trivial rate as well.

Regarding the sentence which introduces the newspaper, if your reading comprehension is failing you, that’s not my problem.
