Eliana Lopez came to America to sponge off the tax-payers.
She is the former television star from Venezuela who married a local San Francisco politician who was just recently elected Sheriff of San Francisco City and County, Ross Mirkarimi, himself the first generation descendant of Iranian and Jewish-Russian immigrant or daughter of immigrants. He is also a radical hate America leftist. The typical leftist who supports extreme anti-male laws regarding domestic battery.
Such laws were allegedly passed to control the epidemic of wife-beatings in California and throughout the country. Part of these laws are mandatory arrest requirements for any allegation, however minor.
Of course Mirkarimi is not the stereotypical abuser who beats his wife at the drop of a hat to the point of severe or even minor injury.
And it is well known that false accusations of domestic abuse are legion among vengeful women. Especially women who are not quite stable from the beginning. In fact, real abuse has been untouched by the laws, as they are mostly deployed against middle class white males. In the end, because of their workload and the reality that most incidents of abuse are minor and of no real consequence, most accused are let off with anger management courses and deferred prosecution.
And of no use against the real abuser, most of whom are from the lower classes and not usually white.
But there is a real San Francisco twist here. Accusations of racism and blame America first have appeared. No surprise because San Francisco denizens hate America. And no one hates America more than immigrants in the Golden State and on the Golden Mountain.
Which brings us to the ingrate immigrant Lopez. She blames America for her minorly abusive commie husband, the crazed leftist domestic violence laws, and her own personal problems that set her husband off, typical of those from Venezuela.

Mirkarimi Wife: 'This Country Is Destroying My Family'
Despite the impassioned pleas of Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi’s wife, a judge has renewed a court order barring him from seeing or contacting his spouse or son until his domestic abuse trial is over.
“This country is trying to pull my family apart,” Eliana Lopez told Judge Susan Breall at her husband’s arraignment Thursday. “This is the real violence, I believe … “
Outside court, an emotional Lopez told reporters that “this country has not allowed me to work on my marriage in a healthy way. I feel like … everybody is using my family, myself, in a political game just to destroy Ross.”
She added, “This country is destroying my family.”
It appears that Lopez was at one point playing her own game. Planning to leave with their child to Venezuela and since there is no extradition treaty with the communist run coutry and Venezuela is a signatory to the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction but not a member of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, there is not any real legal recourse for Americans in Venezuelan courts. Once she left with the child, he would never see his son again.
That videotape, which police later seized along with texts and emails between the women, shows a tearful Lopez describing how her husband bruised her arm that day, according to court documents. Lopez also reportedly discussed earlier physical abuse, and made the tape to ensure that her husband couldn’t obtain sole custody of their 2-year-old son.
A delicious aspect of this is seeing leftists hoisted on their own petard. The interesting reaction is that of the so-called conservative talk station in San Francisco, KSFO, and the screechy co-host of the morning show, Melanie Morgan, who replaced the much more intelligent Officer Vic, who are playing the poor abused woman card. Perhaps just because Mirkarimi is a commie, but in the long run, men are losing out on the false or exaggerated claims of abuse by women. And most of the victims of this injustice are white males. Though Mirkarimi is not one of us, either by blood or belief, it is always nice to see a leftist get the business that they so much enjoy dishing out, but in the end, he is learning how it is to be at least perceived as a white male in America.
In the end though, Lopez, like most immigrants, goes to the same well. Blame America for everything, including her own personal problems and patterns of behavior. Shame on her and her ilk.
