Joe Scarborough: Sanctuary City Advocates 'Have All The Best Intentions'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/21/2025 2:04:30 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Pathetic. Weak. Intimidated.

Discussing the shooting of a federal LE officer by an illegal alien, the guest was a senior NYC police official, John Chell. He gave off the vibes of a traditional cop. But after years of immersion in New York's liberal politics, and likely haunted by the specter of an imminent Mayor Mamdani, Chell chickened out.

Instead of stating the obvious — that sanctuary city laws need to be utterly abolished — Chell suggested that they merely require "thoughtful change."

Translation of Chell's mealy-mouthed proposal for "thoughtful change": Keep sanctuary city laws on the books for the great majority of illegal immigrants. Make an exception for the "small minority" who commit crimes in addition to their original crime of entering the country illegally. And even create a "path"-- presumably to citizenship -- for the great majority of illegals!

The pusillanimous Scarborough agreed with Chell's prescription. Whereas the careerist cop was seeking to appease New York's liberal powers-that-be, Scarborough was kowtowing to his liberal viewers and network suits:

"You've been very careful to explain. You understand the purpose behind sanctuary cities, and you understand that it's motivated by people with all of the best intentions . . . Again, it's a minority of those that have come to this country illegally, but still the inability to be able to lock them up because of the sanctuary city status. You say that's the real problem here."

Hey, Hitler was trying to purify Europe by destroying all of the “mongrel races”. So, I guess, he had the best intentions. Shall we mourn for him?

I don’t care what people mean to do. It’s what they do that I don’t like.

Lessee now…

Cop advocates

- open nullification of Federal law

- according illegal aliens more rights then citizens since they get to break law with impunity

- further suggests rewarding them with citizenship for doing so

Shoulda been stripped of his badge. What populace, what electorate does he think gave him the office?

And all migrants are “good-hearted people” who are just looking to better their lives by getting higher-paying jobs. Scarborough is channeling George Bush on this issue.

Good intentions and ignorant. Isn’t that like driving through the woods late at night and picking up a hitchiker?

Somebody needs to start asking these jackasses how many illegals they have living with them.

Give them sanctuary - in a jail cell. If they want thoughtful change, give them 2 cents after a few days in jail, then kick them out of the country. They have little respect for our nation and our citizens.
