Breitbart ^ | 01/04/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins acknowledged that city leaders did send a message that anyone could come by being a sanctuary city — although he doesn’t agree with sending that message — but nobody “had any idea that it would lead to this today” when the city became a sanctuary city in the 1980s and the current situation “was completely unpredicted and it’s completely unprecedented and nobody thought a sanctuary city would mean what it means.”

Co-host Sandra Smith asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:30] “[D]idn’t leadership in your city say, we’re a sanctuary city, all are welcome, wasn’t that the message?”

"‘Nobody’ Thought It Would Lead to Current Situation"

Wrong!

Millions of people knew exactly what it would lead to. Anyone who didn't merely refused to face reality or was downright stupid (which is the same thing).

Note tagline.

No, they thought that Arizona and Texas were so way in the boonies that those sanctuary cities would never be affected by the illegal invaders. Let’s be realistic here they REALLY thought the poor illegal invaders would never be able to reach their cities. Thank you governor Abbott for having cojones of steel which the rest of our spineless SOB RINOS lacked! You made those liberal sanctuary cities dreams come true!😊

Virtue signaling always fails when these idiots have to face reality.

The stupidity is unbelievable, Trump said it years before “We have to get the stupid people out of government” Amen, yes we do. They are causing massive problems, these utter morons who think like children in fantasy land instead of reality.

Why do they think immigation laws exist? What gave them the idea it’s better to break those laws than enforce them? These are the same kind of idiots behind no cash bail, defunding cops, and decriminalizing shoplifting. These morons HAVE to be removed from office, but thanks to our media, the people are conned into voting for them.

illegal alien invasion ordered by the human trafficking agencies known as the Democrat Party, the Clintons, the Pelosi’s, the Obamas, their cohorts and every federal department (aka the Democrat Party).

Chicago thought they were so far north, so cold in the winter that invaders wouldn’t find their way there - so it was easy to become a virtue - signaling “sanctuary city.”

Chicago was perfectly happy with invaders as long as they were in YOUR city and not theirs.

Words have meaning, as Rush used to say, votes too.

Enjoy your new colonizers, Chicago, now get to work, those invaders need your tax dollars for their welfare payments.

It’s easy to virtue signal when it costs you nothing. What they really meant was they didn’t think that the border states would take them up on their virtue signal.

Generally, voters try to elect people who can “See it coming.” But apparently, some of the side-effects of becoming a Democrat are deafness, blindness and utter stupidity...but they never seem to lose the ability to run their mouths in front of cameras.

Once again, the law of unintended consequences burns the left.

It’s okay to flood other states with illegals who don’t even want them right?
