Finally, Mesa Police Chief George Gascón gets to head a police department in a municipality that proudly declares itself to be a sanctuary city.  Chief Gascón will now be shipping out to San Francisco, the City by the Bay, where Tony Bennett left his heart and rational people leave their brains.  Look, rocket science, this ain’t: any place that would consciously elect Nancy Pelosi to public office cannot be firing on all neurons.

Ah, San Francisco.  Where illegal aliens, junkies and transients can congregate without fear of arrest or hassle by those who would seek to enforce the law.  No more hemming and hawing and denying your ‘burg is a sanctuary city.  Shout it from the rooftops and the corners…. but watch out for the junkies’ needles on the sidewalks….

Meanwhile, Hispanic activists and leaders here were saddened by the news of the departure, saying that they were “concerned that they had lost an important voice in the immigration debate.”

Debate?  What debate?  With illegal immigrants flooding over the border, bankrupting the public healthcare and educational systems, clogging the courts and filling the jails…. what’s to debate?

To the extent that the folks saddened by Gascón’s skipping off to SanFran are more concerned that law enforcement go after “real criminals” like murderers, they are advocating nothing less than recognition and acceptance of a race-based immunity from the equal application of the law. 

And they need to remember that, speaking of victims of violence, Phoenix Police Officer Jim Erfle might well be around today but for the fact that he was murdered by a previously-deported illegal immigrant from Mexico. That loser, Erik Martinez, had zero regard for the same immigration laws that those who lament Gascón’s departure want people like Joe Arpaio to ignore.  Get a grip.

And, by the way, have you been to San Francisco lately?  A visit there today gives new meaning to the phrase “a nice place to visit, but you wouldn’t want to live there.”

Best of luck to Gascón: he’s going to need it.
