  • Joseph Patrick Murphy - Immigration, Public Safety, and Civic Responsibility

    Joseph Patrick Murphy - Immigration, Public Safety, and Civic Responsibility
    Dec 18 2025
    In this pre-holiday episode of The Right Side of the Rivers, hosts Todd McCollum and Russell Dryer are joined by immigration attorney and former judicial candidate Joseph Patrick Murphy for a deep and thoughtful conversation on immigration law, border policy, and the state of civic life in Allegheny County. Murphy, a Roman Catholic, Republican, and longtime advocate for legal immigration, offers insights from over 25 years of experience helping people follow U.S. immigration laws the right way. The discussion spans topics like asylum delays, ICE cooperation in local municipalities, the sanctuary city debate, Springdale Borough’s 287(g) agreement, and what “legal immigration” truly means in practice. We also reflect on the legacy of public service, constitutional order, and the strain that illegal entry places on the system and on those trying to follow the law. The episode opens with reflections on the Army-Navy Game Watch Party, a public hearing on the Pittsburgh city budget, and recent headlines - from acts of violence against Jewish communities to concerns over government transparency and public safety. This is a must-listen episode for anyone seeking clarity on immigration issues from a constitutional and compassionate lens - and a reminder that effective leadership begins at the local level. From all of us at The Right Side of the Rivers: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and warm holiday wishes to our listeners across the Pittsburgh region. Special Guest: Joseph Patrick Murphy.
