Looks like the Democrat Chicago Mayor, who might actually be worse than Lori Lightfoot, has his work cut out for him. Mayor Brandon Johnson is complaining about the migrants showing up in bigger numbers than expected and he's blaming right wing extremism for it. Nah bro, Chicago has been a self-declared sanctuary city for years, so if you're going to open your arms to people, then don't complain when other places send them to you. You wanted it, you got it. Now deal with it yourself. Don't blame Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott when he sends migrants your way. If you're a sanctuary city, then deal with it.
Even worse, the Chicago City Council should be blamed for this mess too because they voted 16-31 against the idea of asking Chicago voters whether they wanted Chicago to remain a sanctuary city or stop doing it. It's like the Democrats in charge won't even listen to their own residents, and if they did, then I bet you the actual citizens would've overturned that nonsense faster than that speeding bullet racing against Superman. WTTW reported on the situation in Chicago, saying this in a political news report:
The special meeting called by Alds. Raymond Lopez (15th Ward), Anthony Beale (9th Ward) and David Moore (17th Ward) for Thursday was a last-ditch effort to put the non-binding question to voters on the March 19 ballot. The City Council is not scheduled to meet again until after the Jan. 2 deadline set by the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.
The vote, which would have suspended the City Council’s rules to allow a final vote on the measure, came without debate, causing an infuriated Beale to jump to his feet and turn to his colleagues.
“What are you scared of?” Beale asked. “The truth?”
Chicago has been a self-proclaimed sanctuary city for more than 38 years, with five mayors vowing to shield all immigrants in Chicago from federal agents, regardless of whether they are citizens, permanent residents or asylum seekers.
