A meeting over Chicago's brewing migrant crisis in the Brighton Park neighborhood became heated as residents protested a planned camp that can house over 2,000 migrants, according to Fox 32 Chicago.
Residents of the southwest side of Chicago neighborhood were fiercely divided over the plan, with city officials confirming their plans to build a camp for migrants on a "10-acre vacant lot, located at 38th and California," per the outlet.
"The City of Chicago has been identifying viable sites across the city to construct base camps as an alternative to new arrivals sleeping outdoors, at O’Hare and on the floors of police district stations as winter fast approaches," a statement from the mayor’s office reads.

"We have concerns about our students, our children who walk on this street every day, how do we ensure their safety," another community member said.
Some local officials said that they did not learn of the city's plan to build a camp for migrants until residents started making phone calls. "[Residents] were calling our office and you know, frankly, that’s how I was first notified," Ald. Julia Ramirez told Fox 32. "I had reached out to the city and they verified that was the case and ever since then, I’ve been pushing the administration to be more open, more transparent about the details."
Ramirez continued: "The Mayor’s office did not consult with me or my office about their current plans to construct a temporary shelter — meant to house 1,500 people...

They voted for Biden. Deal with it.
“Asian-American residents of Brighton Park, Chicago are furious about illegal migrants coming to their neighborhood
87% of this area voted for Biden in 2020”
38th and California?
26th and California is the location of the Cook County jail. Maybe they should put that to use.
When did allowing illegals to cross the border morph into giving them money, shelter, food and good paying jobs all at the expense of existing legal citizens and immigrants going through proper channels?
They don’t have to ... haven’t you figured it out yet plantation people?
They just need a huge tax increase.
I would gladly give one month’s pre-tax income if they would put several bus loads of these people in tents in my leftist brother-in-laws gated community. Closer the better to him and his communist wife.
What percentage was their vote for mayor Brandon? He does have the power to run these people out of Cook County. The fact that he is not doing that is evidence that he wants them there.
Cook County jail is 96+ percent full at any given time
It’s a small price to pay for no more mean tweets from the bad orange man. Suck it up, you voted for it.
MORE BUSSES!!!!!! Keep up the burn and make them put their money (and lives) where their mouths and political action are.
MORE MORE MORE till it hurts.
I’m afraid that location is already above full capacity.
They also voted for the socialist mayor.
send more busses to Chicago!
They don’t need to be asked... They voted their representatives in.
...and here we go...
bidumb let in 7mil right?
and as of late everyone is
NOW very much more attentive
to the border - terrorists, unvetted individuals, etc
and Home Sec is vomiting warnings for people living
their regular lives- HoSec is escalating the I-P war here by these pronouncements citing domestic terrorism and lo & behold a most unfortunate this x- Army? & mentally ill
domestic terrorist killed a lot of people in Maine.
Is he being made a example & as a warning by HoSec?
The latest reports say he is dead but by who’s hand ???
Wtf?? 😎a Mysterious letter??😎
😎I wanna’ see a MANIFESTO!😎
As usual, this is what they voted for - believing that things like this would never happen in their neighborhoods, only in other people’s.
This is the “chickens coming home to roost” - so suck it up, you’ll find no sympathy from me.
You’ll also need to cough up more tax $$ to illegals can have free housing, “culturally sensitive” meals, free medical and their fair share of the welfare pie.
Keep those buses, rolling, rolling, rolling...
