Chicago has a HUGE population of illegals. Mexican politicians (and I mean politicians who are running for office in Mexico) come up to Chicago to campaign! The Chicago towns of Pilsen and Little Village, to name just two, are pretty much Mexican colonies. Moreover, Mexican drug cartels are firmly entrenched in Chicago, and in Chicago municipal government.
Supposedly Illinois has the 2nd highest number of them after California. My elderly parents live in a suburb closer to the city then we are. I grew up there. Go for a visit now and surrounded by Mexicans. Some drove by the house and I sneered because they were the gangster looking thug type. Mom said “Oh you don’t know if they are “bad.” UGH. I told her she is too naive. She’s always been a very laid-back person. God, how I have grown to hate them! (Not my parents, the Mexican thugs.)
There is a meeting and greeting location for leftists in the neighborhood called “The Unity Center”, (they are also located in other US cities) where illegals can get help with whatever they need, and then the lefties pitch them to join the Communist Party. Chicago is a hell hole...it will eventually be 100% hispanic..don't know what will become of the blacks in the city...who will win out and be top dog is yet to be determined.
