Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Thursday urged President Biden to grant work permits to nearly 500,000 illegal migrants living in the state. Johnson also said the city, which has roughly 2.7 million people, can "conservatively" welcome another 400,000 to 700,000 illegal migrants.

"We need the president to extend the same economic opportunities long term for our undocumented brothers and sisters, so they can build a better life here in the city of Chicago or wherever else they decide to live," Johnson said during a roundtable with urban business leaders.

"I want to make this emphatically clear: Chicago will never turn its back on people who wish to call the city of Chicago their home," Johnson said.(snip)

"I remain standing in my belief that a more inclusive and equitable future for all residents is truly possible, whether they arrived here yesterday or have been here for an extended period of time," he said.

The mayor added that even though the "humanitarian crisis" continues to overwhelm and "test the city," officials will not "waver in their commitment to the immigrant communities."

Will they be paying taxes? Or will most of their "earnings" be sent back home via Western Union?

Why not issue them SS cards/numbers and make them all citizens with a wave of a magical Demonrat wand?

Who’s behind the Labor rights for migrants in Illinois

It’s the Gamaliel Foundation, the Largest Marxist Socialist group in Illinois and the USA.

ILlinois would do better to just send Biden’s illegal alien parolees to District of Columbia to wait for their trials instead.

So Rat Central got ahold of Dopey and told him what for!

Get on the bandwagon or we’ll burn you down!

If the illegals were all White, think this dimbulb racist would be saying this?

One little word of caution to the Negro idiots of Chicago: the South Americans have no qualms about muscling you out of your job. Like in South Central Los Angeles, the Mexican gangs there pushed all the black gangs and people out of places like Compton, Wilmington, etc; they will do the same in what’s left of Chicago. And Brandon the Dope will be pushed out too, replaced by some ranting La Raza Racist.

Hilarious. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of trash.
