Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Tuesday assured incoming high schoolers that they need not to worry about President Trump ending the “Dreamers” program, saying Chicago Public Schools are a “Trump-free” sanctuary for young illegal immigrants.

“To all the Dreamers that are here in this room and in the city of Chicago: You are welcome in the city of Chicago. This is your home. And you have nothing to worry about,” Mr. Emanuel told a group of freshman on the first day of classes at Solorio Academy High School, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

“Chicago, our schools, our neighborhoods, our city, as it relates to what President Trump said, will be a Trump-free zone. You have nothing to worry about,” Mr. Emanuel said. “And I want you to know this, and I want your families to know this. And rest assured, I want you to come to school … and pursue your dreams.”

Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool said the school system is a “sanctuary” for undocumented students.

“We do not allow federal agents on these grounds and in this building,” he said, the Sun-Times reported.

“You are safe and secure here to learn, to grow and to pursue your dreams and we hope that you do so.”

Forget about the idiot Chicago voters ever voting out Rahm or Lisa. Those voters in the Chicago area control the state, not just the city.

That's a demographic problem that exists in many large cities. Blacks and Hispanics, especially, will never elect a non democrat. Downstate is more conservative, but not enough to balance it out. so we get insane radicals running the place. What can you do?

Im leaving in 4 years (when my kid is out of school) that's the only solution I know of. Let Illinois self destruct, maybe it will become a warning to other states of what not to do.
