As the City of Chicago continues to struggle to deal with the flood of illegal migrants showing up and demanding sanctuary and other resources, the city’s leaders have continued to seek places to set up emergency shelters for them. The latest effort is slated to be a “tent camp” erected in the Brighton Park neighborhood on the southwest side of the city. Construction work had already begun on a ten-acre parcel of land that has traditionally been available for public use, but that ground to a halt two days ago when local residents showed up and formed a human barricade to prevent construction equipment from moving into or out of the site. The protesters carried signs and waved American flags. After a few hours, the police were called and they removed some of the protesters, allowing the work to move forward. But the neighbors promised that they would be back and will continue to oppose this project.

This isn’t the first place where protests have broken out around migrant shelters in Chicago. And neither of the two remaining Republicans in the Windy City were reportedly in attendance, so this isn’t some sort of right-wing demonstration. These are the people from these neighborhoods who are fed up with the situation and are loudly criticizing Mayor Brandon Johnson’s handling of it, along with the City Council.
That simmering anger spilled over into actual violence this week when Alderwoman Julia Ramirez showed up and attempted to speak to some of the concerned residents. She was “swarmed” by the protesters and eventually physically attacked. One of her aides was taken to the hospital with minor injuries but is reportedly in good condition.

You people in Chicongo want to kick some ass, there are hordes of illegal alien “advocates” south of the border posing as U.S. lawyers and helping their illegal brothers to get all the way to Chicago that could use a good asskicking for their attack on America.

Let’s go Brandon.
Just to the east of Brighton Park is Jackson Park. Though it has the name of a dreaded slave owner, it would be the most appropriate place to house/tent these invaders. There is lots of open space and a scenic view of the lakefront.
Put them right by the monument to the person who initiated this invasion.
