One-hundred years ago, my grandfather immigrated to the City of Chicago. He was just 13 years old. He had no money. He spoke no English. He knew no one, except for a third-cousin he had never met. He came to Chicago to escape anti-Semitism and the pogroms of Eastern Europe. He found a city where, if you work hard and play by the rules, you can succeed — regardless of your faith or national origin.
My grandfather came to a city of opportunity, not a country that breaks up families at the border. He came to a land of liberty, not a place where federal agents stop people on the street to ask for their papers. He came to a country that has prospered with each new generation of entrepreneurs, innovators and dreamers of every faith and nationality who have sought the promise of a better life in America.
Whether our families traveled across the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Rio Grande or up the Mississippi to arrive in this city, we are all equally Chicagoans and Americans and we share a common destiny that is bigger and brighter than the petty and misguided views of bigots and racists.

1) Anyone entering or remaining illegally was deported and there was never any form of Amnesty for illegals until 1987.
2) Even legal immigrants were deported if the received any form of public assistance.
3) Schools did not accept children who were not born in the US or could not prove they were here legally AND those children accepted were only taught in ENGLISH.
We are witnessing the leftist revolution.
“Work hard and play by the rules.”
You’re not exactly working hard when you’re slopping at the welfare trough.
And your very presence in this country in defiance of our laws can only be construed as “playing by the rules” in the tortured logic of liberal dementia.
Wow! A Democrat who cares about families! Oh, wait......
(Maybe he just cares about foreign families?)
For all of you answering the logic of his statements, I hope none of you think that he really cares about immigrants. Or that he really believes the arguments he’s making.
Rahm Emanuel has no shame when it comes to political pandering.
Meanwhile those immigrants in his wonderful city are gunning one another down in record numbers. What about that Rahm? huh?
He doesn’t believe any of this we are just witnessing an evil illegal Revolution.
Didn’t they used to hang politicians like Rahm 100 years ago?
From reading the title I though the crappie LIB sum times was speaking of the idiot LIBs. LOL. Pathetic...and desperate.
If immigrants legal or illegal started voting Republican in large numbers he and all the rest of the Democrats would hunt them down with dogs. That is not an exaggeration. The Press would begin telling us that immigrants and all immigrants are evil.
Yes. Killing cops, raping women, slicing necks while yelling “allaku akbar” is truly hatred and ugliness.
“Speak Out Against the Hatred and Ugliness Whirling Around Us”
i do almost everyday in one manner or form.

He came to a country with 103 million people.
Now the US has 326 million people.
Stupid liberal morons.
“the Hatred and Ugliness Whirling Around Us”
I assumed the article was about the actions of masked thugs hired by the Democrats to attack law abiding Americans at political rallies.
Or even the constant animus demonstrated by Democrats towards their political enemies, like this article.
The corrupt and moronic Rahm Emanuel. ROTFL! He needs these illegal aliens here to vote in order to keep his job.
Rahm Emanuel, does what’s good for Rahm Emanuel, not the people of Chicago.
