WATCH: Alderman Blasts Chicago for Paying Illegals More than $9,000 a Month in Freebies: ‘I’d Come to Chicago, Too’
Breitbart ^ | 02/01/2024 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Posted on 02/01/2024 2:14:01 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Chicago’s 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale is fed up with City Hall handing out freebies to illegal aliens and says that the large amount of welfare border crossers are allotted is serving as an advertisement for even more to come here.

During a recent address made on the floor of the Chicago city council, Beale said that illegals are being paid more than $9,000 a month in free childcare, housing vouchers, food, clothing, education, legal help, and other services.

In case any African Americans are wondering — No, you aren’t going to get reparations. But the guys from South America are. Right now. In your face. It’s Joe’s idea.

Is this real? How much does it cost to prosecute people that are violating their oath of office and aiding and abetting enemy invaders?

They are trying to create new democrat voters.

They are giving illegals $108,000 a year in direct cash equivalent support.

That is the same as an American family making $250000 a year.

Per illegal

Well, on the bright side, even half that amount would be unsustainable, and the entire system will soon collapse.

Let It Burn........ And it will, as soon as the EBTs run out.

Socialism works great until they run out of other people’s money.

The Democrats have done something that conservatives have been unable to do - they have demonstrated the folly of open borders, soft on crime, soft racism (not holding minorities to the same standards as the rest of our society, and the willingness to engage in endless wars.

All this in three years. It may not seem like it but the tide is moving away from the Democrats and their insane policies.

For reference, a 100% VA Disabled Veteran with a spouse gets $3,946.25 per month.

$9000/ month. That's more than $100K/year.

How many working Chicagoans make that much?

Is there no means testing or income verification for this $9000? Or just show up and collect your stuff?

$9000 per person, family of 4, two working parents - they make a pretty decent living. Is any of that $9000 taxable income?

I miss America.

Where Americans could get jobs and were reasonably-protected against illegals

These sneak thieves are mostly grouped up somewhere but wait till they disperse and organize. Crime will skyrocket and the theft murder and rape will touch all of our lives because there are so many of them. Rents will skyrocket as well. They will also begin violent political demonstration. These aren’t guesses. These things are in fact inevitable.

$9,000/month = $108,000/yr

Probably tax-free.

How much would one have to make in Chicago to have take-home pay of $108,000/yr after taxes?

According to

https://www.forbes.com/advisor/taxes/paycheck-calculator/illinois/?gross_pay=152392&pay_period=annually&periods_per_year=1&annual_pay=152392&filing=married&two_jobs=yes&dependencies=0&other_income=0&deductions_4b=0&extra_withholdings=0&tax_deferral=0&health_insurance=0&pre_tax_deduction=0&federal_taxable=152%252C392&adjusted_annual_wage=152392&deduction_name=&deduction_type=gross_pay_percent&deduction_amount=0&state_local_tax=4.80&post_tax_deduction=0&post_tax_reimbursment=0

It is approximately $152,000.

This is over twice the US household median I come.

And the African Americans will vote for the more democrat democrat. It isn’t about the immigration. It is competing for the free stuff
