Chicago Alderman: We Invited Migrants by Being a Sanctuary, ‘Nobody’ Thought It Would Lead to Current Situation
Breitbart ^ | 01/04/2024 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 01/05/2024 5:46:35 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Chicago Alderman Brian Hopkins acknowledged that city leaders did send a message that anyone could come by being a sanctuary city — although he doesn’t agree with sending that message — but nobody “had any idea that it would lead to this today” when the city became a sanctuary city in the 1980s and the current situation “was completely unpredicted and it’s completely unprecedented and nobody thought a sanctuary city would mean what it means.”

Co-host Sandra Smith asked, [relevant exchange begins around 3:30] “[D]idn’t leadership in your city say, we’re a sanctuary city, all are welcome, wasn’t that the message?”

FYI I have been informed that 20,000 are heading towards our border and picking up steam! By the time they arrive at the border it’ll be between 30-40,000 invaders rushing our border. And there ain’t CHIT we can do about it! Bend over folks, FJB and his diabolical administration is just about to give it to us right in the back!

Hey—”COUNCILMAN”-—

POLITICIANS are supposed to be LEADERS——

LEADERS are supposed to have the capacity to think —at least a LITTLE BIT ahead.

All of those politicians preach about ‘being prepared’ for power outages——roads being impassable-—all kinds of things......

BUT NONE OF YOU POMPOUS IDIOTS THOUGHT THIS “SANCTUARY” STATUS COULD LEAD TO OVERWHELMING PROBLEMS?????

All these towns now need a “NO VACANCY “ sign at every entrance.

YOU ALL ARE ENTRUSTED WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS & WE WISH SUCH MONEY TO BE SPENT IN TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY PAY THE TAXES.

FEED THE FERAL CATS ===

GET MORE FERAL CATS

SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THIS IS ANY DIFFERENT

Hi. I am Nobody.

And yes. We whole bunch of Nobodies told you that this is exactly what would happen. And it did.

Would you like some more advice from Nobody that you will not follow and cry like a little b--ch about?

Stop spending money you do not have. Start locking up people who commit crimes and allow people to carry.

You will be surprised at how many problems that would clear up.

Some body give this dumbass a dictionary, tell him to look up “sanctuary” and then “city”, the definitions are pretty clear.

But I guess that’s only if the idiot democrat can read!

Translation - we thought they will all stay in Texas and the south - not turn into a problem for Chicago. At the same time we thought we could use it to score political points.

Chicago might have been closer to OK if the Biden gang and Mayorkas hadn’t demanded howling mad immigration policies.

My tagline isn’t a joke.

It’s a statement of fact.

Most people in the United States tend to stay where they are and only move if their job changes or their adult children move away and they want to be near their grandchildren (and now because out-of-control liberals are making their states unlivable). Under these circumstances it is easy to declare one's city to be a sanctuary from immigration laws.

The problem was that Joe Biden opened up the border to an uncontrolled inflow of foreigners at a rate of at least one million people per year. Those people have to go somewhere, so they're heading for the "sanctuary cities." It doesn't matter that Abbott and DeSantis are busing people there, those people would have made their way on their own eventually.

How could putting up a big sign saying “Y’all come!” make people come?
