Chicago Democrat urges officials to remove sanctuary city status as residents suffer: 'We are not happy'
Fox News ^ | 1/26/24 | Elizabeth Heckman

A Chicago Democrat is calling for the city's sanctuary status to be removed as the migrant crisis continues to squeeze community resources.

Government employee Cata Truss told "Fox News @ Night" Democrat voters like her are growing increasingly frustrated with the party's handling of the issue.

"There is no moneys to take care of the migrants, nor is there moneys to take care of the people that are there. And so we have a mess on our hands," Truss said Wednesday.

Truss argued Windy City residents are upset over low income communities and schools being "divested in" while funds are used for the care of migrants instead.

"This is the sentiment from the city of Chicago: We would like to have our status as a sanctuary city removed," she said. "We would also like to see a better plan in place."

Truss said she tried to reach out to Democratic elected officials in the city to sit down with her and other members of the community to discuss the situation, but "no one was willing" to talk.

"If you are all not willing to sit down with us, if you're not willing to talk to us, why should we continue to support you?" she said. "A lot of us [Democrats] are jumping ship."

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson defended his handling of the crisis, Wednesday.

"I know folks may question my style, but don't question my leadership," the Democrat said.

More of how getting rid of a bad law first involves strictly enforcing it.

Maybe the parasite class will rise up and defend their right to the free stuff. It’s been three generations now and they’re culturally, if not genetically, conditioned to be moochers for life.

Moneys?

This is how a government employee talks?

Oh it was all fun games and parties until the border states started shipping the sanctuary seekers into their neighborhood. Now the chicago democrats are begging for mercy where before they were swilling in the condemnation of the racists on the southern border.

Let them feel the full effect of the stupidity they voted for.

This article demonstrates the democRat's lack of reasoning.
Even if the city's sanctuary status is removed, O'bozo joe's ICE isn't going to enforce the law.

Its schadenfreude to see tolerant and compassionate Chicago Democrats begging for
mercy after their feel-good condemnation of those “racists” on the southern border.

That is, until Texas learned migrants would feel more comfortable-——
even (sob) wanted-——in those open-armed welcoming northern “sanctuary cities.”

LOL. This causes me to resurrect my “Ode to Schadenfreude” Song (to the tune of Beethoven of course!)

The Schadenfreude Song:

Schadenfreude, Gut und Funky
You gets your come upensee!
Dogma can be such a bitch
Ven Karma runneth over thee!
Schadenfreude makes me happy
Even though it is a sin.
Moral is don’t dig a pit
Unless you wanna fall right in!

“While running for office last year, Johnson was in full support of migrants coming to the city, but has recently said the current influx is “not sustainable” and has sought further federal assistance.”

Johnson’s solution, more money instead of enforcement of immigration laws. i.e. More democrap stupidity.

"Beethoven" covers a lot tunes. Can you narrow it down? Are the lyrics sung with a stage German accent, as in Der Fuehrer's Face

Why do you even have to ax that question.
