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."

Excuse me? Voters can question any frickin' thing they like, you doofus.
Hilarious. As if that would somehow, magically, remove the migrants already there or stop ever more from coming. Here's a hint: start at the border.
