Chicago residents speak out against migrants welcomed by city: 'Junking up our country'

Angry Chicago residents railed against local leaders at a city council meeting Wednesday as tensions run high over the national illegal immigrant crisis.

City and state officials have approved hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to feed, clothe and house more than 35,000 migrants who have been transported to Chicago and its suburbs in the past year and a half. The overwhelming influx of people has drained city resources and upset residents who told council members they have neglected needy American communities in favor of foreign asylum seekers.

"All this asylum-seeking lie, all this about refugees – no, no no. What's happening is they're emptying out the dregs of their jails into the United States and to our communities," one Chicago resident said during public comments at Wednesday's meeting. "They're junking up our country. And yeah, we feel some kind of way about it because it's our country," the resident said. "We're going to get them out of our communities because they don't deserve to be there."

You get the government you vote for - at the city, state or national level.

Declare your city a sanctuary city, then endure the results. They ain’t happy.

Cry us a river Chicago! You had no problem with illegals over-running Texas, Arizona, etc and chasing way more issues than you are facing now!

Exactly! Someone needs to tell them “You want to fix your city? Then vote the liberal scum who are ruining it out of office and get with the program and go conservative! If you can’t do that, then shut up- we don’t want to hear it beczuse YOU brought it on yourselves!”

Abbott deserves a lot of respect for doing what he did! Whatever else he may or may not acc9mplish, e has succeeded wildly at giving the left a taste of their own rotten medicine!

Th3 bible talks about the dream of a statue where different parts are different metals, and the feet, the most important element to keep,the statue standing strong, is made up of clay and iron

The clay represent represents people who infiltrated the kingdom, refused to assimilate with the kingdom’s values, and u.ti ately end up destroying the kingdom.

We are seeing the very same thing happen to our nation with illegal immigration. They make no pretense of their objectives- they tell us right flat out they will not assimilate and are here to destroy our nation.

The left however are too dumb to learn from history, and think that appeasing our enemies is the way to peace, so they go out of their way to accommodate and placate them- all to our nation’s detriment

Wow! If Chicago “residents” are saying they’re junking up the country, it must be really, really bad.

Hopefully gov Abbott has a few more bus loads to send to these sanctuaries. Let’s see how magnanimous, welcoming and tolerant they really are.

Use Alynsky’s RULE #4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” against them.

And the others too.

But even if most of them are not dregs, we don’t want them. There’s a limit to compassion.

And if the bleeding hearts are truly compassionate let them house and support their precious “refugees”, not delegate their “compassion” to the rest of us.

“The left however are too dumb to learn from history...”

I disagree. They hate America and all it stands for. That’s why they defend its enemies and import people who similarly do not identify with America.

Saw a great meme of Pelosi

“We have to support illegal immigration, Americans don’t vote for us anymore.”

“We have our own criminal dregs, we don’t need to pay for their dregs as well.”

A cop friend in Tampa had arrested several criminals in Tampa and they lived in Miami. He asked them what they were doing in Tampa and they said they’d been caught robbing houses in Miami by people from the Marial Boat lift. They were told if they were caught again they’d be killed. So they moved their robbing to Tampa. Same thing here, I’ll bet.

Not a peep from Chicago’s favorite son, the non-NBC Barry.

They’ll stop in the Hills of Tennessee and never be heard from again.

(Assuming they can get past Texas, was 50/50 but looking better IMHO)
