Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) is celebrating the City Council’s approval to spend $51 million on newly arrived border crossers and illegal aliens — against objections from local taxpayers who said their needs are being put last in favor of foreign nationals. On Wednesday evening, the Democrat-controlled Chicago City Council voted 34-13 to spend $51 million on more than 10,000 border crossers and illegal aliens that have arrived in the city since August of last year.
