    Furious Chicago residents slam city over migrant crisis as officials plan to force youth football team off their home field to make a new camp | Daily Mail Online

    More than 17,000 migrants have arrived in the Windy City since August 2022, with more than 10,000 in shelters and close to 3,200 staying in police stations and the O'Hare International Airport. The city government says it has so far allocated $328 million in aid.

    'We're going to sue the bosses and sue the democrats as civilians, because they're supposed to represent the people they voted for,' the man said. 'Don't let the Democrats have their stupid convention here. Enough is enough. All I see is the citizens of Chicago marching to their death chambers.'

    Meanwhile, hundreds have protested the city's plan to turn the Amundsen Park Fieldhouse into an emergency shelter for about 200 asylum seekers. About 400 locals gathered on Tuesday for a meeting to oppose the plan, and a protest is planned for Friday to oppose the proposed tent shelter.

    Now these cities ran by liberals get to see the real problem with illegal immigration first hand. It's sad this is the only way to make liberals see the problem they created

    12ft | Resentment Over Biden Border Crisis Growing in Blue Massachusetts

    Gov. Maura Healey has been clear that she wants Biden to cut loose with more money in federal aid to the state to pay for the thousands of illegals flooding the state, and she has also called for fast tracked work permits to get the illegals earning a paycheck. So far, her requests have fallen on deaf ears in the White House.

    Massachusetts has seen some 6,800 border crossers arrive in the state. While that is a far smaller number than the influx inundating Chicago or New York City, Bay State officials say that their resources are already stretched to the full extent available.

    Healey’s office says that about 1,000 new migrant families are arriving every month and caring for them is costing the state $45 million monthly.

    Liberal Democrat Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois recently sent a letter to the Biden administration admitting that his state is under an “enormous strain” over the flood of Illegals, most of which are headed for Chicago.

    Dumb move, especially if it interrupts football season. Cities need their (limited) green spaces. Kids need their parks and sports. Those should be 100% off limits.

    There was a homeless camp that took over a park in my town a few years ago. It was right next to a school, so didn’t take long for residents to get pissed and for the park to get cleared. Obviously Chicago would have a lot less open space to deal with, but still incredibly stupid. Of course the purpose of the right wing “trafficking” stunts is the optics of having immigrants sitting on sidewalks, or the cities having to repurpose their parks. This is giving them what they want.

    Yes, well played by the right wingers who wouldn’t allow leftist politicians to get away with an illegal migrate dump on red Texas and sent them directly to the horse’s mouth.

    The Democratic National Convention is in Chicago next year. Could there be a repeat of 1968 riots?

    agree. From what I’ve seen our urban areas desperately need these activities for kids in lower income brackets.

    Your chosen media foments your personal hatred by lying to you. Why do you believe it? Perhaps because you want to.

    The only problem with the Breitbart story is that the overwhelming majority of migrants in Massachusetts are asylum seekers legally in the country not illegals. I also thought that conservatives/Republicans would be supportive of the proposal to accelerate the issuance of work permits for migrants since I always thought that conservatives were of the opinion that people should be independent and self-supporting rather than having to rely on charities or the government for support.

    Which is exactly what I was referring to. Why do you think the author mislabels these people?

    Breitbart isn't even remotely a news source. It's strategy is to reinforce the prejudices of its readers the truth being completely relevant. Reminds of a story that Breitbart ran around five years and also posted on this board possibly by the OP of this thread. The headline of the story was something to the effect "Illegal alien charged with starting deadly wildfire". The only problem with the story was that the guy wasn't an illegal alien, he was a homeless American with an Hispanic surname and he wasn't charged with starting the wildfire that resulted in deaths, he was arrested for starting a small fire in a county park to keep warm and was released on his own recognizance.

    The Windy City alone has suffered an influx of more than 15,000 illegals just since last year and the Land of Lincoln has been left footing the $330 million bill to house, feed, clothe, and give medical care to the border crossers entering their state. And that doesn’t even count what Chicago has spent.

    New York Gov. Kathy Hohcul, also a left-wing Democrat, has been pleading with the Biden administration to take responsibility for Biden’s border crisis and in Aug. begged the administration for a bailout to help care for the illegals.

    Meanwhile, nearby New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy also put the Biden administration on blast and even said that his state is closed to more illegals.

    The essence of the story is that larger, Democratic run cities are now having to deal with the policies of Democrats making access to the USA easier for foreigners. Sadly, these are human beings who are now pawns in the political gamesmanship of Democrats allowing more in and Republicans giving the Dems a taste of their own medicine.

    Isn't it about time for Vanity Fair or Rolling Stone to run another article about the Supreme Court's Republican judges? I cannot wait. :rolleyes:

    Just a reminder, asylum seekers are not illegals.
