Proposed solutions to migrant influx in Chicago cause conflict among Dems

[KARAH RUCKER]

A WEALTHY CHICAGO SUBURB IS FLOATING AROUND THE IDEA OF RESIDENTS OPENING UP THEIR HOMES TO MIGRANTS WHO HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES ON THE STREETS OF THE BIG CITY.

IT’S BEING PITCHED AS A POSSIBLE BAND AID TO HELP WITH AN INFLUX OF MIGRANTS ARRIVING AT CHICAGO’S BUS STATIONS.

EVEN CITY DEMOCRATS ARE TURNING AGAINST FELLOW DEMOCRATS AND LEFT-LEANING POLICIES AS THEY GRASP FOR A SOLUTION.

CHICAGO HAS BEEN A SANCTUARY CITY FOR DECADES.

THE STATUS IS MEANT TO PROTECT MIGRANTS AND ASSIST THEM WITH CITY SERVICES.

SANCTUARY CITIES ATTRACT MIGRANTS –

KNOWING RESOURCES WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO THEM.

BUT NOW SOME DEMOCRATS ARE SAYING CITY RESOURCES ARE BECOMING DEPLETED BECAUSE OF THIS UNPRECEDENTED INFLUX OF MIGRANTS MOVING TO THEIR CITY.

RESOURCES – THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE HELPING OTHER MINORITIES IN NEED.

NOW – CHICAGO IS BEING SUED OVER IT.

[CATA TRUSS | CHICAGO DEMOCRAT, GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE]

“We would like to see our status as a sanctuary city removed. We would also like to see a better plan in place.”

“There is no moneys to take care of the migrants, nor is there moneys to take care of the people that are there.”

[KARAH RUCKER]

NOT ONLY ARE DEMOCRATS COMING FOR THE CITY’S DEMOCRATIC POLICIES –

BUT SOME ARE  ALSO LOOKING TO RECALL THEIR DEMOCRATIC MAYOR OVER THE MIGRANT CRISIS.

THERE’S BEEN MORE THAN 30,000 MIGRANTS COME INTO CHICAGO IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.

THE CRISIS – IS OVERFLOWING INTO THE SUBURBS.

WHERE ONE NAPERVILLE COUNCILMAN IS VOWING NOT TO USE THEIR CITY’S TAXPAYER MONEY TO HOUSE MIGRANTS –

BUT IS ASKING RESIDENTS IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP AND HOUSE MIGRANT FAMILIES.

[JOSH MCBROOM | NAPERVILLE COUNCILMAN]

“We do know there’s increasing pressure for suburbs to i guess do our part.”

“You know we do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes. What i would like to do is direct staff to create a sign up sheet. So for individuals that would be willing to house migrant families. And if there’s people to do that, god bless them.”

[KARAH RUCKER]

BIG SANCTUARY CITIES ARE STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS WHO HAVE COME OVER IN A YEAR’S TIME –

WHILE EVERY MONTH AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER –

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS CONTINUE TO CROSS OVER.
