As has been said so many times, having DeSantis and Abbott, especially Abbott, sending busload after busload after busload to sanctuary cities and states was a brilliant move, forcing them to actually deal with their beliefs, such as Sanctuary City Chicago (SCC)
New survey reveals how voters feel about Chicago’s sanctuary city status
More than 60% of respondents in a recent survey believe Chicago’s sanctuary city status should be removed.
Polling firm, M3 Strategies, finished conducting a survey this week on the migrant situation and sanctuary city policies in Chicago.
M3 Strategies surveyed 659 randomly selected likely Chicago voters between Oct. 1 to 3.
According to the poll, 70% of voters surveyed say focus on housing new migrants is negatively affecting current Chicago residents in need. This opinion rings true across several demographics, with 67% of Democrats, 74% of women, 79% of Black, 71% of Hispanic, and 75% of West and South side voters agreeing supporting migrants comes at the expense of Chicagoans.
Safety was also a concern with 50% of respondents saying housing migrants makes Chicago less safe.
I’m not sure how Chicago can be less safe, but, perhaps from those who live in the safer areas of SCC they feel in danger
The survey found that 39% of respondents believe Chicago should remain a sanctuary city. Support for remaining a sanctuary city is strongest among White voters and on the North and Northwest sides.
Those would be the areas who are not having illegals sheltered. They do not get them in the high-toned and fancy-toodoo sections of Chicago.
“The feds must step up at the border. This along with the numerous homeless encampments and the daily random violence without any consequence, makes stepping out of my home scary,” a 46-64-year-old Democratic Hispanic woman said via the survey.
In other words, shut it down as much as possible
“I support Chicago being a migrant city but the volume of people entering the city and the large cost are not sustainable. Local and federal government need to work together to figure out how to fix our crisis at the border and determine a long-term fix because we have other large issues in this city that need to be addressed as well as migrants,” an 18-30-year-old Democratic White woman said.
Double in other words, this uber-Progressive supports SCC being a migrant city as long as there aren’t migrants in Chicago. Fixing the border is easy:
- Anyone caught crossing the border illegally or found illegally in the U.S. is deported immediately. Period. There are no excuses accepted. Any assets will be used to pay for deportation. They are welcome to apply for asylum outside the U.S.
- Shut the asylum system down. Shut down bringing in refugees. We can still allow those who want to go through the naturalization process to do so as normal, but, no longer will we bring in people who just want the advantages of being in the U.S., but, not embrace being an American. We’ve shut down immigration for decades in the past, giving them time to assimilate.
- Any business/individual who employs an illegal will be dealt with harshly as a criminal violation unless they can show they did everything possible to verify employment status.
- Stack up the National Guard on the border. Walls in remote regions. Visas for those Mexicans who do want to cross over for work knowing they need to go at the end. It’d be nice if we could have relations with Mexico like with Canada.
- Any work/school visa must be fully tracked, and they must leave when it is up. No more sticking around forever, no more bringing the whole extended family over.
Of course, just because the Dems are polling this way doesn’t mean they won’t vote the same way again and again and again.
There is no cure for stupid.
As Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the mouth.” By shipping off the
illegal immigrants‘migrants’ to sanctuary cities, Greg Abbott has hit them in the mouth.
