He’s not happy about those darned peasants coming around and protesting against the Chicago sanctuary city policies
The self-professed “progressive” Mayor of Chicago Brandon Johnson is taking heat for the “antidemocratic” move of shutting down the public gallery in the city council chambers after weeks of citizens filling the gallery and vociferously protesting his sanctuary city policies.
The mayor has canceled the open-door policy for the second-floor gallery where citizens once could take a seat to watch the proceedings of the council as it debates issues, sets policies, and works to pass statutes.
In the past, the gallery was open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis. But now, the mayor has changed the rules with a new policy where gallery seats are doled out only to those who have asked an alderman for permission to attend a session.
The change in the gallery seating policy comes after months of sometimes disruptive behavior from citizens who came to watch over the city council’s business, and in almost every case recently, the spark for that disruption was the mayor’s migrant spending plans.
Citizens will be allowed to sit in the third-floor gallery, but this small viewing platform is high above the chambers and is also behind glass where any catcalls or comments will go unheard by the council members and the mayor down below.
Well, yeah, how dare those citizens complain about all the illegal aliens messing up Chicago! And many of those complaining about all the illegals consistently vote Democrat, so, they got what they wanted. When are camps for illegals going to be put in the upper class areas of Chicago?
Brighton Park migrant tent camp construction begins, despite protests, concerns from residents
Construction to build a winterized base camp for migrants is underway in Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood, despite concerns and protests from concerned residents and Ald. Julia Ramirez, whose ward includes the site.
“Yesterday, GardaWorld staged materials and began placing bases for structures on the site,” a statement from Mayor Brandon Johnson’s office said Wednesday. “Today, framing will be erected for 1-2 structures and materials will continue to be laid out for additional structures.”
Photos and video taken Wednesday morning at the site show the scale of the project, with massive cranes working to put up the framing.
The Brighton Park area is mostly a low income area, with over 58% in that category. 83% identify as Latino, so, of course Johnson sends the illegals there, rather than toney areas like Hyde Park, Forest Glen, Lincoln Park, etc.
Texas Gov. Abbott vows more migrants to NYC and other cities until Biden ‘secures the border’
Texas has bused nearly 70,000 migrants to so-called sanctuary cities and will continue to do so until President Biden “secures the border,” Gov. Greg Abbott warned Wednesday.
More than one-third of migrants bused out of Texas – 25,000 – were routed to New York City under a state border security and burden-sharing effort launched by the Republican governor in 2021, dubbed Operation Lone Star.
“Texas will bus migrants to sanctuary cities until Biden secures the border,” Abbott wrote in an Instagram story post on Wednesday, sharing the latest breakdown of which cities have received the most migrants from the Texas busing program.
“Over 12,500 to DC. Over 25,000 to New York City. Over 20,000 to Chicago. Over 3,200 to Philadelphia. Over 7,400 to Denver. Over 1,100 to Los Angeles,” the governor noted, adding, “Our mission provides vital relief to border towns.”
Keep sending them, Greg, keep sending them!
