I believe that the responsibility to have a strategic plan for immigration reform or legislation falls in the hands of our United States policy makers which = both of the parties (Democrats and Republicans) that dominate writing our laws. Pay attention to their policies. This immigration explosion should have been handled by Congress a long time ago, but they kept procrastinating. I don't care if states are sanctuary cites or not. In Chicago, residents do not want an influx of their tax dollars or resources going to immigrants. They are absolutely correct. We have to take care of our own FIRST. If the government is sending thousands of folks to different states in order for them to have better opportunities in life, is the goal and agenda considerate of the individuals who are already living in those states with no humanitarian efforts in place for them? YOU GOTTA B F*CKIN KIDDING ME, RIGHT?
Immigrants are demanding jobs and housing. They are bold. Is it just me, or do you notice how quickly they can sign executive orders for immigrants to get jobs but can't get gun violence in order, medical benefits for Americans (our seniors), student loans, or our homeless issues resolved. There are plenty of individuals in many Democratic states, including Chicago, who have been in need of shelter, medical care, jobs, food, and mental wellness for many years. We call some of these people our homeless population, but there are people who live in homes struggling with the lack of these benefits as well. Inflation has added to the flare of survival. What about our seniors and those on disability? Can we please pass out more humanity to the seniors? Let's not forget about all of our undocumented Chicagoans who have been working and living in Chicago for decades, waiting to receive their new citizenship, legally. The immigrants that are being bused to Chicago now, are coming to their city taking away their resources. Some of the 2023 migrants in the City of Chicago have received housing at hotels. Where is that same energy to house the homeless or folks in need? I agree with the folks in various communities that do not want migrants in their communities. Whoever came up with being in charge over allowing the migrants to come to Chicago are not very sane. It's wrong! There is no room for the migrants to stay. Chicago has enough issues on their plate. They don't have all of the resources or the space for migrants that are currently in the City of Chicago and for the individuals that continue to be bused or dropped off. These migrants and families are sleeping in all kinds of places like airports and police stations. The City of Chicago doesn't know what to do with all of the migrants in Chicago. Does this make sense?
I wonder how effective or ineffective this situation would be if the government actually shut down. Thankfully, according to the blue team, they saved the day. Would our government still give money to Ukraine and other countries? Would the overcrowdings of the migrants still be allowed into the United States? I digress.
