Don’t use the word immigrant because the honest terminology is illegal immigrants. Support for legally entered immigrants is always okay but taking tax payers money and giving it to people who deliberately crossed the border illegally and didn’t stand in line over hard working citizens is WRONG. The black communities are already under served. The veterans are already underserved. How are they supposed to feel about illegal immigrants staying in nice hotels while American citizens and veterans are sleeping on bus benches. You all took an oath to uphold the constitution of the USA 🇺🇸. Serve the CITIZENS of the USA. You’re breaking your oaths.

absolutely nothing. Black communities have never been more funded. They tried heavily funding Englewood years back and all of those new businesses are gone now as well.

How can Chicago spend $70 million when the city has a $358 million deficit. Where is the money coming from.

[@malcsbgoonie]

Its just data man they type in the numbers they need

[@tlindsay1007]

They borrow it, just like the Federal government. Their plan is to keep going into debt, while ignoring our laws and sovereignty. They are working towards a one-world government, neo-Marxist ideology "utopia" world, which will allow a one-world dictator to take over all countries. So, they are NOT concerned about how much money they spend, or how much illegal activity is going on. They're all-in on our Constitution and individual rights being destroyed, and that's why the things that we're seeing them do make no sense to us. In the context of what's actually going on behind the scenes, all of their nonsense makes sense.

[@tlindsay1007]

It's money printing. It should be against the law for our cities and countries to go into debt, when they get plenty of money from taxpayers to take care of the needs of the citizens, and infrastructure.

They didn’t put them up north in the nice suburbs, they put them here so they can begin to clash with the people who live here. You don’t help our homeless, you don’t help our children who are trapped in gang violence, you don’t give opportunities for work with REAL WAGES, you don’t help our veterans, you don’t help our struggling single family homes, you shutdown schools and trades for our children, you shut down mental hospitals that have literal insane people flooding public transportation….. but u have HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE NEVER PAID TAXES AND ARE NOT FROM HERE

You will have different problems both parties wants stole your money BUT at least Republicans are relatively honest about it and dont mask it as helping and virtue signalling and emotional blackmailing. Also where is the limit what is goal and plan? Free debit cards forever? Even if you suport this where is the line? This kind of policies only attract more people because why not then it will be 140 millions more and then what once you hit critical mass you cannot just cut the programs otherwise you will have uprising in streets. I just hope something positive come up from this s..storm that people stop with their grandstanding and virtue signalling and sanctuary nonsense when their city is buckling under few thousand but they had no problem to let border states deal with millions for decades. I so much hate this NIMBY attitude that is so prevalent everybody is so compassioned, understanding, embodiment of Jesus himself until it become their responsibility or even worse should chime in then suddenly all that virtue signalling is out of window.
