Chicago migrants: Rep. Jonathan Jackson holds heated town hall on Chicago migrant crisis

There are more than three thousand asylum seekers living in tents at police stations across the city. Congressman Jonathan Jackson addressed the crisis with a town hall. Dozens turned out for the event at the South Shore Cultural Center. Congressman Jackson says more reliable housing needs to be made available as temperatures drop.

These people never qualified for asylum, this is all b.s. lol. Now all our money is gone and spent. That's why I kept saying.

[@LilannB]

Legally it is not any taxpayers problem. Trump pulled the US out of the "non-binding" UN migrants treaty. Under that treaty illegal migrants would receive essentially the same benefits as citizens of the country. Trump saw through that treaty and got the US out of it. Under US federal law illegal migrants are not entitled to anything which is why they are showing up in large numbers in the "sanctuary" cities.

IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING THAT IS GOING ON IN THE UNITED STATES, THEY MUST, AND I REPEAT MUST BE KNOWLEDGABLE OF WORLD POLITICS AND HOW THE UNITED STATES IS MOVING IN OTHER COUNTRIES. LOOK AT FOREIGN MEDIA TO GET THE TRUTH. WHAT THE UNITED STATES DOES IS GO INTO THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, STEAL THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES, ASSASSINATE THEIR LEADERS WHO DOES NOT SUPPORT EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES CORRUPT PRACTICES. AFTER THE UNITED STATES MURDER THESE COUNTRIES LEADERS, THEY WILL THEN INSTALL A US AND EURPOPE-BACKED POLITICIAN TO RUN THE COUNTRY SO THE US/EU CAN CONTINUE TO STEAL RESOURCES AND KEEP THOSE COUNTRIES POOR. DO NOT LET THESE POLITICIANS LIE TO YOU!!! WE NEED TO BLAME THE UNITED STATES FOR THIS MIGRANT CRISIS BECAUSE THEY CAUSED IT AND THEY ARE FORCING US TO PAY FINANCIALLY FOR IT AND ALSO HORRIBLY PAY CONSEQUENCES FOR CRAP THAT WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR!!

@ou8r122 he didn't reinstate NAFTA at all. He passed a revision to NAFTA that resulted in the terms being more favorable to us. If he had not done that, it would've continued being incredibly lopsided. His revisions created somewhere in the range of about 1 million new jobs and accrued to our benefit to the tune of $68 billion a year in trade. And you do know that most of the people coming over here right now not from Mexico so this is just stupid. As for Europe, the reason why Europe has a problem with immigration right now is because Angela Merkel pushed to take in what was supposed to be Syrian refugees and turned out to be Muslim migrants from all over the globe. Once they allowed them to stay, it sent a message that you could just show up in Europe and they would take you in. When you send that message, you can't be surprised when people continue to flow in until you tell them to stop.

I think they are looking for EQUAL TREATMENT from their local and federal government. I think that is beyond reasonable. It's the whole thing all of us for these hundreds of years have been fighting for in America. Think about it. The revolutionaries fought for equal treatment, union soldiers fought for equal treatment, we fought against the Germans on behalf of equal treatment, blacks been fighting like hell for equal treatment.

I'm not opposed to immigration, but I want people to come legally, and the fact that a communist country chose communism and then screwed up there economy isn't a basis for asylum. It's just not. Asylum is for people who are being persecuted and all they're doing is creating a system where these people will have children here by the time they have the court case and then you won't ever get rid of them. Do you know that we end up subsidizing illegal immigrants not only through all their lifetime and the lifetime of their children, but through most of the lives of their grandchildren before we ever get to a point where they're contributing as much as they're pulling out of the system. Do you want to be carrying an extra 50 million people on your back because I sure as hell don't and I don't think that's fair to struggling people. I might be a white Gen X her, but I'm also disabled and it seems to me that a lot of people are in the same struggling category as I am. This only makes it harder for people like us to get help.
