People are sick of this! Chicago doesn’t address the 68000 homeless, those losing their homes and near eviction, seniors who can’t afford a place to live, the disabled who can’t get provisions needed. Take care of your true citizens who were born here 1st.

To the lady who wants compassion for illegals. First most do not qualify for asylum. They are looking for jobs and less crime. Secondly, what about compassion for citizens who can’t afford housing, who are struggling, whose children are cold and hungry. Citizens first

Growing up in Brighton Park where there were, at one point, majority white ppl…. it’s unbelievable how anyone now can even remotely have a say so about more immigrants coming for the same exact reason their mother and grandmother, father and grandfather came to America for!!!!! #SoSad 😢
