Because they are pulling an intentional stall tactic by the mayor's floor leader Ramirez-Rosa. Before he appears here (37:47) He was one of the Aldermen the 1st alderman called out for hiding in the back room (0:01) But what he was doing was bodily blocking a female Alderman, telling her not to go out and allow a quorum vote because the migrants get mad at Americans questioning their right to come here, unimpeded. The mayor was behind this move.

He said don't worry it's women and children but it wasn't. It was men in their 20's-fighting age. And Muslims didn't like Americans nor would they assimilate. They were rudely demanding! Dems wouldn't enforce law in place and deport. They didn't want them deported. Dems wanted illegals cause they'd do anything to come here and live and dems wanted their votes so they could keep themselves in power. They also wanted American middle class gone. Dems committed genocide of the way to depopulate saying not enough resources for us all. They want elderly, homeless, chronically ill, handicapped, and those who resist as in genocide! They will handpick all professionals they need. They want control of your kids too to reprogram them to suit their needs. A handful of men decided this.

Pay to play is the modern Democratic Party. They aren’t the same Democratic Party of the civil rights era. Blacks should return to the Republican party that stood with them in the Civil War.

It’s time to wake up and stop voting skin deep and listen to Doctor Martin Luther King jr and vote on the content of someone’s character. Change is needed but it isn’t coming from someone like Obama it comes from voters like you standing up and making a change.

this is bigger than Chicago. If Chicago was to end it those busses will get rerouted to NYC or some other sanctuary city until they either fix the border and/or there are no more sanctuary cites.
