Chicagoans are enraged after it was revealed the city plans to house hundreds of migrants at a local park, displacing youth and senior programs as the Windy City continues to battle an influx of illegal immigrants.
Linda Johnson was one of the hundreds of residents who attended a protest against the move on Tuesday. She joined "America's Newsroom" to discuss why she is outraged by the intention to re-purpose Amundsen Park field.
"They're trying to put a Band-Aid on a leaky fountain, and the thing about that, it does not work and they don't have a plan," she said Friday. "Now, mind you, it is unfair to those that are coming in, and it's unfair to us that they are displacing in the park district."
