Chicago Councilman Poses Novel Solution: Wealthy Neighbors Should Sign Up to House Illegal Immigrants

An Illinois councilman has an interesting idea for dealing with the state's rapidly growing influx of illegal immigrants.
Councilman Josh McBroom, who represents the affluent district of Naperville, suggested that residents of his "affluent community" take illegals into their homes to remove the rapidly increasing burden on the state's taxpayers.
"In the event of a massive influx of migrants, I do believe our city is prepared,” Councilman McBroom said during a discussion about housing transient migrant families on their way to Chicago.
“The public should also know taxpayer dollars are not, and will not, be used to house any potential migrants in the neighborhood. There’s been some misinformation out there.”
McBroom added he would not support using taxpayer money to fund the state's response.
“I’m not going to support using other peoples’ money to house or aid. I do know there’s a lot of people who do care. I think we live in a compassionate community,” he continued.
“We do have a very affluent community, a lot of big homes, and what I'd like to do is direct staff to create a signup sheet for individuals that would be willing to house migrant families.”
