Windy City Dems approve $70 million for illegals in sucker punch to residents

The handout hits kept coming in Chicago as another eight-figure sum was tacked on to the border crisis amid warnings from voters: “…we coming for those seats, you can believe that.”
A Windy City win for leftists was a loss for locals Friday when the Chicago City Council voted 30-18 to approve Mayor Brandon Johnson’s latest funding request aimed at illegal aliens. The move in favor of another $70 million atop $150 million budgeted toward food and shelter for the foreign nationals followed “heated debate,” according to CBS News Chicago.
“Yes, this is a challenge,” said Budget Committee Chair Alderman Jason Ervin Friday. “Do we want to spend this money like this right now? Of course not, but again, we have an obligation and we have a responsibility to move this ball forward.”
During debate, Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez attempted to ascribe “bigotry and ignorance” to funding opposition, a stance that saw Ald. Scott Waguespack push back that, “that kind of rhetoric has to stop.”
“I really expect the nonsense to stop. I think everybody in this room has had enough. I’ve had enough of the name-calling. I’ve had enough of the attacks on our colleagues,” he added.
